A system context diagram in engineering is a diagram that defines the boundary between the system, or part of a system, and its environment, showing the entities that interact with it. This diagram is a high level view of a system. It is similar to a block diagram.
System context diagrams show a system, as a whole and its inputs and outputs from/to external factors. According to Kossiakoff and Sweet (2011):
System Context Diagrams ... represent all external entities that may interact with a system ... Such a diagram pictures the system at the center, with no details of its interior structure, surrounded by all its interacting systems, environments and activities. The objective of the system context diagram is to focus attention on external factors and events that should be considered in developing a complete set of systems requirements and constraints.
System context diagrams are used early in a project to get agreement on the scope under investigation. Context diagrams are typically included in a requirements document. These diagrams must be read by all project stakeholders and thus should be written in plain language, so the stakeholders can understand items within the document.
Context diagrams can be developed with the use of two types of building blocks:
Entities (Actors): labeled boxes; one in the center representing the system, and around it multiple boxes for each external actor
Relationships: labeled lines between the entities and system
For example, "customer places order." Context diagrams can also use many different drawing types to represent external entities. They can use ovals, stick figures, pictures, clip art or any other representation to convey meaning. Decision trees and data storage are represented in system flow diagrams.
A context diagram can also list the classifications of the external entities as one of a set of simple categories (Examples:), which add clarity to the level of involvement of the entity with regards to the system.

thumb|240px|Diagramme circulaire ou « camembert » Un diagramme est une représentation visuelle simplifiée et structurée des concepts, des idées, des constructions, des relations, des données statistiques, de l'anatomie employé dans tous les aspects des activités humaines pour visualiser et éclaircir la matière. Un diagramme permet aussi de décrire des phénomènes, de mettre en évidence des corrélations en certains facteurs ou de représenter des parties d’un ensemble, au moyen de tracés qui prennent le plus souvent la forme de figures géométriques.
