This paper discusses the current trend of system engineering tools to focus on production‐oriented solutions rather than feature‐oriented products. This trend is spearheaded by engineers demanding more than a drawing and thinking aide ‐but rather tools that unify the product delivery life cycle and provide unambiguous communication between system engineers and designers ‐ tools that guarantee that the developed system reflects the one specified. This paper draws as a parallel, the industrialization of the CAD/CAM industry during the 1970s. Also, a correlation is shown between today's electronic CAE industry and how its set of tools are forcing systems engineers to rethink their definition of deliverables.
