SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

In my home region of Vancouver, there are many local companies that heavily use systems engineering in their development. They include MDA, Westport, Ballard, and many small tech start-ups. They have all had to teach the Systems Engineering discipline by bringing in external resources, as BC graduates don't come with much Systems educational background. For future BC developments, such as a new LNG plant, or improving our Health Care System, Systems Engineering is of great benefit. In the rest of Canada, we have world leading companies like Bombardier, GE Canada, SNC-Lavalin, Cisco, and Blackberry that all heavily use Systems Engineering... There is also strong Systems Engineering Professional Education Programs available from places like Caltech or Georgia Tech, as many organizations send mid-career engineers, project managers, business analysts and management to these programs. INCOSE, the International Council of Systems Engineering also provides links to training and certification..
