Among them was Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic’s founder, […]
We often think of systems engineers and software developers as two separate roles. However, a relationship between the two is key. As the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge says, “Software engineering and systems engineering are not merely related disciplines; they are intimately intertwined.” Good software requires synergy between the systems engineering team and the software development team. Let’s look […]

Everyone is talking about “Model-Based Systems Engineering” or MBSE, but why are we modeling? What are we supposed to be getting out of these models? To answer these questions, we have to go back to basics and talk about what we are doing as systems engineers. We often say that the job of a systems […]
Engineering is about overcoming challenges. As society, technology, and human life have gotten more complex over time, so too have their challenges.
