This note is intended to clarify a quote that was included in the September Newsletter and provide a brief update on the program. I had the opportunity to “build on the shoulders of giants” when I took the reins of USC’s Systems Architecting and Engineering (SAE) Program. Dr. Eberhardt Rechtin created this unique program starting in 1988 following his retirement as CEO of The Aerospace Corporation. From 1994 through 2003 Dr. Elliot Axelband led the program and was the lead person in creating the unique arrangement with Boeing that we share with Missouri University of Science and Technology. This was a major step in establishing the program as a national leader in our field. I followed Elliot as director from 2003 until this summer. We were able to continue to build on the foundation laid by Drs. Rechtin and Axelband during these years. We are excited to have Dr. Azad Madni joining us as the director starting this fall. It is my hope that he will accelerate our efforts to a yet higher plain. I remain as the co-director to help attain that vision. Dr. Stan Settles, IBM Chair Professor, Associate Chair and SAE Program Director, University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering and INCOSE Fellow.
