Systems Engineering, theory and applications

Systems Engineering as a discipline was originally introduced in response to the need to develop increasingly complex systems in the aerospace industry. The application of methods and tools for systems engineering has largely impacted the development of aircraft or satellites. The increasing socio-economic challenges related to globalization, population growth, economic interdependence, and sustainability are stressing the need for systems engineering competencies to be applied in different domains. Systems Engineering projects require multidisciplinary skills and cross-functional design teams, including a wide set of disciplines, such as design, manufacturing, system analysis, knowledge management, and sustainability analysis
