Standing up and sustaining a digital engineering environment for systems engineers

Tuesday, May 27 from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Overview

In today’s increasingly complex engineering landscapes, the traditional document-centric approach to systems development is no longer sufficient to keep pace with stakeholder demands, system complexity, and rapid iteration cycles. Digital Engineering (DE) offers a transformational approach — integrating models, data, and digital artifacts across the system lifecycle to enable better decision-making, increased traceability, and improved collaboration.  However, standing up a Digital Engineering environment is not simply a matter of acquiring new tools or technology. It demands a fundamental shift in culture, processes, governance, and workforce skills. Sustaining that environment over time requires strategic planning, strong leadership, continuous capability development, and alignment with evolving organizational and program needs. Many organizations struggle not just with initial implementation, but with the ongoing operationalization and value realization of their DE initiatives.  For systems engineers, who are often at the nexus of technical, programmatic, and stakeholder concerns, understanding how to stand up and sustain a digital engineering environment is now a critical professional competency. It empowers them to better manage complexity, enhance collaboration, and deliver superior system outcomes.  This session will provide practical insights and proven strategies for systems engineers seeking to establish and maintain a Digital Engineering environment within their organizations or projects. Through a use case of designing a 4WD camping adventure, the presentation will explain the concepts related to the setting up and ongoing use of a modelling approach, with outputs from both Capella’s Arcadia and Enterprise Architect toolsets.

Learning Outcomes:

In this presentation, you will:

  • Understand the components and processes required to successfully establish a Digital Engineering (DE) environment that supports systems engineering practices across the product lifecycle.
  • Gain insight into the governance framework that ensures data integrity and model integration.
  • Learn strategies for sustaining and scaling a DE environment, and ensuring ongoing alignment with organisation objectives for a DE environment
