ABSTRACT
The year 2020 was an unprecedented time for the entire engineering workforce. Many companies were forced to transition to a strictly telecommuting environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, engineering organizations and teams needed to quickly assess how they could continue their mission and achieve their goals with minimal disruption to their existing workflow. For some, the transition was far easier than others due to the established processes, procedures, and information systems already in place. This paper explores the structure of a Digitally Integrated Systems Engineering (DISE) team, their framework (process, procedures, methods, tools, and environment), the transition to remote work, the successes and challenges of that transition, and potential implications for the future. © American Society for Engineering Management, 2021
