Question 1

The model artefacts of a system should be considered ...

Incorrect
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
a. .. to be a temporarily useful representation of the system.
b. .. to be part of the system from the point of their (the model artefact's)
creation till the end of the system's life.
Check

Models should be considered an integral part of a system. This is even more true
for MBSE ( Model Based Systems Engineering).
The correct answer is: .. to be part of the system from the point of their (the model
artefact's) creation till the end of the system's life.

Question 2

Engineered Systems are composed of smaller systems.

Correct

Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

Engineered systems are part of a hierarchy and are inuenced by external factors
from larger systems of which they are a part and from sibling systems from which
they are composed.
The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 3

Design criteria are specied target values for TPMs.

b. false
Check

The correct answer is: true

Question 4

A baseline is the nal status of a work product.

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

A baseline is an agreed-upon set of specic versions of work products representing

a system in a specic status.
The correct answer is 'False'.

Question 5
Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

There is no limit on the number of paramters to track, the more parameters are
tracked, the better
Select one:
a. true
b. false
Check

Tracking parameters comes with a cost. Values for some parameters may be
expensive to determine. So parameters to track should be selected carefully.
The correct answer is: false

Question 6

A service may be the product of a single entity product system.

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

Yes. E.g. a hospital providing health care services together with its companion
systems may be considered a single-entity engineered system.
The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 7

According ot [Blanchard] Engineered Systems have functional purposes.

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

Engineered Systems have functional purposes in response to identied needs and

have the ability to achieve stated operational objectives.
The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 8

The product of a single-entity engineered system may satisfy a customer's needs.

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

Yes, but although the product subsystem (including structure or service) directly
meets the customers need, this need must be functionally decomposed and
allocated to the subsystems and components comprising the overall system.
The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 9
Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

According to [Blanchard] an Engineered System may, among other resources, also

be composed of people.
Select one:
True
False
Check

Yes, engineered systems are composed of a harmonized combination of resources,

such as facilities, equipment, materials, people, information, software, and money.
The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 10

Life cycle phases are a means to cut work into mor manageable pieces.

Correct

Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 11
Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Each decision regarding the, architecture, design or implementation of a system

restricts (decreases) the set of possible solutions.
Select one:
True
False
Check

The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 12
Correct
Marked out of 3.00
Flag question

The three questions asked at decision gates (key decision points) are:
Does the project deliverable still satisfy the business case
Is it aordable
?
Can it be delivered when needed
?

Check

Question 13
Correct

During decision gates MOEs are compaired against

Marked out of 1.00

Flag question

Select one:
a. design considerations
b. design criteria
c. technical performance measures
d. design independent parameters
Check

The correct answer is: design criteria

Question 14
Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Measures of eectiveness (MOE) can be used to compare dierent solutions with

regard to the system goal
Select one:
a. true
b. false
Check

The correct answer is: true

Question 15
Correct
Marked out of 2.00
Flag question

The two basic outcomes of a decision gate are

The results are acceptable
The results are such that the project has to reiterate work from the current
phase and be re-evalutated
Select one:
True
False
Check

False, the two basic outcomes are

The results may be either acceptable or
The results may be unacceptable
Reiteration is just one option if the results are unacceptable, the other is that the
project is unsalvageable.

The correct answer is 'False'.

Question 16

Check

Question 17

As a system evolves, the width of the solution space decreases in general.

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

Yes. While the solution space may sometimes also increase during the evolution of
a system (e.g. when switching from a well investigated solution variant to another,
only supercially considered solution variant), it decreases in general, converging
to the single point of the realized solution.
The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 18

All systems start with a need, i.e. the discovery of a problem or an opportunity

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

The correct answer is 'True'.

Question 19

Acceptance tests are executed during the verication phase.

Correct
Marked out of 1.00
Flag question

Select one:
True
False
Check

Verication is not a phase, verication is a process.

The correct answer is 'False'.
