Roundtable Discussion Topics
• Tools/Technologies for Rapid SE - Room 107
– Tools and technologies that enable rapid development of mission/business
capabilities - from concept to fielding and sustainment
– Facilitators: Kristen Baldwin, Rob Cloutier
• Workforce Development - Room 106
– Addressing the critical shortage of SE talent and skills through training, mentoring,
certification, career development, acceleration of experience …
– Facilitators: Don Gelosh, David Olwell
• Architecture/Security - Room 105
– Architectural approaches, processes and tools that anticipate change by building in
adaptability/flexibility to possible future states, and that incorporate system
engineering ‘ilities’ early in the life-cycle
– Facilitators: Drew Hamilton, Jennifer Bayuk
• Agile SE/Governance - Room 208
– Frameworks for structuring system development efforts that enable rapid,
adaptable, incremental delivery of value, guided by an overarching governance
and enterprise architecture
– Facilitators: Judith Dahmann, Ali Mostashari

Problem Definition
• Define the problem being addressed by the
research topic
• The inadequate supply of qualified, current,
and aligned systems engineers across
industry, academia, and government, now
and in the foreseeable future, is inadequate to
meet demand.
Purpose/Objectives of a Research Effort
• Define what you would plan to accomplish as
a result of the research e.g. analyze,
prototype, create a framework, create a
roadmap
– Define the requirements for the SE workforce
– Understand the reasons for the status quo
– Create a roadmap for system engineering
workforce development within an agreed
framework to meet the requirements
Benefits of a Research Effort
• Higher probability of meeting workforce
requirements
– Clearer path for careers and organization
• More versatile, efficient (systems) engineering
workforce
• Less risk of program failure due to underqualified, not up-to-date, or mis-aligned
personnel
Approach of a Research Effort
Apply SE to SE workforce development
– Define the requirements by manpower models
and stakeholder input
– Catalog and model the status quo for current and
projected needs and supply of systems engineers
– Identify benchmarks from existing SE
development programs across government,
industry, academia and national borders
• Salient features
• Successes
• Inhibitors
– Analyze and synthesize
– Develop pilot SE development program
Potential Sponsors

areas they may have, if any
