| What is System Engineering? |
|
Definition
| Overarching process that a program team applies to transition from a stated capability need to an operationally effective and suitable system. |
|
|
Term
System Engineering IS an interdisciplinary problem solving methodology.
(T/F) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| System Engineering evolves an integrated and life-cycle balanced set of systems Product and Process Solutions. (T/F) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
System Engineering progressively decomposes System Requirements into Performance Specs and Decision Support Data.
(T/F) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
System Engineering does NOT define interfaces and procedures for hardware and software system integration.
(T/F). |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
System Engineering verifies that system design meets user requirements at each SEP iteration through the System Life Cycle
(T/F) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What does the SEP produce? |
|
Definition
A description of System Parameters
Decision Support Data
Progressively defines the system
Input for the next SEP iteration |
|
|
Term
SEP is NOT an iterative and Recursive Process
(T/F). |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What does SEP not produce? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Customer Needs/Requirements
Technology Base
Program Decision Requirements
Performance-Based Specs & Standards
Output from previous SEP Iterations
Constraints |
|
|
Term
| What is the purpose of Requirements Analysis in the SEP? |
|
Definition
Develop Functional & Performance requirements
What it must do, How well, What environment, etc
Lay: Translation of customer requirements to functions |
|
|
Term
| What is the purpose of Functional Analysis in the SEP? |
|
Definition
Allocate Functions
Decompose System from higher level functions to lower level functions
Ensure every requirement is addressed by at least 1 function
Lay:: Decompose the functions to lower levels |
|
|
Term
| What is the purpose of Synthesis in the SEP? |
|
Definition
Defines Physical Architecture
All Physical and SW Elements
Each element must address 1 or more Functional Reqs
Lay: Every function linked to a part |
|
|
Term
| What SEP ensures that the system architecture meets the system requirements? |
|
Definition
| Verification Loop verifies that the Physical Architecture Satisfies all of the Sys. Reqs |
|
|
Term
| How may validation be accomplished? |
|
Definition
Inspections,
Demos,
Certifications,
Simulations Analyses,
Testing |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Understand the Problem
Examine alternative Solutions
Verify selected solution is correct |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Make sure all of the requirements are covered by the functional pieces |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Checcks that our sythesized solution covers all areas identified by the Functional Analyses |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The more you can plan and anticipate at the beginning of a program saves an exponential amount of time and money after production |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Interdisciplinary approach
operational capabilities integrated into system design with consideration of ALL lifecycle needs
verified & validated |
|
|
Term
