The fundamental principles and properties of engineering systems
are well-understood, so that these systems can be modeled, designed,
and managed effectively.
To solve previously intractable engineering systems problems by
integrating approaches based on engineering, management, and social
sciences, using new framing and modeling methodologies.
To facilitate the beneficial application of engineering
systems principles and properties by expanding the set of problems
addressed by engineers.
To position ESD graduates as tomorrow’s system
thinkers and leaders in tackling society’s challenges.
Commitment to scholarship that addresses significant global problems
by investigating ways in which engineering systems behave and
interact with one another.
Development and evaluation of system-level solutions
that are sustainable in terms of social equity, economic development,
and environmental impact. Acceptance of intellectual risk, tackling
issues that appear, at least in part, to be non-quantifiable or
vague.
Respect for the disciplines encompassed within ESD
research including engineering, social sciences, and management.
