in this paper, we introduce environmental systems engineering (ese) and describe some of its applications combined with process systems engineering (pse) to problems related to environmental systems. these systems—the water cycle and ecosystem cycles—are complex and highly dynamic, with an uncertainty level comparable to that of chemical systems. to illustrate the challenges of applying pse to...

ESE 099 Undergraduate Research and/or Independent Study An opportunity for the student to become closely associated with a professor in (1) a research effort to develop research skills and technique and/or (2) to develop a program of independent in-depth study in a subject area in which the professor and student have a common interest. The challenge of the task undertaken must be consistent wit...

Many organizations are considering the differences, if any, between “complex” or “enterprise” systems engineering (ESE) and “traditional” systems engineering (TSE). As ESE ideas are being pursued more vigorously within a systems engineering organization, it is important to harmonize the collective understanding of individual members as to the relative meanings of these and other terms. This pap...

Changes in the discipline of environmental science and engineering (ESE) are reviewed and a case is made for continued growth of a new metadiscipline of Sustainability Science. This new field embraces economics, social processes, environmental processes, and industrial ecology. Research opportunities and examples of previous successes are discussed in the areas of: (1) sustainability metrics, (...

The implications and challenges for Empirical Software Engineering (ESE) are increasing. The entire software design and development process is affected by the impact of human, organisational, and social issues. Collaboration with different disciplines is becoming necessary in order to fully understand issues that do not obviously fall within the remit of software engineering practices. ESE can ...

Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) is an emerging research field. ESE views an enterprise as a system with a life cycle and a deliverable at the end of an ESE process. It involves modeling, analysis, design, control, improvement, and re-engineering activities. It has a focus on intra-enterprise business processes and inter-enterprise operations. This paper proposes a framework that defines th...

Many tasks in experimental software engineering (ESE) involve the acquisition of knowledge. Only for very few of them systematic knowledge acquisition (KA) practices have been established. It is expected that these ESE tasks can be accomplished more e ectively if the application of appropriate systematic KA methods is fostered. Most reports on KA applications in software engineering address onl...

hile some engineering departments struggle with low enrollment today, the Preston M. Green Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) Department at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, more than tripled over the last ten years. This was done under the guid­ ance of Dr. Arye Nehorai, who was appointed its chair in 2006. This growth, including 34% female enrollment, is mostly due to studen...
