electrical wiring plans
Pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the power and signal connections between the devices. It gives information about the relative position and arrangement of devices and terminals on the devices, to help in building or servicing the device. A wiring diagram is often used to troubleshoot problems and to make sure that all the connections have been made and that everything is present.
electricity
The principles of electricity and electrical power circuits, as well as the associated risks.
model based system engineering
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is a methodology for systems engineering that uses visual modelling as the primary means of communicating information. It is focused on creating and exploiting domain models as the primary means of information exchange between engineers and engineering technicians, rather than on document-based information exchange. Therefore, it eliminates the communication of unnecessary information by relying on abstract models that retain only the relevant data.
