Strategic Engineering is the process of architecting and designing complex systems and products in a way that deliberately accounts for future uncertainty and context in order to minimize the effects of lock-in while maximizing lifecycle value.

Solving strategic engineering problems requires taking a macro perspective and carefully combining approaches from engineering, management and the social sciences.

We are pursuing specific areas of study under the umbrella of Strategic Engineering:

Focus areas: 

• Design for Changeability
• Product Platforms and Commonality 
• Interplanetary Space Logistics

Supporting areas:

• Systems Architecture and Engineering
• Multidisciplinary Design Optimization
• Integrated Modeling and Simulation
