After one year of systems engineering at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), the project baseline of costs, schedule milestones, and top-level (point design) physics parameters has been accepted by the Department of Energy (DOE). This paper describes the role of systems engineering in developing the baseline and in establishing requirements specifications, change control, and methods of tracking to a baseline. The differences between the Department of Defense and DOE--specifically at the SSC Laboratory (SSCL)--in application of systems engineering disciplines and tools are discussed. The aim of the paper is to inform participating industries of the anticipated requirements format and of the emphasis that will be placed on physics requirements as opposed to procedures. Industry subcontractors should have a better understanding of the systems engineering expected by the SSCL.
