1. Systems engineering (is):
a) an interdisciplinary approach
b) a means to enable the realization of successful systems
c) defines customer needs, required functionality, and requirements
d) considers both the business and the technical needs of all customers
e) provides a quality product that meets the user needs
f) considers both the business and the technical needs of all stakeholders.
2. A system engineering plan should:
a) Structure information and describe the proposed system engineering effort
b) Contain adaptation processes, activities and strategies
c) Define the life-cycle stages
d) Describe the management of the project
e) Adapt the systems engineering process.
3. Many engineering processes exist in textbooks and industry or international standards. In practice, these processes are rarely recognized consistently and literally; typically, the engineering process is customized, if not completely reworked, based on the circumstances and requirements of individual projects. This is referred to as tailoring. Tailoring (is):
a) a manner in which any selected issue is addressed in a particular project
b) a way the organization seeks to minimize the time and efforts it takes to satisfy a need
c) consistent with common sense and sound business management practice
d) sensitive to the nature of the project requirements
e) may be applied to various aspects of the project, including project documentation.
4. The appropriate degree of formality in the execution of any SE process activity should be determined by the following four (4):
a) The need for communication of what is being done (across members of a project team, across organizations, or over time to support future activities)
b) The level of uncertainty
c) Degree of team cohesion
d) The degree of complexity
e) The consequences to human well-being.
5. The value of SE is apparent because the following effects are apparent:
a) Cost overrun lessens with the addition of some SE effort
b) Variance in the cost overrun also lessens with increasing SE effort
c) Variance of project schedules assumes a normal distribution.
6. Every system life cycle consists of the following:
a) Business aspect
b) Budget aspect
c) Feasibility aspect
d) Technical aspect (product).
7. The primary objectives of decision gates are to:
a) Ensure that the elaboration of the business and technical baselines is acceptable and will lead to satisfactory validation and verification (V&V)
b) Ensure that the next step is achievable and the risk of proceeding is acceptable
c) Continue to foster buyer and seller teamwork
d) Verify synergy levels throughout the project teams
e) Synchronize project activities.
8. What are considered the most important decision gates in any project:
a) Authority to proceed
b) Go or No-Go
c) Final acceptance of the project deliverable
