1. Systems Thinking in Hardware Engineering

Systems thinking is essential in hardware engineering as it emphasizes viewing systems as interconnected wholes rather than isolated components. This approach aids engineers in addressing complex design issues, understanding component interactions, and optimizing overall system functionality and reliability. Tools and methods such as feedback loops, block diagrams, and failure mode analysis are vital in achieving successful system-level engineering outcomes.
