Digital Engineering

This course covers the essentials of Digital Engineering, which is an advancement and evolution of proven Systems Engineering methods and frameworks.

Digital Engineering is the use and development of computer models that represent all aspects of a complex product or system. The modeling process creates digital data and digital linkages that can be leveraged to integrate the product/system design, development, delivery, and full lifecycle support into a better quality or system than that produced by a traditional Systems Engineering framework. Digital Engineering can also foster a more agile approach to the development of products and systems.

In 2018 the Department of Defense released its Digital Engineering Strategy:

“The strategy promotes the use of digital representations of systems and components and the use of digital artifacts to design and sustain national defense systems. The department’s five strategic goals for digital engineering are:

• Formalize the development, integration, and use of models to inform enterprise and program decision making
• Provide an enduring, authoritative source of truth
• Incorporate technological innovation to improve the engineering practice
• Establish a supporting infrastructure and environment to perform activities, collaborate and communicate across stakeholders
• Transform the culture and workforce to adopt and support digital engineering across the lifecycle”
