Systems engineering

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles. At its core, sy
Systems engineering techniques are used in complex projects: printed-circuit-board design, robotics, bridge building, software integration, and spacecraft design. Systems engineering uses a host of tools that include modeling and simulation, requirements analysis, and scheduling to manage complexity.
The International Space Station is an example of a very complex system requiring systems engineering.

In systems engineering, software engineering, and computer science, a function model or functional model is a structured representation of the functions within the modeled system or subject area.
