Welcome to The Cleveland-Northern Ohio Chapter

Welcome to the home of the Cleveland-Northern Ohio chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).  Come, join us as we explore the application of Systems Engineering to solve complex problems.  We seek to attract participation from the entire northern Ohio region, and build a robust organization that interacts in practical ways with local industry, government, and academia.

Chapter Supported Projects

SySTEAM Initiative

INCOSE Cleveland Chapter is participating in SySTEAM event in northeast Ohio in conjunction with the NSBE's STEM initiatives.  https://www.nsbe.org/ .  The first workshop will be held at CWRU on Satuday, December 9th.  INCOSE members from NASA, Vitamix, and Klinger Engineering Services will be volunteering their time.  Vitamix will be sponsoring a breakfast and supplying blenders for the reverse engineering focused workshop.  Anyone interested in helping out, please contact Bill Klinger ( bill@kes1.net ) or Carl Dister ( carldister@ieee.org ) for more information and to get involved.

Embedded Systems Certification Working Group

The purpose of the Embedded Systems Certification Working Group is to work within the Chapter to establish INCOSE as a professional society that recognizes excellence in “Embedded Systems” Engineering, especially in the current era of Internet of Things interconnected as Systems of Systems with heightened importance of Cybersecurity practices from the Cloud to the Electronics.  With a goal of establishing an INCOSE specialty certification, experts from the field of Embedded Systems can share the proven Systems Engineering model and how it applies to their work making complex systems of systems comprising one or many interconnected Internet of Things.  The Working Group's Co-Chairs are Bob Scaccia and Roger Chaplin.

Community Resilience

For the past few years, the Chapter has supported members involved with the ReliabilityFirst and the Ohio State University Extension project to help communities become more resilient. The Project applies a proven systems-engineering appraisal framework to communities in an effort to benchmark current resilience efforts and highlight areas for improvement.  See the flyer (linked here) for details on the project, methods utilized, and expected results.  For more information reach out to the listed contacts, or visit the project page on the ReliabilityFirst website (linked here).

 

Past Regional Events

2023 Energy & Mobility Conference & Expo

The mission of The Energy & Mobility Conference & Expo is to draw together the brightest minds of today to address the challenges of tomorrow, in particular the need to transition to more sustainable and efficient energy sources. This transition will have ripple effects that radiate throughout the technology, systems and value chain infrastructure, creating unprecedented challenges and opportunities for those with an eye to the future. If you want to be a part of that future, join us in Cleveland to learn about the latest advancements in the fields of energy and mobility, while taking advantage of the opportunity to network and collaborate with industry leaders.

INCOSE Academic Equivalency recognized for Colorado State University
SAN DIEGO (31 May 2021) – The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) proudly awards Colorado State University (CSU) Academic Equivalency for their SYSE 501 course. This course not only assists students in demonstrating their systems engineering knowledge, but it has already drawn working professionals for its academic equivalency status. INCOSE recognized this Academic Equivalency in July 2020.

With this equivalency in place, students who demonstrate systems engineering knowledge through approved coursework will not have to take the INCOSE Knowledge Exam to certify. This knowledge demonstration is key in achieving both ASEP and CSEP certifications making this equivalency a great benefit to Colorado State University.

Kerry Lunney, INCOSE President stated “A program like CSU that offers a single, online, graduate course is an efficient way for working professionals to learn the basics of systems engineering and to have that learning assessed through coursework. When compared to the independent study time most candidates spend when preparing for the INCOSE knowledge exam, Academic Equivalency is a great alternative.”

About the International Council on Systems Engineering
INCOSE is a not-for-profit membership organization that promotes international collaboration in systems engineering practice, education, and research. INCOSE’s mission is to “address complex societal and technical challenges by enabling, promoting and advancing systems engineering and systems approaches.” Founded in 1990, INCOSE has more than 70 chapters and over 18,000 members worldwide.

Chapter Circle Awards

The Cleveland-Northern Ohio Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) began organizing activities during the latter part of 2007, and received charter status from INCOSE during January 2008. As a result of our activities that first year, we received the Bronze level Chapter Circle Award.  We have received a Chapter Circle Award every year since.
