Systems Engineering adopts an integrated and multidisciplinary approach in designing and implementing large scale and complex systems that serves our everyday needs. Systems Engineering deals with the satisfactory design of the Whole as distinguished from design of the Parts. In recent times, due to our modern interdependent and complex world, Systems Engineering becomes a demanding intellectual discipline.
In Singapore, thanks to many visionary systems engineering practitioners, it is not difficult for us to see the successful and cost-effective realisations of many critical systems/infrastructures such as the Container Ports, Changi Airport, MRT system, Water & Power Supply and Distribution Systems, Defence and Security Capabilities etc., that collectively enable Singaporeans to enjoy world class living standard.
