Although digital engineering has been around for years, its use within the Pentagon has been limited. The T-7A Red Hawk is one of only a handful of programs described as “radically digital." (Boeing) ...

Digital engineering and modeling and simulation (M&S) are transformative approaches that enable precision, efficiency and ...

As heterogenous integration increases design complexity and forces engineers out of long-standing silos, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is becoming essential for improving quality and reducing ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

AI agents can handle physics-based modeling complexity while engineers focus on design judgment and tradeoffs.

How model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has improved system design. Thermal design and MBE come together. When considering systems-level design, it’s important to understand the criticality of the ...

Complexity in hardware design is spilling over to other disciplines, including software, manufacturing, and new materials, creating issues for how to model more data at multiple abstraction levels.

With the advent of AI, the industry has moved from writing code from scratch to AI-assisted or “vibe” coding, and is now transitioning toward fully agentic engineering ...

To design an effective software engineering organization that delivers business value, software engineering leaders should begin by understanding the IT operating model (ITOM) targeted by their CIO.
