Engineering Tomorrow's Systems Engineers Today

摘要

To date, the majority of engineers in UK industry have acquired theirrnqualifications and skills from a ‘traditional’ engineering education, and tend to specialise in arnparticular ‘branch’ or discipline of engineering or science.rnDeveloping the breadth as well as depth needed by Systems Engineers has traditionally onlyrnbeen achievable over a long period of time, especially in the Aerospace and Defence sectorrnwhere lifecycles of complex systems and platforms can be as long as 50 years.rnGiven the increased demand for reductions in ‘to-market’ times and the emphasis on wholernlife services, how can BAE SYSTEMS fast track the process needed to develop the breadth ofrnknowledge and experience to become a successful Systems Engineer in today’s rapidly changingrnDefence environment? Is it possible to convert large numbers of specialist engineers withrndifferent educational backgrounds and experience levels into useful Systems Engineers?
