The Winter 2020 issue of the National Academy of Engineering’s journal The Bridge explores the themes of complexity and unifiability. Unifiability is both an engineering ethos and also a broader cultural responsibility. It is the leveraging of approaches and capabilities from different practices and paths of inquiry to foster functional systems engineering for complex problems. This subject is explored in short essays by a distinguished group of contributors across a wide spectrum of scientists, engineers, economists, industrial leaders and more.
The editors note that "Unifiability involves crossing boundaries, as well as leadership, strategy, communications, and accountability. Such a practice will lead to reflective conversations on and responsible explorations of approaches to better understand and engage with complex systems.”
