Authors' reply to David Elms' discussion of ‘Integrating the liberal arts into the body of knowledge for civil engineering systems engineers’
The author’s reply to David Elms welcomes the supportive comments and offers a visualisation of the body of knowledge required of a systems engineer, building on the ‘T-shaped' person construct. The systems engineer requires a series of pillars of deep domain knowledge, acquired throughout a lifetime of experience, with serial capstones representing the synthesis and integration of that knowledge. Many of the capstones should be from the distant territories of ‘liberal arts' – leading to ‘Stonehenge-shaped people'.
