This worksheet will be graded with the Module Two Assignment Rubric.
1. Describe and define the principal outputs (products) of needs analysis. List and define the primary systems engineering activities that contribute to these products.
Your response:
2. Assume that you have a business in garden-care equipment and are planning to develop one or two models of lawn tractors to serve suburban homeowners. Consider the needs of the majority of such potential customers and write at least six requirements that express these needs. Remember the qualities of good requirements as you do so.
Your response:
3. Identify the basic steps in the system engineering process, and describe some of the inputs and outputs associated with each step (refer to Figure 2.1 in System Engineering Management).
Your response:
4. What is the purpose of feasibility analysis? What information is desired from such an analysis?
Your response:
5. Why is the definition of system operational requirements important? What is included?
Your response:
6. Identify a specific problem you wish to solve through the design and development of a new system. For your system:
a) Describe the current deficiency and identify the need for the new system.
b) Discuss the various alternative technical approaches you may wish to consider in designing the new system.
c) Define the basic operational requirements for the new system.
d) Define the maintenance concept for the new system.
