Engineering is the study and practice of discovering, inventing, developing, designing, and utilizing technologies. It is a discipline and an art (profession). It combines knowledge and skills; involves scientific principles and practical guidelines and the ability to implement them in real environments.  (C. Zins, 2011).

Post your comments on the conception and structure of the field!
Mario Samudio
 University of Cundinamarca, Colombia

I am a student of Systems Engineering at the University of Cundinamarca, Colombia. Where do you place on the 10PK map the field of systems engineering? Systems engineering provides a holistic view on the engineering of complex systems? (March 13, 2013)

Chaim Zins: Systems engineering is associated with engineering, which is placed in Pillar 9 (technology), cat 2 (professions) (cat. 65). However, we still need to clarify the conception of systems engineering in order to determine if it is a distinct field of knowledge. This should be done with experts in systems engineering. (March 13, 2013).
