Enhancing Systems Engineering
Expanding Our Process to Meet Future Needs

Aerospace • Commercial • Defense • Enterprise • Service

This Mini-Conference will address the application and evolution of Systems Engineering to meet current and future needs for systematic development. These needs are present in not only the traditional aerospace and defense industries, but also in the commercial and service industries. It is an opportunity for practitioners in each industry to learn from the perspectives of each other.

Hot Breakfast Buffet, Lunch Buffet, and Conference Materials will be provided on the day of event!

Keynote Speaker: Joel Sercel, Ph.D., Caltech
