2. What is the purpose of systems engineering?


Answer:
Develop balanced system solutions that satisfy diverse stakeholder needs?

3. What are the key activities in the system specification and design process?
Answer:
• Elicit and analyze stakeholder needs
• Specify the system
• Synthesize alternative system solutions
• Perform trade-off analysis
• Maintain traceability

4. Who are the typical stakeholders that span a system’s life cycle?
Answer:
Operator/user, Manufacturer, Maintainer, Governments, ..

5. What are different types of requirements?


Answer:
Functional, Interface, Performance, Physical, Quality attributes such as reliability
and maintainability

6. Why is it important to have a multidisciplinary systems engineering


team? Answer:
To provide the understanding and expertise of the multiple stakeholder and technical
and engineering domains
Chapter 2
7. What are some of the roles on a typical systems engineering team?
Answer:
Management, Requirements Analyst, Architect, System Analyst, Tester

8. What role do standards play in systems engineering?

industry domains.
Chapter 3
1. What are some of the primary distinctions between MBSE and a document-based
approach?
Answer:
In MBSE, the emphasis is on producing and controlling a coherent system model rather than the
documentation

2. What are some of the benefits of MBSE over the document-based approach?

Enhanced communications
Increased precision of the specification and design
Enhanced design integration
Enhanced reuse of system artifacts

3. Where are the model elements of a system model stored?


Answer:
Model repository

4. Which aspects of the model can be used to define the scope of the model?
Answer:
Breadth, depth, and fidelity of the model

5. What constitutes a good model?


Answer:
It meets its intended purpose

6. What are some of the quality attributes of a good model?


Answer:
Defined scope
Degree of model completion relative to its scope
Degree of consistency
Degree of well-formedness
Understandability
Self documenting
Documented modeling conventions

7. What is the difference between a good model and a good design?


Answer:
Good model accomplishes its purpose. Good design satisfies its requirements

8. What are examples of questions that MBSE metrics can help answer?
Answer:
What is the design quality?
What is the progress of the design/development effort?
What is the estimated effort to complete the design/development?
9. What are possible sizing parameters that could be used to estimate an
MBSE effort?
Answer:
#Use cases
#Scenarios
#States
#System/component interfaces
#System/component activities or
operations #System/component properties
#Components by type (e.g., hardware, software, data, operational
procedures) #Test cases
