principles of Systems Engineering have been acknowledged enablers for design,development and validation of advanced technology products for over half a century1. In today'smarketplace, it is essentially impossible to cost-effectively design, deliver and support atechnology-based product without application of some principles of SE. In fact many, if notmost, development program failures and embarrassments trace to improper understanding orapplication of SE, particularly in early program phases as addressed in Figure 4. Yet, weobserve (admittedly anecdotally) that most traditional discipline engineers including aerospacegraduate with little understanding of even the most basic SE concepts much less theirapplication.
