Abstract:
Digital Engineering (DE) provides a new means to executing time proven engineering approaches. Historically, the issues we encounter are “in the seams”, the interfaces and interdependencies, when solving complex engineering problems. DE enables us to model those interfaces and interdependencies better, be more efficient in communicating and tracking authorized data, and will ultimately help us understand how a system behaves before we ever build or test it.
