This paper proposes an Integrative Engineering Framework for performing enterprise architecture, enterprise, systems, and software engineering in a research, development and innovation enterprise. A constructivist approach is used in developing this framework, without showing the logical predicate formalisms from philosophy of science. The framework is based on a Design Science Research process that incorporates the idea of Zachman Framework reification transformations that can integrate approaches from enterprise architecture and various engineering disciplines. The framework is also generalizable to integrate various engineering disciplines.
