As we mentioned in our
introduction to the course, system engineering
supports all aspects of the system life cycle. In this module, we describe the
discipline
of systems engineering, and outline its relevance
and its benefits. Now, the last module,
we looked at what we call something a system. In this module, we
introduce what we mean by the term
systems engineering, and we provide a
framework within which we can consider the
major processes, activities, and
artifacts throughout the remainder of the course. In doing so, it will have
become evident to you that the system engineering approach has a number of
advantages. We'll also examine
in this module, the relevance and the benefits
of systems engineering.
