Systems Architecting is a very popular course in the Systems Engineering program that essentially outlines a process for managing complexity.
Systems architecting shows how a system fits in its surroundings, how it is to be used, and how the system is to be constructed. It is an interdisciplinary means to define the structure of an envisioned system by identifying the system parts or elements, and describing the interaction among the elements.

Requirements definitions are the key to success in the design and development of any complex system.
The systems engineer needs to carefully elicit requirements from users and stakeholders to ensure the product will meet their needs.
The following provides a checklist to guide the collection and documentation of good systems requirements. It has been derived and reproduced with permission from the Requirements Experts.

In every systems engineering course at Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals, risk is an important topic.
The development of a new complex system by its nature requires acquiring knowledge about advanced but not fully developed devices and processes so as to wisely guide the system design to a product that performs its intended mission reliably and at an affordable cost.
