Systems Engineering: Adapting to the Times
Systems engineering today is?an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.?
Systems engineering uses systems thinking principles to organize this body of knowledge.
Humans have faced increasingly complex challenges and have had to think systematically and holistically in order to produce successful responses to these challenges. From these responses, generalists have developed generic principles and practices for replicating success.
Some of these principles and practices have contributed to the evolution of systems engineering as a discipline.
Some of the earliest relevant challenges were in organizing cities. The Industrial Revolution brought another wave of challenges and responses. The Second World War presented challenges around the complexities of real-time command and control of extremely large multinational land, sea, and air forces and their associated logistics and intelligence functions. The postwar period brought the Cold War and Russian space achievements.
The rise of software as a critical element of systems led systems engineers into yet another era of systems engineering.
Essentially, systems engineering is a complex, multilayered field that continues to grow in importance across industries.?
Additionally, systems engineering is a multidisciplinary approach that allows for the realization of successful systems. In fact, systems engineering encompasses several areas of engineering expertise, including but not limited to:
