Main Presentation: "Architecting a Purpose-Driven Roadmap for Impactful Digital Transformation", by Dr. Carla Sayan
Abstract:
The Aerospace and Defense Industry is currently undergoing a paradigm shift recognized as digital transformation or digital engineering. Despite its prevalence and being introduced with considerable interest, the precise objectives of this paradigm shift remain elusive from other branches of engineering, fostering diverse interpretations within the industry’s landscape. The paper begins by addressing the fundamental question: what exactly are digital transformation and digital engineering? We then explore whether this concept encompasses the widespread adoption of model-based systems engineering (MBSE), Model-Based Design (MBD) and others. Our inquiry extends to examining how these MB-X methodologies reshape traditional engineering practices, and whether digital engineering transcends beyond the realms of MBSE and MBD to include broader technological, procedural and organizational changes. We will explore whether digital is simply a progressive refinement of longstanding practices on what the hardware (electrical and mechanical) discipline has already proven for decades; that prioritizing modeling and simulation before producing HW can yield an improvement in the development life cycle. This paper aims to define a purpose for digital engineering and outline a roadmap forward for the evolution of digital engineering as a core practice.

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.

The Silver Circle Award recognizes chapters adopting best practices and performing to the highest goals and standards established by our organization.
For many, chapters provide the primary day-to-day interface with INCOSE. Chapters organize technical and social programs, communicate key information about our organization and discipline, support technical activities, and enhance the member experience by facilitating an open, inviting environment where members receive valued products and services that enhance their careers. In fulfilling this mission, the North Texas Chapter leaders and members have committed significant time and energy to further the goals of our organization.
High quality, vibrant chapters are essential in INCOSE’s drive to enrich, educate, and enlighten the INCOSE membership while improving recognition of INCOSE and the systems engineering profession. The Sector Directors and INCOSE extend heartfelt congratulations, thanks and appreciation to the North Texas Chapter for its contributions towards attaining these goals.
