One of the problems I solved was the allocation of anti-missile weapons to attack incoming missiles. Among my many tasks I use queueing and forecasting models to help cellular service providers predict how much call blocking their customers will experience and when more cellular radios and equipment should be ordered. Systems engineering is interesting to me because it allows me to be creative. My creations must serve to solve a customer's problem or satisfy an unmet need with a salable product. So I am also a problem solver, and I achieve satisfaction from seeing the results of my creative process helping others.
Systems engineering is a blend of logic and creativity.
It is an exciting profession, and it is open to anyone with a logical, creative mind who wishes to use it to solve real problems.
