Observations
• Many achievements are complex systems or create complex systems
• Almost all embedded in complex systems
• All result from product designs (none processes)
• Any identified with, or product of, education and research in engineering systems?

Opportunities & Challenges
• Opportunities• Importance: plenty of critical issues• Breadth: touches almost everything • Awareness: increasing recognition of importance
• Design and systems everywhere, not only engineering• Challenges (for systems)
• Public and potential students lack awareness and understanding• Viewed as “soft” by many engineering faculty • Complexity and lack of closed form solutions • Often, no physical artifact
