What is the Major Challenge

for Todays TechnologicalCompanies?

K. Craig 4

The Challenge

Societys problems are getting harder, broader,

and deeper and are multidisciplinary in nature.

Basic engineering skills have become

commodities worldwide.

An engineer is the quintessential

critical thinking, problem solver.

Engineers must provide high value by being

immediate, innovative, integrative, conceptual,

and multidisciplinary.

How can a company

transform itself and its

workforce

to successfully design andimplement

multidisciplinary

engineering systems?

InnovationInnovation is Local.

You dont import it.You dont export it.

You create it.

It is a way of thinking,

communicating, and doing.

Challenges are met and problems

are solved by changing culture attitude and behavior

and instilling ownership.

Consensus

something in which no one believes

and to which no one objectsis not a substitute for shared ownership.

In evaluating concepts, a

modeling-and-analysis

approach must replace any

design-build-and-test

approach, but this

modeling ismultidisciplinary and

crosses domain

boundaries.
