Lou Wheatcraft provides the latest information about INCOSE’s Requirements Working Group (RWG).

Dr. John E. Thomas explains how critical infrastructures are essential to public health, safety, and well-being but they are inherently vulnerable to unanticipated disruptions that can impact businesses, technical operations, supply chains, and daily life across local, regional, and global scales.

Kevin Robinson, Chief Engineer, Shoal Group Australia, presents a case for acquisition agencies to both adopt and drive the application of Digital Engineering within their industry.

Michael Darby, CSEP, of the Idaho National Laboratory provided an overview of how the Mission Thread Analysis approach has been used to evaluate mission resilience. He showed generalized results of additional threat-based scenarios and how the All-Hazard Analysis tool can be integrated with black out exercises to assess how and where alternatives, or courses of action, are needed to ultimately improve the overall mission resilience.

In this presentation, Dr. Eisner explains how Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) can be used by Systems Engineers who are looking for cost-effective solutions. CEA is a proven method for choosing the best answer from a set of alternatives.

Lymari Castro-Diaz shares how Design Thinking can be a powerful set of human-centered design techniques that systems engineers can combine with tools such as Lean Startup and Agile to quickly discover problems, and ideate solutions that are feasible, viable, desirable, and provide value to the organization.

Ms. Aleksandra Scalco, CSEP, explains how disagreements exist among professionals about remediation of control system vulnerability, mainly due to discrepancies in engineering practice, paradigms, processes, and culture. Her presentation introduces a new model and methodology for measuring multi-concern assurance through statistical uncertainty analysis of Likert semantic differential scales.

Dr. David Flanigan, CSEP, our incoming 2022 Chapter President, discusses how over the last two years, the world has had to adapt to different work and life practices during the pandemic, including our chapter and other systems engineering activities. How do we continue to adapt in the coming year?

The day-long tutorial on a Saturday in November 2021 presented by Casey Medina of Studio SE was a huge success.

Dr. Mark W. Maier, a Technical Fellow at The Aerospace Corporation, discusses the major lessons learned from conducting a large scale study of its next generation weather satellite constellation architecture. Among the topics discussed are the selection and primacy of value models, the concept of architectures as classes of system alternative, and variance as a measure of significance.

Aleksandra Scalco, CSEP, Engineer with the Naval Information Warfare Center, uses the Colonial Pipeline ransomware example as a case study for cybersecurity controls' return on Investment (ROI) for critical infrastructure control systems.

In this webinar, Paul Martin, ESEP, CTT+, explained the demanding process of applying to the INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) application.

Randall C. Iliff explains how the South Pole is now home to IceCube, the world’s largest and arguably most unusual telescope. Randy shares a true insider’s view of how the power of Program Management and Systems Engineering, working together in a process uniquely tailored for IceCube, enabled all of this to happen. It truly was a rare opportunity to observe the logic, tailoring strategy, and artifacts from one of the most remarkable development programs ever to take place.

Peter Luckey, a Senior Solutions Consultant at 321 Gang,explains how Systems Engineers play an important role in the execution of Agile development and even more so with the application of SAFe processes. Peter provided how the application of various SE workshops within the SAFe framework accomplish the Systems Engineering that needs to be done in large scale agile development efforts.
