Today’s electronic systems are an increasingly complex combination of hardware and software components. They contain an ever-expanding range of functions, require more computing power, have to operate ...

The benefits of using simulation early and often in the product development process are clear. You can verify requirements and begin studying and exploring design alternatives before prototyping and ...

Calvin Hennick is a freelance journalist who specializes in business and technology writing. He is a contributor to the CDW family of technology magazines. NASA has more programs today than at any ...

Although digital engineering has been around for years, its use within the Pentagon has been limited. The T-7A Red Hawk is one of only a handful of programs described as “radically digital." (Boeing) ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

How model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has improved system design. Thermal design and MBE come together. When considering systems-level design, it’s important to understand the criticality of the ...

Formal methods represent a rigorous suite of mathematical techniques designed to specify, develop and verify system models with a high degree of reliability. In system modelling, these methods provide ...

Systems biology modeling is entering a new phase. For decades, computational models—ODE and PDE systems, stochastic simulations, constraint-based networks, ...

Automation aims to standardize industrial operations and bring overall efficiency to today’s production lines. Such gains, however, may come with considerable effort, as engineering teams must ...

While technology hype cycles come and go, Siemens indicates it’s playing the long game with the acquisition of Altair and plans for a specialized AI model trained exclusively on engineering data. Jeff ...

Software engineering is the branch of computer science that deals with the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications. Software engineers apply engineering principles and ...
