A criticism that could be levied on the systems engineering profession is that while we have been working hard at it for a long time, the improvements in achieving a more scientific approach could be better than they have been. PRC is applying the Systems Engineering Capability Maturity Model (SE‐CMM) to facilitate a more scientific systems engineering (SE) approach. This article reports on the approach used and evaluates our progress to date. It provides insights for other organizations which are believed will facilitate more scientific advances in SE practices elsewhere.
