Getting Started with Systems Engineering and Requirements Management (Part 1)
Systems engineering (SE) can help improve product development, especially for today’s increasingly complex products that are really systems of hardware, software and connectivity. It is an interdisciplinary practice that helps ensure products meet all stakeholder requirements and can be delivered on time with high levels of quality.
Getting Started with Systems Engineering and Requirements Management (Part 2)
An SE or RM tool is an important part of a successful project; however, organizations often select a tool without a clear understanding of their SE process (or lack of one) and may have unreasonable expectations about what it can do. This scenario can also result in trying to shoehorn development to fit the tool, resulting in unnecessary work. Prior to choosing a tool, there are several aspects that need to be evaluated. The process leading up to tool selection and putting it to use will take time, so it’s important to plan accordingly.

Model Rocketry and the Newest Generation of System Engineers
As a kid growing up in Colorado, I spent a good portion of my summers playing outside. I enjoyed hiking around our home in the mountains with my dogs and my brother. I always liked making things with my hands, building models, and especially model rockets. Estes Industries was located in Penrose, Colorado, and I remember being so excited to receive their annual catalogue in the mail and start mail ordering those amazing rocket kits. It was so rewarding to build something that flew and could be recovered to be flown again and again.
Should You Make the Move to Model-Based Systems Engineering
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is getting touted as the next best thing and the newest methodology for lowering product development costs. A 6-year research project showed a 55% reduction in total development costs compared to projects not using MBSE.
Applying Defense in Depth Principles to Avionics
The concept of Defense in Depth involves applying a multifaceted approach to manage risk so that if one defensive layer fails, subsequent defensive layers will prevent a breach. Defense in Depth is commonly referred to as the “castle approach” because it reflects the layered defenses of a medieval castle. Attackers of a castle must overcome several obstacles before reaching the throne room: the moat, the gate, and even flaming arrows from a keep.
