The nature of systems engineering has changed in the last quarter century because of thernincreasing presence of software in systems. This paper describes the adaptations that systemsrnengineers should make to their skills and approaches in order to engineer software-intensivernsystems better, and the places where systems engineers need to reinforce what continues to bernuseful about traditional systems engineering. Systems engineers should continue to contributern“systems engineering specialist” skills, help the project manager coordinate multidisciplinaryrnactivities that ensure a well-engineered system, and continuously learn about software. Finally,rnthe systems engineer might need to advocate for good systems engineering.
