This paper proposes a new initiative, named STRATEGOS, devoted to promote Strategic Engineering as a new discipline to be taught in University and to prepare a new generations of engineers able to use new technologies for supporting decision makers on strategic issues. This initiative is strongly based on the capability to combine different methodologies in real applications; the pillars of this discipline are represented by Modeling and simulation, data science, machine learning and smart optimization solutions. Also, the paper proposes applications and program as example for further developments
