Systems engineers create the architecture of the system, define the criteria for its evolution, and perform trade-off studies for optimization of the subsystem characteristics. According to these authors, the major growth of systems engineering is exp ected to be in the improvement of its tools and in the enlargement of the range of problems to which it is applied).[3]
