Mission
THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ("INCOSE") IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION FOUNDED TO DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE THE INTERDISCIPLINARY PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES THAT ENABLE THE REALIZATION OF SUCCESSFUL SYSTEMS. INCOSE IS DESIGNED TO CONNECT SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS WITH EDUCATIONAL, NETWORKING, AND CAREER-ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE INTEREST OF DEVELOPING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERS AND SYSTEMS APPROACHES TO PROBLEMS. WE ARE ALSO FOCUSED ON PRODUCING STATE-OF-THE-ART WORK PRODUCTS THAT SUPPORT AND ENHANCE THIS DISCIPLINE'S VISIBILITY IN THE WORLD.INCOSE'S MISSION IS TO ADDRESS COMPLEX SOCIETAL AND TECHNICAL CHALLENGES BYENABLING, PROMOTING, AND ADVANCING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS APPROACHES.
Program accomplishments
- ACADEMIC EVENTS AND OUTREACH:INCOSE'S INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IS THE EVENT OF THE YEAR FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE STATE OF THE ART. UNLIKE INCOSE'S ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM AND OTHER CONFERENCES, THERE ARE NO PAPER, PANEL OR TUTORIAL PRESENTATIONS. INSTEAD, ATTENDEES SPEND 4 DAYS WORKING ALONGSIDE FELLOW SYSTEMS ENGINEERS WHO ARE THERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SYSTEMS ENGINEERS AT ALL LEVELS AND FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ENGAGE IN WORKING SESSIONS, AND CONTRIBUTE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO TAKE THE DISCIPLINE FORWARD.INCOSE'S ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM IS THE LARGEST WORLDWIDE ANNUAL GATHERING OF PEOPLE WHO DO SYSTEMS ENGINEERING FOR FOUR DAYS OF PRESENTATIONS, CASE STUDIES, WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS. THE PROGRAM ATTRACTS AN INTERNATIONAL MIX OF PROFESSIONALS AT ALL LEVELS, AND INCLUDES PRACTITIONERS IN GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS EDUCATORS AND RESEARCHERS. THE BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THE SYMPOSIUM INCLUDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IDEAS, NETWORK, BUILD COMPETENCY, PURSUE CERTIFICATION, CONTRIBUTE TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE PROFESSION THROUGH COLLABORATION ON TOOLS, PROCESSES AND METHODOLOGIES, LEARN ABOUT NEW OFFERINGS IN TRAINING AND EDUCATION, AND FORGE NEW PARTNERSHIPS.IN ADDITION, INCOSE HAS AN ACTIVE ACADEMIC AND OUTREACH PROGRAM.
- MEMBERSHIP:NEW SKILLS ARE ATTAINED AND SKILLS CAN BE HONED THOUGH SEVERAL OF INCOSE'S VENUES. THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM FEATURES PAPERS, PANEL PRESENTATIONS, AND TUTORIALS. IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE TWO TIMES EACH YEAR WHEN OUR TECHNICAL COMMITTEES AND WORKING GROUPS MEET IN PERSON. THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IS THE OTHER EVENT. REGIONAL CONFERENCES HOSTED BY CHAPTERS OFFER A SHORTER VENUE AND ARE ATTRACTIVE TO THOSE INTERESTED IN LESS TRAVEL AND EXPENSE. MOST CHAPTERS REGULARLY HOLD MEETINGS FEATURING SPEAKERS ON INTERESTING TOPICS. TUTORIALS HAVE BECOME A MAINSTAY ACTIVITY SPONSORED BY CHAPTERS AND ARE AN EXCELLENT VALUE. THE QUARTERLY PUBLICATION INSIGHT FEATURES A THEME TOPIC IN EACH ISSUE. RECENT THEMES HAVE INCLUDED FUNDAMENTALS SUCH AS RISK MANAGEMENT AND MEASUREMENT.
- CERTIFICATION:CERTIFICATION IS A FORMAL PROCESS WHEREBY A COMMUNITY OF KNOWLEDGEABLE, EXPERIENCED, AND SKILLED REPRESENTATIVES OF AN ORGANIZATION, SUCH AS INCOSE, PROVIDES CONFIRMATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S COMPETENCY (DEMONSTRATED KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION, AND EXPERIENCE) IN A SPECIFIED PROFESSION. CERTIFICATION DIFFERS FROM LICENSING IN THAT LICENSES ARE PERMISSIONS GRANTED BY A GOVERNMENT ENTITY FOR A PERSON TO PRACTICE WITHIN ITS REGULATORY BOUNDARIES. CERTIFICATION ALSO DIFFERS FROM A "CERTIFICATE" THAT DOCUMENTS THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF A TRAINING OR EDUCATION PROGRAM.
