Happy International Systems Engineer Day from myself and all the tech-heads at emedia! 🎉 🤓 The internet Gods seem to be split on the actual date—whether November 30 (today) or the last Friday in November (the 24th)—but we’re going to celebrate it today! And I can think of no better way to honor the occasion than to actually EXPLAIN what a Systems Engineer is. The term “systems engineering” has been around since the 1940s. It was first used in Bell Telephone Laboratories. Systems Engineering is worrying about "the space between." SEs help people solve complex problems by breaking things up into smaller parts and putting them back together again. A systems engineer oversees the engineering, business, and management aspects of a project or a system and makes sure that all the parts work together properly. Systems engineers are concerned with the "big picture" of a project in addition to the engineering aspects. They must consider details like cost, schedules, and even social issues. Here are some SE examples from daily life: ✈ Planning a trip 💐 Planting a garden 🚗 Planning your commute to work So—in essence—everyone does a bit of Systems Engineering every day! #SystemsEngineer #SystemsEngineering #TechTips #ThursdayThoughts #InternationalSystemsEngineerDay
