- Abstract
Requirement expression media is an overlooked consideration in requirements innovation. The path to including media other than natural language requirement sentences begins with determining the viability of media to be used as requirement expressions in systems engineering. This research uses the INCOSE characteristics for individual requirements and sets of requirements as a basis for an assessment of the sufficiency of model diagrams and engineering drawings to express requirements. A critical review of high-impact sources is used to develop characteristic lists for natural language requirement sentences and for model diagrams and engineering drawings. A comparative analysis of the characteristic lists for requirement sentences, model diagrams, and engineering drawings shows that each have the same fundamental characteristics and the differences are based on the ability of the media to represent abstraction. The contribution of this research is the establishment of model diagrams and engineering drawings as viable alternatives to natural language sentences for system engineering requirements expressions.
