Systems Engineering Implementation Examples

Part 7 is a collection of systems engineering (SE) implementation examples to illustrate the principles described in the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) Parts 1-6. These examples describe the application of SE practices, principles, and concepts in real settings.

The intent is to provide typical instances of the application of systems engineering (SE) so readers can learn from these experiences. This can improve the practice of SE by illustrating to students, educators, and practitioners the benefits of effective practice, as well as the risks and liabilities of poor practice.

A matrix of implementation examples is used to map these examples to topics in the SEBoK. Two kinds of examples are included: articles written exclusively for the SEBoK and those based on the SE literature.

More examples will be added over time to highlight the different aspects and applications of SE. In addition, new examples can be added to demonstrate the evolving state of practice, such as the application of model-based SE and the engineering of complex, adaptive systems.

Knowledge Areas in Part 7

Part 7 is organized in the following way:

Characteristics of the organization(s) which do SE have an impact on the engineering itself. It is for this reason that the examples have been sorted into those that occurred in commercial versus government organizations. Case Studies Vignettes
