- 4. INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook update - Motivation Motivation behind handbook update: Since INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook reflects the state-of-the-good- practice of Systems Engineering, it generally is updated every 5-8 years to capture/incorporate: • Changes in Systems Engineering due to improved principles, processes, methods and tools. • New topics. • Updated versions of systems engineering standards (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288). • New challenges and Vision in Systems Engineering https://incose.org/sehandbook

- 8. INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook update - Structure Differences between 5th and 4th Edition: • The 5th edition is a “Core handbook” compared to the 4th edition being a “Process-centric handbook” • Change in structure between 4th Edition and 5th Edition • Additional information on Systems Engineering Concepts provided in the 5th edition Pros of studying the 5th Edition of the handbook • Refreshed and additional content reflecting the evolution of “state-of-the-good-practice”in SE • It includes references to new INCOSE products related to domains of application
- 9. INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook update – Major Changes Major Changes for the SEH 5th Edition: • Significantly restructured the handbook due to the changes and new topics, the SEH5E now has six parts (previously, the 4th Edition had ten chapters) • Moved to single-column format for improved readability/accessibility • Provided more focus on foundational concepts, to provide reader with overview perspectives • Updated to reflect the latest version of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 - kept alignment with the 15288 processes • Updated the IPO diagrams to be more “model and information centric” • Added new topics ( highlighted in yellow ) such as Uncertainty, Cognitive Bias, Brownfield, COTS, IoT/Big Data, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Natural Systems, Digital Engineering, etc. based on stakeholder inputs • Elaborated more on the practices of SE in terms of competencies/soft skills and relationship to other domains • Engaged a graphic designer for key “impactful” figures • Added additional domain-specific applications and support for future domain annexes
- 11. What is INCOSE Certification? • INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification formally recognizes progress through a career as someone develops and applies systems engineering knowledge and practices. • INCOSE offer three levels of certification ASEP, CSEP and ESEP. • One of the requirements for ASEP and CSEP certification is knowledge of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook. This can be demonstrated through INCOSE's knowledge exam or through Academic Equivalency based on INCOSE Learning Objectives ( LO ).
- 12. Why is SEP Certification Important? For Organizations…. • Formally recognizes the Systems Engineering competencies of your professional staff • Can provide a discriminator for your proposals • Can be used as part of the hiring and promotion process • Provides an independent external assessment • Encourages employee participation in continuing education For Individuals…. • Formally recognizes your Systems Engineering competencies • Provides a discriminator for job applicants • Provides a competitive advantage in your career • Provides a portable Systems Engineering designation that is recognized across industry domains • Participation in continuing education indicates your commitment to personal development For your Teams…. • Allows the team to level-set on Systems Engineering concepts and activities • Helps establish a common Systems Engineering language for your team • Helps break down… o geographic boundaries o organizational boundaries o cultural boundaries
- 13. LO published in July 2023 • 23 hybrid learning objectives (apply to both 4th and 5th, additional content in 5th ) • 1 new learning objective (applies to 5th only) https://www.incose.org/docs/default- source/certification/01-index-core-learning- objectives-screen.pdf?sfvrsn=6c7f91c6_2 INCOSE Learning Objectives
- 14. What is Knowledge Exam? INCOSE’s knowledge exam is a multiple-choice test based on the content of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook
- 15. Timeline and transition for knowledge exam ( E4 to E5 ) NET Aug 2024 Until the current SEH4E translations are updated with SEH5E translations, we’ll keep testing on the hybrid exam
- 16. What is Academic Equivalency? University course using INCOSE Systems Engineering handbook as textbook
- 17. Academic Equivalency Benefits for University • Provide value to students o Free textbook using associate membership o Course completion waives SEP exam for students • Educate non systems engineering students about systems engineering practices when used as elective • Academic Equivalency course can be stand-alone alternative to SEP exam
- 18. How Does Academic Equivalency Work? University Requirements to Apply: • CAB/Academic Council membership • CSEP or ESEP as POC University Application: • Identify assessment type for each INCOSE learning objective • Provide syllabus for equivalent course(s) • Show INCOSE SE Handbook is a required textbook University Effort after AcEq Award: • Submit list of students after course completion • Renew application every 3 years Student Effort for ASEP/CSEP: • Join INCOSE as an individual member • Submit 1-page ASEP application with fee within 1 year of course completion
