You may have heard the phrase “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. At Specter, this saying is more than just an idea: it is our design philosophy.

After managing the development of two electric racecars over the past two years, I have noticed that the number of students who graduate with solid understanding of the system engineering design process is far and few between. This process is at the core of every engineering project and ultimately drives development forward. All engineers should know how the system design process works, not just project managers.
