Exercise: Put yourself in the position of an architect asked to help a client build a system of a new type whose general nature you understand (a house, a spacecraft, a nuclear power plant, or a system in your own field) but which must considerably out- perform an earlier version by a competitor. What do you expect to be the critical elements and details and in what disciplines or subsystems? What elements do you think you can safely leave to others? What do you need to learn the most about? Reminder: You will still be expected to be responsible for all aspects of the system design
