Dr. Eisner presented his new method for architecting systems based on his new Book "Systems Architecting Methods and Examples." The four-step method: (1) functional decomposition, (2) synthesis, includes a classic cost-effectiveness analysis (3) analysis, (4) preferred architecture selection. Ground-rules for the overall procedure include simplification, weighted evaluation criteria, and considerations on tradeoff and interoperability.

Read MoreDr. Keith D. Willett discusses the now and future discipline of systems engineering (SE v2.0) requiring tools to transcend this cause-effect approach and effectively embrace the nondeterministic, the openly defined, the blurred-boundary, the highly combinatorial if not infinite, and the adaptable. Systems engineers must design solutions to adapt to predictable and unpredictable change in order for the system to remain viable in the face of adversity (loss-driven) and relevant in the face of obsolescence (opportunity-driven).

Read MoreSystems engineers are potentially the best candidates for being or becoming good troubleshooters. The INCOSE Handbook identifies maintenance as a technical process. Within this framework fault identification or troubleshooting is included as a sub-activity. Troubleshooting is a form of problem-solving that requires experience and often special skills like forensic engineering. George has some great stories about using Systems Engineering while troubleshooting. [image from AB Electrical & Communications Ltd — https://www.abelectricians.com.au/ - used by permission]
