CHAPTER 2

SUMMARY

 

Systems engineering is more important- and more valued- due to rising complexity, increased interconnectivity, and societal impacts.

Systems engineering has advanced the state of its competencies, practices, and foundations.

Systems engineering is not just for systems engineers- all engineers need to practice systems engineering.

The maturity of systems engineering practices varies across industry domains, organizations, and projects.

Systems engineering is addressing challenges in tool and data integration, the impact of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, and rising software complexity, agility, and scale.
