Part of the book series: Powertrain ((POWERTRAIN))

Abstract

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach for the successful development of complex mechatronic products and cyber-physical systems. It is based on a set of fundamental principles and best practices. Although systems engineering has a wide scope and interpretation, it is always understood to be a structured and connected way of thinking and working. Systems such as electrified powertrains will always be characterized by ever-increasing complexity caused by the growing number of functions to be employed in order to cover trends such as autonomous driving and cybersecurity, and to comply with legislation. This growing number of functions results in a corresponding increase in integration effort. This chapter focuses on methodical aspects to cope with this challenge and enable a structured system development approach. Four structuring principles and so-called systems engineering core development methods, are described, starting with the method for requirements engineering, continuing with system specification, system integration, and finally system verification and validation. This chapter shows how systems engineering principles are applied within the field of powertrain system development.
