its essence is seeing inter relationships rather than linear cause and effect

problem definition: articulation of the problem by the engineer
choice of objectives: expression of what is desired
systems synthesis - written creation of possible alternative systems
systems analysis -
analysis of hypothetical systems in light of the objectives
system selection - of the winning hypothetical system
system development - further work on the system
current engineering - realisation in practice of current system

  • natural or biological
  • designed physical systems eg. Railway Building etc...
  • designed abstract systems eg mathematical equation 
  • human activity systems eg NHS
