At George Mason University
INCOSE Spring Academic Forum
Systems Education for All Engineers
May 18-19, 2015
Hosted by WPI
Systems Engineering and Leadership Institute (SELI)
The INCOSE Spring Academic Forum sponsored by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), Academic Council, the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) was hosted by the Systems Engineering and Leadership Institute (SELI) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) on May 18 – 19. Rick Adcock, INCOSE Associate Director for Education served as the General Chairman of the Forum.
The Forum engaged 40 leaders in engineering education from academe, industry, and government to consider how to make substantive progress in expanding the role of systems knowledge in the education of All Engineers.
The forum considered this topic in three ways:
- How can we better describe and communicate the value of systems knowledge in engineering education, for students, employers and educators?
- What is the best way to build on existing successes to create useful materials, products and recommendations to help deliver this value?
- Is the Systems Engineering knowledge base sufficient to support these outputs?
The forum will provide recommendations to INCOSE, the SERC and ASEE on coordinating their engagement with academic and professional communities to promote the integration of appropriate systems knowledge into the education of all engineers.
All of the materials developed for this Forum follow:
