“…ISM was chosen as it provides systems engineers with a systematic and comprehensive method for developing first-version models ideal for proposal generation [22]. ISM will display the contextual relationships between the key attributes [12,23]. The contextual relationships will later result in level partitioning to develop a digraph or flow of factors [24].…”

Systems engineering (SE) solves the most complex problems, bringing together societal issues, theoretical engineering, and the transformation of theory into products and services to better humanity and reduce suffering. In industry, the effort to transform theoretical concepts into practical solutions begins with the product life cycle concept stage, where systems engineering estimates and derives technologies, costs, and schedules. It is crucial to have a successful concept stage as today’s industries focus on producing the most capable technologies at an affordable cost and faster time to market than ever before. The research of this paper utilizes a transdisciplinary SE process model in the concept stage to develop and propose training for early-in-career engineers, effectively bridging the gap from university learning to industry practice. With a focus on the concept stage of the product life cycle and the industry’s demands of expeditiously proposing complex technical solutions, the paper aims to create an efficient learning program. The main objective of this research is to create a learning program to bring up-to-speed early-in-career engineers using a transdisciplinary SE process model, with six key components: (1) disciplinary convergence—creating a collective impact; (2) TD collaboration; (3) collective intelligence; (4) TD research integration; (5) TD engineering tools; and (6) analysis and TD assessment. The research will then conclude with a case study piloting the TD learning program and analyzing its effectiveness, ultimately aiming to enhance early-in-career engineers’ skills in proposing technical solutions that meet customer demands and drive business profitability.

“…Cluster IV includes five independent parametersmodular design, measure (1), motion control, measure (7), wear resistance, measure (5), operating life, measure (6), and linear motion, measure (8) with a strong driving power but very weak dependence. Figure 15 shows that modular design and the motion control are at the bottom of the digraph having strong driving power -they dictate the performance of the 3D SPM.…”

In this paper, we introduced the integration of well-known TD tools that have been applied in many fields including product development, project management, many engineering disciplines, design of the organization, sustainable development, social issues, environmental issues, and others across many industries including automotive, aerospace, telecom, semiconductor, defense, transportation, energy, healthcare, agriculture, and more. The main objective of this paper is to introduce a new transdisciplinary (TD) engineering-based integrated approach to designing and developing a 3D silicone printing machine (SPM). Factors in designing and developing 3D SPM were simplified by considering the main factors affecting the performance of 3D SPM. Results are discussed and the modular 3D silicone printing machine design was presented. Using the Axiomatic Design (AD) tool, components of each module were identified to satisfy the functional requirements of the 3D SPM. Six TD-integrated tools were used to design the 3D SPM in this research. They are Quality Function Deployment (QFD), House of Quality (HOQ), TRIZ, AD, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), and Design Structure Matrix (DSM).
