Happy New Year! We at the Liberty Chapter hope that all of you had a fun-filled holiday - filled with explanations to relatives of what system engineering actually is I'm sure. Well for this year, we are hoping to add to your exciting dinner talk with information in the form of a presentation by our own Liberty Chapter Vice President Professor Jon Wade. However, instead of speaking about what System Engineering is, he will be presenting about what will it be.

 

I'm sorry for the short notice, we had some logistical problems to work out. This upcoming event will be on Wednesday, January 23rd at the Stevens Institute (6:15pm) - see details below.

 

5:45pm - 6:15pm - Meet-and-Greet 

6:15pm - 6:30pm - Introduction: Adam Hulse, Pierre Botros

6:30pm - 8:00pm - Presentation: Jon Wade

8:00pm - 9:00pm - Q&A, Meet-and-Greet

 

For myself, I'm excited to see this presentation - when reestablishing this Chapter, Jon and I have had several conversations on this topic. As stated in the abstract: "Consideration for the system as an evolving enterprise must be a core part of systems engineering."  spoke volumes to me. I had the privilege recently to work on some Enterprise Architecture work for MTA Enterprise Asset Management program and I can see how System Engineering techniques within a Enterprise environment have to take into account a variety of non-system elements, such as funding schedule, program/project alignment, and human resource planning.

 

 

Speaker: Jon Wade

Abstract – We have entered an era of great system complexity, rapid technological change, growing resource stress, and evolving societal systems that are both enabled and impacted by advancing engineered systems.  Consideration for the system as an evolving enterprise must be a core part of systems engineering.  There is an increasing call from all systems stakeholders for foundational tools that reflect the human, organizational, and societal aspects of engineered systems.  In particular, the growing complexity of systems and their evolving, emerging behaviors require that systems engineers often need to take the role of systems scientists as well as engineers to ensure that both the system they are creating and the systems that are responsible for their creation are interconnected and aligned.  This talk will present a model for systems of the future, and the challenges and future directions for Systems Engineering that will be necessary to conceive, design and support them.
