Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary of engineering that focuses on how to design and manage complex engineering systems over their life cycles. Issues such as reliability, logistics, coordination of different teams, evaluation measurements, and other disciplines become more difficult when dealing with large or complex projects. Systems engineering deals with work‑processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools in such projects. It overlaps technical and human‑centered disciplines such as control engineering, industrial engineering, logistics engineering and project management.

Systems engineering ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered, and integrated into a whole.
