Whether you are involved in developing the next generation of consumer electronics, a new aircraft, service product, a defense system or a new piece of infrastructure, ,Systems Engineering for the Planet" will increasingly mark a major focus for all system development challenges, regardless of our domain of practice. Sustainable development and environmental impact are major concerns in all categories of products and systems, with consumers and governments alike now demanding that systems and products not only perform to requirements, but also do so with no damage to the environment. Concern for the environment is increasingly evident as an explicit requirement in new aerospace and defense solicitations, placing a premium on our understanding, as professional systems engineers, of how to design with complex environmental factors in mind.
