For a company to remain competitive in the market place it is important for the company to utilize their systems engineering workforce effectively. To do this, a company must collect information about their workforce and manipulate this information to the companies' benefit. This paper explores the management of the systems engineering discipline across companies that perform systems engineering activities by: (1) summarizing the current literature, (2) reporting the results of an industry survey, and (3) identifying additional areas for research. Literature is limited when discussing the management and monitoring of individual systems engineering capabilities, the survey data provides insight on how companies manage and track their systems engineering workforce.
