“…Systems engineers apply and integrate concepts and rules derived from math and science to create and apply such principles. According to Ahram et al (2013a) "Knowledge-based service system, such as teaching, depends on the user knowledge to deliver the service. This knowledge may become embedded in a product or process that makes the services accessible to more people.…”

Researchers and engineers are finding themselves in a dilemma where supply is not meeting demand with an exponential growing population and complex systems putting more demands on power systems. The demand and supply of natural resources used to generate, transmit, and consume the power make the challenge for the human race even more complex. This research paper provides a motivation and quest for sustainable human factors and ergonomics (HF/E), specifically human performance elements in complex systems design and development. The advancements achieved in complex systems engineering show that the application of sustainable HF/E can lead to highly sophisticated and useable applications to ensure sustainability of limited resources such as energy and clean water. The integration of HF/E and Human-Centered design concepts with systems engineering proves critical for building complex systems and to support meeting the needs for future workforce skills and capabilities.

Given the most competitive nature of global business environment, effective engineering innovation is a critical requirement for all levels of system lifecycle development. The society and community expectations have increased beyond environmental short term impacts to global long term sustainability approach. Sustainability and engineering competence skills are extremely important due to a general shortage of engineering talent and the need for mobility of highly trained professionals [1]. Engineering sustainable complex systems is extremely important in view of the general shortage of resources and talents. Engineers implement new technologies and processes to avoid the negative environmental, societal and economic impacts. Systems thinking help engineers and designers address sustainable development issues with a global focus using leadership and excellence. This paper introduces the Systems Engineering (SE) methodology for designing complex and more sustainable business and industrial solutions, with emphasis on engineering excellence and leadership as key drivers for business sustainability. The considerable advancements achieved in complex systems engineering indicate that the adaptation of sustainable SE to business needs can lead to highly sophisticated yet widely useable collaborative applications, which will ensure the sustainability of limited resources such as energy and clean water. The SE design approach proves critical in maintaining skills needed in future capable workforce. Two factors emerged to have the greatest impact on the competitiveness and sustainability of complex systems and these were: improving skills and performance in engineering and design, and adopting SE and human systems integration (HSI) methodology to support sustainability in systems development. Additionally, this paper provides a case study for the application of SE and HSI methodology for engineering sustainable and complex systems.
