What is Ing. In Systems?

Systems engineering is a branch of engineering career and as such aims at training the student's creative spirit, innovative, ingenious engineering of the word here, is based on the exact sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) to give the Student tools and train them the ability to analytical nature (why?) and systematic (like solving?) for the resolution of problems of any kind, in the case of systems using technologies to solve the  

 In a nutshell....

Simply stated a systems engineer is a person who detects problems, analyzes, establishes the plan to fix and develop the right tool to meet the requirement to the solution of this problem in the field of technology ...

Some myths of Systems Engineering.

Every professional will have ever heard misconceptions about his profession and computer engineers are not the exception. Here are a few:

The systems engineer working with computers:

Although computers are today the main component of many computer systems, there are new devices that can not be considered computers but also play important roles in them: PDAs, network devices, scanners, printers autonomous.

But the reality is that systems can be designed without electronic components, while not very common. For example, many companies (especially SMEs) use billing systems based entirely on paper and still rely on accounting systems based on books unrelated to any electronic automation. The disadvantages of such systems, especially when the company grows, are obvious but not discarded or no longer functional.

The most common, even in designs made by professionals, is a mixture of electronic devices and traditional points of entry. For example, the control systems of a company can be managed on a computer, but the capture of data on employee attendance can be done in a conventional card, because the focus is information and handling processes it, not the nature of the channels and means used to obtain or carry from one place to another.

The systems engineer is a skilled programmer:

Programming is an important skill for the systems engineer and not only for him, really for all professionals, but depending on the field in which it unfolds, you may no longer perform the required or not. Surely there are professionals working for the design, evaluation, or for the construction of systems that only require integration of components, they do not need to be good programmers.

Nor is an indispensable skill (or required a high degree) to those who manage information technology or design and build data networks, to name a few examples.

Systems engineers know a lot of Windows:

Or Linux, or Mac OS ™, or any other commercial operating system. Usually usually true, but it is neither necessary nor essential but purely circumstantial.

Systems can be designed independently of the platform (operating system or hardware) that will be used, so the engineer does not necessarily need to know much about a particular system.
