The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) was founded as a collaborative effort to bring systems engineers together and provide them with resources to progress in their field. Their mission is to cultivate a strong network of professionals, supply educational materials, and create tools that will help systems engineers be successful. INCOSE is dedicated to elevating the global profile of the systems engineering (SE) profession.

The handbook provides assistance for individuals of various backgrounds and experience levels, such as those just beginning their systems engineering journey, engineers from different disciplines needing to apply the principles of systems engineering, and experienced engineers looking for a handy reference.

The newly released INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook V5 is a comprehensive guide to the discipline of SE which outlines the current best practices and serves as an informative reference for understanding SE in terms of content and application.

System engineers focus on making each of the individual systems work together into an integrated whole that performs as expected across the lifecycle of the product. In order to deliver successful products, they need the right user needs and requirements. Efficient, precise, and professionally written requirements form the foundation of the product development process so that various teams (design, software, and hardware systems) can all work together with a shared and clear understanding of the project goals.

In 2020, the development of the E5 started in January 2020 with 700 User Needs from the handbook community ( INCOSE Working Groups, INCOSE Fellows, INCOSE Corporate Advisory Boards, INCOSE Certification Advisory Group, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), certification training providers, INCOSE International Workshop sessions, INCOSE International Symposium, Handbook Fourth Edition (E4) comments ) which were decomposed a few months later to Stakeholder Requirements, Handbook Requirements and Author Requirements .

In September 2020, more than 100 handbook authors were carefully selected by the Editorial Team coming from INCOSE Working Groups and other Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). All of them have been updating and creating inputs for the E5 based on the Author Requirements for all the sections. By design, the handbook and the 15288 standard are being updated simultaneously, so 15288 will be a moving target over the new two years. From a practical perspective, the main impact will be to Part III.

In 2021, all initial inputs from authors will be assemble by end of January, a first draft prototype of handbook E5 will be ready to support the expected sessions and working meetings at International Workshop 2021. The main activities in 2021 will be related to prototype verification and validation, reviews, comments disposition, and development of domain application guides. The following figure shows the overall schedule until 2023.

At International Workshop 2021, January 29 to 31 2021, the Editorial Team will facilitate one session for Q&A and one status presentation in Town Hall on 30th Saturday, as this is a 100% virtual workshop, any systems engineering practitioner or INCOSE member from wherever in the world can attend easily. You all are kindly invited to be with us.

The tangential tasks, such as Training Needs Analysis, should be removed from the handbook altogether. These would be more appropriate as a list of tools and techniques maintained separately online, where it can be updated frequently and cross-referenced with other sources.

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- A U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center employee was recently conferred by the International Council on Systems Engineering as an Expert Systems Engineering Professional.

INCOSE is a membership organization whose goal is to develop and disseminate principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems in order to advance systems engineering. Since its formation in 1990, INCOSE has grown significantly in membership.

There are currently 256 ESEPs in the US, with seven residing in Huntsville, Ala. Channell is one of only two government employees to achieve the expert level in the Redstone community. There are only three total ESEPs in the Redstone community, including the two government employees.

Channell continues to encourage professional systems engineers to pursue certification through the CSEP. With a minimum of five years of systems engineering experience, a qualifying degree and three references, an individual can qualify to apply for the CSEP certification. As an advocate for the INCOSE organization, Channell has acted as a sponsor for personnel from across the center to help them achieve their CSEP certification. Within ED, technical encouragement is provided to employees seeking their CSEP.

"I thought I understood systems engineering well, even when I had titles like Lead Systems Engineer, because of my experience base, training, and education. I understood it a lot better and it all made a lot more sense having gone through the certification process," Channell said.

Channell said preparing for the CSEP can be rigorous. The 80 question exam is thorough and can be difficult; He suggests studying the INCOSE handbook to prepare and credits the program with furthering his knowledge of systems engineering, with hope that more engineers will apply for the program.

The application process for the expert level certification took approximately one year to complete. Once completed and submitted, Channell went through a rigorous interview process with the board of ESEPs at INCOSE.

"Tom is a true professional. His interest is in increasing technical excellence and raising the bar for AMRDEC and the area of systems engineering and systems engineering management," said Sherrod, ED deputy director.

To be qualified to apply for the ESEP, an individual must have at least 25 years of systems engineering experience. The individual must also provide evidence of professional development leadership as part of the application.

U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, which has the mission to provide innovative research, development and engineering to produce capabilities that provide decisive overmatch to the Army against the complexities of the current and future operating environments in support of the joint warfighter and the nation. RDECOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command.

The handbook is meticulously structured, covering a wide range of topics from the conceptualization of systems to their retirement. It emphasises a holistic approach, considering both the technical and the human aspects of systems engineering. Key areas include system requirements, design, integration, verification, validation, and maintenance. Each chapter is crafted to provide a deep dive into the processes and activities essential for the successful management of systems engineering projects.
