Systems Engineering - The Future of Engineering

Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems by defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle. In essence, systems engineers are responsible for the design and management of complex systems guided by systems requirements. There is a growing need for engineers who are concerned with the whole system and can take an interdisciplinary and top down approach. Systems engineers need to be problem definers, and not just problem solvers, and be involved with a system through its life cycle, from development through production, deployment, training, support, operation, and disposal.

The Demands for Systems Engineering is Increasing

Engineering is becoming more complex. Engineers who have interdisciplinary skills and can design and manage from large systems perspective have a distinct competitive advantage. Practicing engineers know the value of Systems Engineering. This is further highlighted by an increase in the number of companies worldwide that are requesting students with degrees in Systems Engineering, along with an increase in the number of programs now offering graduate degrees in Systems Engineering.
