✦ Synopsis

While it is possible to link systems thinking and the practice of systems engineering to ancient cultures, this paper seeks to trace the modern history of systems engineering from 1950 to 1995. This retrospective view is intended to provide readers an insight and appreciation of the past contributions of a few of the many researchers, educators, system thinkers, and organizations to the evolutionary development and application of systems engineering. Space and my own limitations prevent the recognition of many more individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the systems engineering body of knowledge.

Recent discoveries show that phenomena in highly excited states of atoms and molecules are qualitatively different from the standard ''planetary'' model of the atom and the near-rigid model of molecules, characteristic of these systems in their low-energy states. Highly excited states of two-electro
