In the multidisciplinary process of problem solving in engineering, Systems Engineering is seen as a unifying discipline. Drawing on contemporary scholarship and best practice, the philosophy, concepts, techniques and tools of the systems engineering process are examined in the context of engineering management, and their domain of applicability explored. The subject provides extensive opportunity for individual and group encounter with the challenges of the systems approach, and is illustrated by case studies presented by guest lecturers.
