3. DASD, Systems Engineering Mission
Systems Engineering focuses on engineering excellence − the creative application of scientific principles:
To design, develop, construct and operate complex systems
To forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions
To deliver their intended function while addressing economic efficiency, environmental stewardship and safety of life and property
DASD(SE) Mission: Develop and grow the Systems Engineering capability of the Department of Defense – through engineering policy, continuous engagement with component Systems Engineering organizations and through substantive technical engagement throughout the acquisition life cycle with major and selected acquisition programs.
A Robust Systems Engineering Capability Across the Department Requires Attention to Policy, People and Practice
US Department of Defense is the World’s Largest Engineering Organization
Over 108,000 Uniformed and Civilian Engineers
Over 39,000 in the Engineering (ENG) Acquisition Workforce

Manufacturing & Quality Highlights:
Program Engagement
This includes providing continues Manufacturing and Quality oversight and mentoring to MAIS and MDAPs.
Policy & Guidance
To include updates to the Defense Acquisition Guidebook Chapter 4 “Quality in Design”
Most recently we coordinated engagement in the publication of SAE AS6500 “Manufacturing Management Program.”
Technical Workforce Development:
We are just finishing a refresh of the Production, Quality, & Manufacturing (PQM) Career Field competencies. We do this every other year to ensure that our workforce is implementing the best practices being used throughout government and industry.
These competencies form the basis for collaboration with Defense Acquisition University (DAU) to ensure that our workforce is receiving the right training.
