Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) is a discipline of engineering that focuses on integration of many engineering sub-systems and principles into a complete system.

It accomplishes all of the tasks of "traditional" systems engineering, further informed by an expansive view of the context (political, operational, economic, technological, interacting systems, etc.) in which the system(a) under consideration are being developed, acquired, modified, maintained, or disposed of.

Enterprise Systems Engineering may be required when the complexity being faced (due to scale, uncontrollable interdependencies, and other uncertainties) breaks down the assumptions upon which textbook systems engineering is based, such as requirements being relatively stable and well-understood, a system configuration that can be controlled, and a small, easily discernible set of stakeholders.
