The sponsored research arm of
Case Studies
SECOE Project 99-01 has identified the following case studies in various aspects of systems engineering. Studies are catalogued by industry and year of occurrence.
As a future vision, this list of case studies will grow to hundreds. This data base of actual information will be available to SECOE researchers and others to perform research and to test hypotheses. Preference will be given to those who contribute.
If you have case studies to identify or to contribute, please contact us.
