I semestre The System Engineering System Engineering this emerged before World War II (WWII) military-industrialacademic complex that was embroiled in an accelerating weapons race with the former Soviet Union. Systems engineering emerged as a discipline to see the increasing complexity of new products and systems .The term systems engineering is generic, it describes the application of engineering to design complex systems, the term system to the systems engineer is a set of parts to a function. From 1950 to 1957 The U.S. Air Force Assistant Secretary for Research and Development (R & D), Trevor Gardner, ICBM hired to develop a complex system and more advanced than ever before. But this project did not work very well as later was hired scientists and engineers from the Ramo-Wooldridge company with experience in electronic systems, they were hired to lead the Atlas project, this project was one of the largest with 18000 scientists, engineers and technicians, and 70000 people in 22 industries participating in the program, plus 17 contractors, 200 subcontractors and more than 500 military officers. His team helped establish the systems engineering as a discipline through the creation of this organization dedicated to programming and coordinating follow the actions of contractors R & D, testing, integration, assembly and operations. The systems engineering approach was driven by a busy schedule which requires the simultaneous development of subsystems, manufacturing and control facilities, command and training mechanisms. To do this effectively requires some management tools to ensure the success of these activities and dependent simultaneous update. the lack of this upgrade would lead to some "deficiencies occurring. " Through The trial and error method, the team developed quantitative tools and methodologies which served as the basis for trade studies and making decisions that now populate the field of systems engineering. Based on the success of Atlas, academics and social scientists of the 1960 streamlining program best practices military-industrial-academic and led to articles, books, and finally to university and professional courses on the subject.

Systems Engineer At the time that compares a systems engineer with a doctor gives us to understand you need someone to listen and help in our case a customer, based on the systems engineer and in his studies obtained .The systems engineer at the time of creation does not work when Creating alone But will work with user requirements That Are the basis and Limitations of a whole system. Apparently a systems engineer can not alone work, Always Have To Be working with a user requirements. The future of the field Fields where it expands the systems engineering has become a collection of best practices in managing systems development projects that currently are in educational establishments as a signature. It has expanded the engineering of systems is becoming increasingly complex. Has been created in the information age, therefore the systems engineering field expands throughout action.
