-“//​Advancements in computing, modeling, data management, and analytical capabilities offer great opportunities for the engineering practice. Applying these tools and methods, we are shifting toward a dynamic **digital engineering** ecosystem. This digital engineering transformation is necessary to meet new threats, maintain overmatch, and leverage technology advancements//​ [2].” ​ -- Kristen Baldwin - Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering (DASD(SE)+“//​Advancements in computing, modeling, data management, and analytical capabilities offer great opportunities for the engineering practice.
