What IS a System?
 A system is a construct or collection of DIFFERENT
ELEMENTS that TOGETHER produce results NOT
OBTAINABLE by the ELEMENTS ALONE.
 The elements, or parts, can include PEOPLE,
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, FACILITIES, POLICIES,
and DOCUMENTS
 The RESULTS include SYSTEM Level qualities,
Properties, Characteristics, Functions, Behavior and
PERFORMANCE.
 The VALUE ADDED by the system as a whole,
beyond that contributed independently by the parts, is
primarily CREATED by the RELATIONSHIP AMONG
THE PARTS; that is, how they are interconnected

WHY Systems Engineering?
 Modern Heavily-Engineered Products
are Highly INTERDISCIPLINARY
 UNDERSTANDING and DESIGN of
Complex-Component INTERACTION is
AS IMPORTANT as the Components
themselves
 SOMEONE has to have a
View of the Product From the
CUSTOMER/USER Perspective

SysEngr Characteristics
 A TRUE Technical Position
• NOT a “Program MANAGER”
 Some Synonyms
• Project Engineer
• System Architect (my Favorite)
• Product Engineer
 The Primary TECHNICAL Contact for
• Customers
• Company Upper-Management

System Performance 
Design Rules
 USERS of Heavily Engineered systems
generally do not specify the detailed
performance requirements for the Hardware
& Software that comprise the system. Instead
the CUSTOMER (often another Engineer)
specifies PERFORMANCE criteria such as
ThruPut, OutPut Quality, DownTime, etc.
 System Engineers translate the CUSTOMER
PERFORMANCE Requirements into internal
HW/SW Design SPECIFICATIONS.

Why Earn the PE License?
 Do I NEED it?
• Civil Engineers → Absolutely REQUIRED
– 90+% of CE Work Must Be Approved by A
State-Licensed Civil/Structural Engineer
 CE is PRACTICE REGULATED by the State of Calif.
• EveryOne Else → NICE to Have
– 90-95% of Work in the Other Major Disciplines
Does NOT require licensure
 EE and ME are PARTIALLY Practice-Regulated
 Primarily Those who Work for the State, Cities, and Counties
 ALL Other Branches are NOT Practice-Regulated
 Thus NO Regulation-Driven Registration

If Not CE, Then Why PE?
 Licensure DISTINGUISHES you from
other Engineers
 CREDIBILITY when starting your own
business or consulting
 ONLY PE’s Can use
the Terms
• Professional Engineer
• Consulting Engineer
• Registered Engineer
CalPoly SLO –MATE481
53
Bruce Mayer, PE
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu • ChabotENGR-CalPolySLO_SystemEngr_0505.ppt
If Not CE, Then Why PE? (cont)
 For an engineer, becoming registered or
licensed is comparable to
• A Medical Doctor passing the
medical board examination
• An Lawyer passing the bar examination
• An Accountant becoming a CPA
 Thus, becoming a licensed engineer
grants you an enhanced status in the
eyes of the public, and equates you with
professionals licensed in other fields.

 Only LICENSED PROFESSIONALS are
allowed SIGN and SEAL Engineering
plans for the Public
 Licensure is a sign of COMMITMENT to
your PROFESSION
 The PE license Enhances your Potential

 Yields a Higher Level of Respect and

• CA uses FE and PE Exams Written by the
National Council of Examiners for
Engineering and Surveying (NCEES)
– Located in Clemson, SC
– Provides a great deal of information and testprep Materials

PE Q&A
 I want to Take the MetalE Exam, but I
need THREE Licensed References,
AND MetalE is small discipline that is
Not Heavily Registered. HOW can I get
the Required Refs?
• The PE Act Exempts from Licensed Refs
NonCivil Engineers Practicing in Industry
Plain Language Pamphlet http://www.dca.ca.gov/pels/e_plppe.htm
2: Q26. What constitutes a satisfactory reference in connection with an application?
In California, electrical and mechanical (and other Branches) engineering work performed by employees of the
Federal Government, and employees of manufacturing, mining, public utility, research and development, or other
industrial corporations is exempt, and thus, such employees may serve as references whether or not
they are licensed as long as they are qualified to appraise the technical competency of the applicant.

Process Performance  Design
Rules
 Users of CVD systems generally do not
specify the detailed performance
requirements for the Hardware & Software
that comprise the system. Instead the CVD
process engineer specifies film performance
criteria such as film-depth uniformity, or filmdoping uniformity.
 System Engineers translate the Process
Performance Specification into HW/SW
Design Specifications.
