Reimagining Systems Engineering

David Long Vitech Corporation Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Email: dlong@vitechcorp.com

Today’s challenges continue to grow in complexity, and the pace of change continues to accelerate. Traditional engineering disciplines are evolving to meet these challenges but struggle to do so successfully from within their silos. At the same time, systems engineering seeks to transform itself to model-based approaches, but far more is required. If systems engineering remains as it is today, we are on the short road to irrelevance. It’s time to move beyond the art of systems engineering and our traditional base of practice and engineer our place in meeting the grand challenges of the 21st century.
