Need for a Fresh Look at Systems Engineering |
Systems Engineering Research and Education at ISR Systems engineering activities complement (and support) those of the traditional engineering disciplines.
What's Systems Engineering? Our goals for Systems Engineering Research and Education at ISR are to formulate and provide formal (model-based) methodologies and tools for "liason among disciplines" and "systems analysis and trade-off." Why Systems Engineering is Important? Over the past fifteen years there have been several important reasons and developments that have rendered systems engineering educational programs and methods critical. They are:
