This vision is an evolution of the Systems Engineering Vision 2020 that was published in 2007, and the Systems Engineering Vision 2025 that was published in 2014. A special thanks goes to the many support team members that contributed directly to the content of the vision that include Guy Boy, Paul Clements, Hans Peter de Koning, Rick Dove, David Endler, Robert Karban, Charles Krueger, Tom McDermott, Paul Pearce, Troy Peterson, Art Pyster, and William Schindel, to Lisa Hoverman who provided technical editing support, to the review support teams that facilitated the preliminary and final review, and to the many stakeholder reviewers of this vision who provided valuable insights and comments. The Vision team would also like to thank JonesHaus for creating the web version of this vision.

The vision authors considered expert inputs including those from the vision reviews, many publications, and the collective experience of the vision team to determine the content of this vision. Time will tell the accuracy of the projected changes to systems engineering and the global context that it responds to. If this Vision 2035 can inspire engineers, policy makers, and other professionals anywhere to deeply reflect upon their own future paths and strategies, then we will have succeeded in our objectives for this Vision.
