Leonardo DaVinci was both ahead of his time and the epitome of his time. DaVinci had visions of machines, such as airplanes and submarines, centuries before their invention. He had an enormous talent, but more importantly, he had an insatiable thirst for exploration and discovery. His love for beauty and his ingenious spirit led him to pursue studies in a variety of subjects, such as architecture, mechanical design, botany, painting, sculpture, geology, and music. The most important lesson DaVinci's life has taught us is that art and engineering share the same roots of passion and creativity.

Specifying, Developing. Evaluating & Verifying
System Engineering is both a technical and management process. It is a discipline that ties together all aspects of a program to assure that the individual parts assemblies, subsystems, support equipment and associated operational equipment will effectively function as intended in the operational environment. It also is a logical sequence of activities and decisions transforming an operational need into a description of system performance parameters as well as a preferred system configuration.
