Preface
Interdisciplinary interface engineering:
• A major engineering aspect for electrical discipline
• Requires appropriate coordination at appropriate time to avoid mishap during execution
stage
• Interface types
 Indirect interface – Deliverables exchanged as input or output without any squad check
 Direct interface – Deliverables going through squad check before furnished as official
input or output.
• Basis of Interface
 DCI – Document Control Index
 DDM – Document Distribution Matrix
 Vendor Documents requiring squad check
