The Informal Nature of Systems Engineering

abstract The Systems Engineering (SE) discipline is an integrating discipline. SE integrates and guides mono-disciplines, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software engineering, to create reliable systems. The SE discipline comprehends multiple approaches:
  • well defined formalized SE methods
  • strong process focused
  • "common sense", based on human experience and intelligence
A balance of these three approaches yields successful products. In this document we will discuss this balance and especially the, often underrated, informal side of SE.
