Large or small, seasoned or new, government or commercial, the complaint is always the shortage of good systems engineers. The common refrain is “we don’t have enough, and many of the ones we have are retiring.” As organizations embrace model-based systems engineering, the problem worsens with a limited pool of model-based talent in high demand around the globe. As a profession, how do we better develop the next generation of systems engineers? Surprisingly enough, the answer lies in MBSE—but not in the way most people think.
