System Engineering Fundamentals

Quiz Questions:

   
1. System engineering is a logical sequence of activities and decisions that transforms an operational need into a description of system performance parameters and a preferred system configuration.
       
    True
    False
       
2. Three activities of Systems Engineering Management are represented in Figure 1-1.
       
    True
    False
       
3. They are how many primary life cycle functions?
       
   

Eight

   

Nine

   

Ten

       
4. Systems engineering is a standardized, disciplined management process for development of system solutions that provides a constant approach to system development in an environment of change and uncertainty.
       
   

True

   

False

       
5. Fundamental systems engineering activities are Requirements Analysis, Functional Analysis/ allocation, and Design Synthesis, all of which are balanced by System Analysis and Control.
       
   

True

   

False

       
6. Revised DoD 5000 Acquisition Process is represented in which figures
       
   

Figure 2-1

   

Figure 2-2

       
7. MIL-HDBK-881 is used by the program office to support the systems engineering process in developing the first three levels of the program WBS, and to provide contractors with guidance for lower level WBS development. As with most standards and handbooks, use of MIL-HDBK-881 cannot be specified as a contract requirement.
       
   

True

   

False

       
8. Configuration management is essential to control the system design throughout the life cycle.
       
   

True

   

False

       
9. The configuration baselines managed are:
       
   

Functional (System level)

   

Allocated (Design To)

   

Product (Build To/As Built)

   

All the three

       
10. Technical reviews assess development maturity, risk, and cost/schedule effectiveness to determine readiness to proceed.
       
   

True

   

False

       
11. Reviews must not be planned, managed, and followed up to be effective as an analysis and control tool.
       
   

True

   

False

       
12. Does the figure 12-1 represent the Trade study process?
       
   

Yes

   

No

       
13. The purpose of trade studies is to make better and more informed decisions in selecting best alternative solutions.
       
   

True

   

False
