About the SERC:
The Systems Engineering Research

Department of Defense, leverages the research and expertise of senior
lead researchers from 20 collaborator universities and not-for-profit
research organizations throughout the United States. SERC is
unprecedented in the depth and breadth of its reach, leadership, and
citizenship in Systems Engineering. Led by Stevens Institute of Technology, and principal collaborator, the University of Southern California (USC),
the SERC provides a critical mass of systems engineering researchers – a
