Systems Engineering and Project Management are converging. Systems Engineers are assuming greater responsibilities for the complete project and Project Managers are requiring greater insight into the details of the project product and process. A technique, supported by a computer aided tool, is needed to assist the project Systems Engineer in meeting new responsibilities and to give the Project Manager the insight required. The technique proposed is meta‐modeling. A practical working tool for project management and systems engineering meta‐modeling is presented using an extension of the tool RDD‐100. A new engineering discipline to provide the skill mix and modeling expertise required for project meta‐modeling is described. This discipline, called project engineering , is a natural outgrowth of the convergence of systems engineering and project management.
