Introduction
Systems engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design,
implementation and maintenance of computer systems. Systems engineers work in
all stages of the software life cycle, from requirements analysis to maintenance of
the system once it has been put into operation.
Many people think that systems engineers work with computers, and while it is true
that they are involved in the design, installation and maintenance of computer
systems, their work goes far beyond that. Systems engineers are responsible for
analyzing and understanding how complex systems work, whether physical or
virtual. This enables them to design effective solutions to improve the performance
of those systems.
To carry out their work, systems engineers use a variety of mathematical and
analytical tools. They must also have a good understanding of existing technology
and future trends in the field. This allows them not only to better understand the
problems faced by customers, but also to anticipate market needs. Systems
engineers can play a variety of roles in different industries. Some work directly for IT
companies, where they help design and implement technology solutions to improve
business performance. Others work as independent consultants, offering their
services to several companies at once. There are also those who choose to start
their own IT business or engage in personal software development.
Systems engineering in the United Kingdom has made a significant mark in
numerous fields, noted for its innovation, precision and adaptability. From the
development of transportation infrastructure to the revolution in information
technology, the UK's contributions in systems engineering have been widely
recognized worldwide. In this introduction, we will explore some of the key areas
where the UK has made a distinctive mark, highlighting its role as a leader in creating
and applying ingenious solutions to complex challenges.
Five inventions in systems engineering made by the United Kingdom (ITS)

The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW) is a worldwide network consisting of a
complex system of interconnected hypertexts and hypermedia that can be accessed
through an Internet connection and a set of specialized software.
The software needed to visit the WWW is a browser or explorer, such as Internet
Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc., which represents each web page
visited in a series of windows equipped with text and multimedia.
The latter usually require an html address (HyperText Markup Language, or
hypertext markup language) that starts with the acronym www. The World Wide Web,
commonly referred to as "the Web" or "the Net", was developed between 1889 and
1990 by scientists at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in
Geneva, Switzerland, and published in 1993. Since then, this new virtual space has
grown and multiplied to become the primary means of consulting digital information
and telecommunications in the contemporary world.
Characteristics of the World Wide Web
The Web is a dimension of information exchange and telecommunications that is
multimedia, interactive and at a distance, in which human knowledge, attitudes and
behaviors are largely reflected.
Statistically, it was estimated in 2002 that out of 2,024 million existing web pages,
56.4% were in English, compared to 7.7% in German, 5.6% in French and 4.95% in
Japanese, followed by 4% in Spanish.
Many accuse this predominance of the Anglo language of serving as a mechanism
for imposing (American) language and culture on the rest of the world, thus operating
as an imperialist agent at the heart of computer globalization.
However, other studies point to the trend towards the constitution of a 2.0 culture,
that is, a digital media culture that transcends the traditional limits imposed by
borders and cultures.
The emergence of the Web changed the world forever. It enabled new and diverse
forms of remote access to information, thus changing the way we do research and
overcoming enormous distances to enable communication.
The sending of confidential information, the promotion and even sale of products,
the incorporation of the user into social communities (social networks) and
entertainment, in short, a gigantic variety of activities are available to human beings
today thanks to this new computer space.
Radar
The inventor of radar is the Scotsman Robert Alexander Watson-Watt (1892 - 1973)
in 1935. Watson-Watt was superintendent of the Radio Research Laboratory in
Great Britain. He was asked by the newly created Committee for the Scientific
Examination of Air Defense whether radio could be used as a "death ray" to destroy
enemy aircraft.
The answer came on February 12, 1935 in the form of a Watson-Watt memo.
Although the amount of energy required would make it impossible, it was possible to
"detect" the planes by bouncing radio waves off them and measuring the response
time. In this way both direction and distance would be calculated. Therefore the
answers to the following questions are:
Who is the inventor of radar: Robert Alexander Watson-Watt.
• When radar was invented: February 12, 1935. The patent was filed on
September 17, 1935 and published as GB 593017.
• Where radar was invented: Teddington, Middlesex, England. For the National
Physical Laboratory
Radar origin

The patent you can see in the image above is for the first working model. In fact, the
Germans were ahead of the British work, and Heinrich Rudolph Künhold of the
German Navy began work on it in 1933, conducting an experiment in Kiel Bay on
March 20, 1934, with ships instead of airplanes.

However, they did not adopt pulse transmissions to calculate range until September
1935, when the British had already discovered a few months earlier that they were
of vital importance.

The British conducted a test on February 26, 1935 during which a Heyford bomber
flew at about 2,000 meters near a relay station at Daventry. It was identified at 13
kilometers on a cathode ray oscilloscope display in the back of a van. This
experiment used only readily available materials.

Radar evolution

purpose-built installation was then constructed on the Orford Ness coast in Suffolk,
and it was discovered that aircraft could be detected by radar at a distance of up to
64 kilometers. In December 1935 the government decided to build five stations to
cover the approach to London by the Thames Estuary. Others were added and by
early 1939 there were 20 stations operating from the Isle of Wight to Dundee.
 The Germans had a similar network along the North Sea coast. Although the
stations were all large and the facilities obvious, neither country was aware of the
other's work. The name "radar" was coined by the Americans in 1940 for "radio
detection and ranging," and was officially adopted by the British in 1943 to replace
the earlier RDF, Radio Detection and Finding.
The radar was vital in defending against bomber attacks during the Battle of Britain
in 1940, as it meant that the relatively small Royal Air Force could direct its fighters
to the most strategic locations. Watson-Watt was knighted in 1942, but the patent
was not published until 1947 for security reasons. He died in Inverness, Scotland, in
1999.
The analytical machine

Babbage's analytical machine was a programmable computer, with a memory for

storing data and an input and output system. The machine used punched cards to
store programs and data, and could perform complex calculations automatically.

Although he never built a complete analytical machine, Babbage left an important

legacy in the theory of computation. In his work "On the Economy of Machines and
Manufactures", published in 1832, Babbage laid the foundations of the theory of
programming and computation, developing concepts such as the "universal
machine", which would be able to perform any type of calculation.

But what makes the Analytical Machine completely different from all machines
designed up to that time is - of course - its ability to alter the inner workings based
on the dictates of a program. This "programming language" allowed for loops (like
the modern While-End or For-Next) and decisions (in the style of If-Then). Babbage
had envisaged the use of three different kinds of punched cards: one for arithmetic
operations, one for entering numerical constants, and one for operations using data
memory. The Analytical Engine had three different readers, one for each type of
card.

Legacy and recognition

Although he never built a complete analytical machine, Babbage's work laid the
foundations of modern computing. In recognition of his legacy, the British Computer
Society created the "Charles Babbage Medal" in 1971, honoring his contribution to
computer science.

In addition, Babbage is remembered for his contribution to the theory of computation

and for being one of the pioneers of programming. His legacy has been recognized
by great computer scientists such as Alan Turing, who was inspired by Babbage's
analytical machine to design his own Turing machine, considered the theoretical
model of any modern digital computer.

Charles Babbage's most important contribution to modern computing was the idea
of the analytical machine, the first attempt to build a programmable computer
capable of performing any kind of calculation. Charles Babbage was never able to
complete the analytical machine due to funding problems and the complexity of the
project

The colossus
It was 1944 when the Colossus, the world's first programmable computer, a machine
designed to decipher messages sent between Hitler and his generals, was put into
operation in a laboratory in Bletchley Park, United Kingdom, which is now 75 years
old.
In a period of maximum social conflict, the project carried out at Bletchey was of vital
importance to bring the war to an end. The workers who participated in this mission
were, for decades, sworn to secrecy and most were not even aware of its
importance.
These Colossus computers were the first electronic calculating devices used by the
British to read German encrypted communications during World War II.
It was originally designed by Tommy Flowers at the Post Office Research Station,
Dollis Hill, and the first prototype, Colossus Mark I, went into operation at Bletchley
Park in February 1944. A few months later, in June of the same year, an improved
version, the Colossus Mark II, arrived, of which about ten were built by the end of
the war.
The function of these machines was to decrypt encrypted messages, which were
intercepted from Nazi Germany's communications, using the Lorenz SZ40/42
machine. Colossus compared two data streams, counting each match based on a
programmable Boolean function. The encrypted message was read at high speed
over a paper tape. The other data stream was generated internally, and was an
electronic simulation of the Lorenz machine in various combinations. If the number
of matches for a combination was above a certain amount, the output was written on
an electric typewriter. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Colossus,
former workers gathered at the National Museum of Computing where there is a
working reconstruction of the machine.
Margaret Bullen one of the Colossus project workers was 17 years old when she
started working at Bletchley Park. "The first thing we did was sign the Official Secrets
Act. I don't think my parents knew what I did. They knew I was at Bletchley doing
war work, I could have been making bombs for all they knew," she told the BBC at
the anniversary ceremony.

Boolean Logic

Boolean algebra, or Boolean algebra, is an algebraic structure that schematizes

logical operations, and is present in all of today's software: from the code of mobile
applications to the video games we play.

This theory has made possible the birth of the digital revolution, after the American
Claude Shannon applied Boolean logic to build electrical circuits in 1930, which led
to the construction of modern computers.

Most electronic circuits, and computer systems in general, have their origin in a logic
function. But this can be quite long and complex. That is why George Boole (1815-
1864) devised a method to simplify this logic function as much as possible, through
certain basic rules or properties. Perhaps this system finds today one of its greatest
exponents in Internet search engines such as Google, which today recognizes
Boole's merit with a doodle commemorating the 200th anniversary of his birth

In the middle of the 19th century, Boole developed in his book "An Investigation of
the Laws of Thought" (1854), the idea that logical propositions could be treated by
means of mathematical tools. These logical propositions could take only two values
of the True/False or Yes/No type. These bivalent and opposite values could be
represented by one-digit binary numbers (bits), so that Boolean algebra can be
understood as the algebra of the binary system.
He himself summarized his work in this sentence: "The respective interpretations of
the symbols 0 and 1 in the system of logic are Nothing and Universe". It could be
interpreted as a foretaste of his transcendence. However, contrary to what one might
think, Boolean algebra did not seem to have any practical application at first, and
only a rather abstract sense was found for it in the field of mathematical logic.

It was seventy years after his death, in 1938, that the American electronics engineer
and mathematician Claude E. Shannon (1916 - 2001) found in Boole's work a basis
for real-world mechanisms and processes, demonstrating how Boolean algebra
could optimize the design of electromechanical relay systems, then used in
telephone routing switches.

In addition to Shannon, the Russian Victor Shestakov (1907-1987) proposed a

theory of electrical switches based on Boolean logic in 1935, although less well
known at first: it was published years later, in 1941 and in Russian. In this way,
Boolean algebra became the foundation for the practice of digital circuit design, and
George Boole (through Shannon and Shestakov) became the architect who laid the
theoretical foundation for the digital revolution.
Five inventions in systems engineering made by the United Kingdom (IMTC)

ReWalk Robotics: The ReWalk Restore™ is the first wearable ankle robot developed
for post-stroke gait training in clinical rehabilitation. It is used by therapists for both
overground walking and treadmill therapies. It provides robotic assistance to the
ankle to improve walking for individuals with lower limb disability due to a stroke.

How it Works

Battery-powered

The Restore system includes a soft exo-suit with a waist pack having motors that
generate mechanical forces through cables attached to points on a calf wrap and an
insole placed in the patient’s shoe. The waist pack integrates with a control unit and
features a support handle for therapists to provide additional support to patients.

Cables are located anterior and posterior to the ankle. Retraction of the anterior
cable lifts the foot and helps in dorsiflexion (lifting of the foot upwards) for ground
clearance while retraction of the posterior cable pulls up the patients heel to assist
the plantarflexion (movement when foot pushes downward) to propel the body
forward. Sensors clipped to the patient’s shoes measure gait and synchronized
timing of the plantarflexion and dorsiflexion assistance in walking.

Patient Benefits

The ReStore assists in the propulsion and ground clearance of post-stroke walking
to help people with stroke walk more normally. As a smart device, it reacts to patient
speed and step length. With walking practice using the ReStore, patients can re-
learn how to move their ankles on their own during walking, allowing them to walk
faster and more naturally, while expending less energy.
Da Vinci Surgical System

The da Vinci system translates your surgeon’s hand movements at the console in
real time, bending and rotating the instruments while performing the procedure. The
tiny wristed instruments move like a human hand, but with a greater range of motion.
The da Vinci vision system also delivers highly magnified, 3D high-definition views
of the surgical area. The instrument size makes it possible for surgeons to operate
through one or a few small incisions.

Shadow Robot Company’s Dexterous

The Shadow Dexterous Hand is the most advanced 5-

fingered robotic hand in the world.

Offering unprecedented accuracy, The Hand can

manipulate tools and objects with greater precision than
ever before. Our technology opens up new avenues for
research in robotics and artificial intelligence, and
enables the refinement of existing technologies.

Containing 20 motors, the Hand is tendon driven, allowing

adduct and abduct movement with 24 degrees of
freedom, it has over 100 sensors running at up to 1KHz,
giving you insight and accurate data points to support
your research, it is fully ROS integrated, for use as a
research and development tool and as testing hardware
for AI and Machine Learning.

Used with our Shadow Glove and Teleoperation System, the Hand offers intuitive
control and unparalleled precision in remote or hazardous environments.
Cyberknife Radiosurgery

The CyberKnife System is a non-invasive treatment for cancerous and non-

cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is indicated. It is
used to treat conditions throughout the body, including the prostate, lung, brain,
spine, head and neck, liver, pancreas and kidney, and can be an alternative to
surgery or for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors.
CyberKnife treatments are typically performed in 1 to 5 sessions. The CyberKnife
System has more than two decades of clinical proof and has helped thousands of
cancer patients.

The CyberKnife System is the only radiation delivery system that features a linear
accelerator (linac) directly mounted on a robot to deliver the high-energy x-rays or
photons used in radiation therapy. The robot moves and bends around the patient,
to deliver radiation doses from potentially thousands of unique beam angles,
significantly expanding the possible
positions to concentrate radiation to the
tumor while minimizing dose to
surrounding healthy tissue. This robotic
delivery and real-time image guidance
have set the standard for delivery
precision and enable stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic
body radiation therapy (SBRT)
treatments for the full range of tumor
types.

Oxford’s University RobotCar

RobotCar is a modified Nissan LEAF. Lasers and cameras are subtly mounted
around the vehicle and taking up some of the boot space is a computer which
performs all the calculations necessary to plan, control speed and avoid obstacles.
Externally it’s hard to tell this car apart from any other on the road.

Its base Nissan LEAF system has been modified to allow complete fly-by-wire
control. Everything from the steering to the indicators can be manipulated by the
main vehicle computer in the boot. RobotCar senses the world in two main ways.
The first uses a pair of stereo cameras to assess the road and navigate, much like
a human driver’s eyes. The second is a little different and uses several lasers
mounted around the vehicle. These sensors assess the 3D structure of the world
and also improve performance at night.

addresses the global challenge of transitioning to sustainable energy sources while
mitigating climate change. These technologies harness naturally replenished resources
such as sunlight, wind, water, and biomass to generate clean and renewable electricity.
Some examples of renewable energy technologies include:

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems: Solar PV systems convert sunlight directly into electricity
using photovoltaic cells made of semiconductor materials. These systems can be deployed
on rooftops, solar farms, and even integrated into building materials like solar shingles. Solar
PV technology has experienced significant advancements, leading to higher efficiency and
lower costs, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources worldwide.

Wind Turbines: Wind turbines harness the kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity. They
consist of large rotor blades connected to a generator that converts the rotational motion of
the blades into electrical power. Onshore and offshore wind farms utilize arrays of wind
turbines to generate large-scale electricity. Advances in wind turbine design, such as larger
rotor diameters and taller towers, have increased energy output and reduced the cost of
wind energy production.

Hydroelectric Power: Hydroelectric power utilizes the gravitational force of flowing water to
generate electricity. Large-scale hydroelectric dams capture the energy of river water to turn
turbines connected to generators. Small-scale run-of-river hydroelectric systems and micro-
hydro turbines can also be deployed in remote locations to provide decentralized power
generation.

Biomass Energy: Biomass energy involves the conversion of organic materials such as
wood, agricultural residues, and organic waste into heat, electricity, or biofuels. Biomass can
be burned directly for heat and power generation or processed into biofuels like ethanol and
biodiesel for transportation. Advanced bioenergy technologies, including bio-refineries and
anaerobic digesters, e nable the efficient conversion of biomass into energy products.

Geothermal Power: Geothermal power utilizes heat from the Earth's interior to generate
electricity and provide heating and cooling. Geothermal power plants extract hot water or
steam from underground reservoirs to drive turbines connected to generators. Direct-use
geothermal systems utilize the heat directly for heating buildings, greenhouses, and
industrial processes.

Renewable energy technologies represent a crucial engineering innovation that offers

numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas
emissions, energy security, job creation, and rural development. Continued research and
development efforts in renewable energy are essential to further advance these
technologies and accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future.
4.- Quality Management Systems
