© 2008 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Essential Points 1.Engineering Systems is not renaming or replacing Systems Engineering! 2.Engineering Systems is a field of academic study – not a practice, profession, or process. 3.Engineering Systems is not equivalent in scope to Systems Engineering 4.Evolving the field of ES can have a positive impact on evolving SE – as a field and practice

© 2008 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Classical systems engineering principles and practices need to be adapted and expanded to fully support engineering of highly complex systems What SE principles and practices are too limited at present to effectively deal with large-scale complex systems with socio-technical interfaces? How can these be adapted and expanded with contributions from of the field of Engineering Systems? What lifecycles, practices and methods, when harmonized or adapted, can result in an emergent approach that can better serve the needs of the entire engineered system?

© 2008 Massachusetts Institute of Technology How can the varied definitions and views of Systems Engineering converge within the context of Engineering Systems? Is there a common taxonomy that will serve the needs of Engineering Systems and Systems Engineering? What other sub-fields of Engineering Systems are highly interrelated to Systems Engineering, and what research is needed to explore convergence or cooperation of these sub-fields? ES and SE are both evolving fields… it is critical that they evolve synergistically and not as decoupled fields
