Systems Engineering: Managing System Complexity

Engineers use model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to manage system complexity, improve communication, and produce optimized system performance. Successful MBSE requires the synthesis of stakeholder requirements into architecture models to create intuitive system descriptions.

In this video series, we’ll cover what a product lifecycle looks like and introduce the systems engineering V-model. We’ll cover how trade studies and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) help to optimize system design, and we’ll look at the role that functional, logical, and physical architectures play in the early design process.

This series also covers the importance of requirements and how they are necessary for communicating exactly what needs to be designed. Finally, we’ll cover how systems engineering is responsible for ensuring that the right thing was built through system-level verification and validation.
