Breadth versus depth is an aspect of systems engineering that is often referred to but seldom fully defined. This paper presents results of recent research that defines multiple aspects of depth that should be considered and discusses their value. The set of nine dimensions expands beyond the usual view of breadth defined as multiple systems engineering areas and can be applied to growth paths for systems engineers in their expertise development.
