The world of systems engineering is changing. In recent years, the whole field of systems engineering has been seen as no longer an emerging discipline but as a valid approach to realising successful systems. Systems engineering is a broad field that encompasses many disciplines, can be utilised in many industries and can be applied across many and varied life cycles.
