systems engineering

subject fact

systems engineering has definition A type of design that involves deciding which requirements should be implemented using hardware, and which using software 2001-08-30 14:57:52.0
is normally only necessary for embedded and other real-time systems
is a subtopic of 1.7 - Activities Common to Software Projects
is part of design
is a kind of engineering

engineering has economic constraints
resources are finite
it is not worth doing something unless the benefit gained from it outweighs its cost, and
if somebody else can perform some particular task more cheaply or faster than us, they will succeed instead of us
