This paper describes a program organized by the INCOSE Academic Council to determine future directions in systems engineering (SE) research. This program, consisting of three collaborative workshops, uses a framework coupling societal needs to systems challenges and then to gaps in the capabilities of SE, which inform the direction of future SE research. The results of the first workshop are presented including a description of the Grand Challenges in five selected areas, namely, societal needs, problem definitions, desired results, obstacles, and related research questions. This paper concludes with a summary and description of the future work for this program. |
