Presentation: In systems engineering, system resilience is an important area. When social systems are considered in the system of interest, systems engineering can also work with social resilience. Social resilience has a large theoretical foundation in the social sciences, and conceptually, has much to offer systems engineers as they evaluate system resilience. In this talk, Dr. Palmer will discuss what social resilience is and how it can be considered as part of systems engineering practice.
