The Systems Engineering (SE) Modernization Lifecycle is still a work in progress, and the team will continue to iterate based on further research and engagement with the defense acquisition and SE communities.

Dr. Mesmer reviews the initial research that provides the groundwork to construct argumentation models based on the Toulmin’s theory and the steps to develop a practical tool for managing systems validation arguments.

The Capstone Marketplace is a resource for university educators seeking unique capstone design topics for their students. Participation in the CM is open to all U.S. universities with accredited engineering programs.

In addition to helping stand up the SERC in 2008, throughout his career Dr. Art Pyster has played leading technical, management, and executive roles in the sectors of education, telecommunications, aerospace, defense, air traffic control, and computing.

Practical Software and Systems Measurement (PSM) announces the release of the Digital Engineering (DE) Measurement Framework, jointly published by the SERC, PSM, INCOSE, NDIA, AIA and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)).

Led by Dr. Michael Orosz at USC/ISI, the SERC team is looking at how mission engineering approaches support the transition from “traditional” waterfall acquisition to a more agile approach that utilizes DevSecOps processes.

SERC Updates provides a bi-monthly highlight of research projects from across the SERC network of collaborators, recent news from the SERC community, links to popular events such as the SERC Talks, reading lists, job opportunities and much more.

The SERC is pleased to welcome three new members of the Research Council: Amanda Girth, Larry Head and Steven Schooner. These members are subject matter experts in their respective areas of research and their guidance will lead to further interdisciplinary advances...

Workforce trends will demand employees to have the competencies to collaborate effectively in the digital environment, and for employers to understand and respond to the factors that influence employee satisfaction.

SERC research at USC focused on building a digital testbed to support the adoption and implementation of MBSE as aligned with DoD strategy. The objective was to provide a holistic environment that supports the full lifecycle of an engineered system.

The Cyber Resilient Weapon Systems Body of Knowledge provides resources to protect system elements through cyber resilient engineering organized under topic areas that include technology, data and information, mission and system function.

Learn more about the Ecology-Inspired Techniques for Resilient Design of Systems of Systems (SoS) research project which set out to determine if a biological ecosystem-inspired approach to the evaluation of engineered systems could identify optimally resilient designs.
