INCOSE UK Chapter

Aims

To foster the definition, recognition, understanding and practice of world classsystems engineering in Industry, Academia and Government.

Objectives

• To provide a focus for debating all issues of relevant to systems engineering andexchange of knowledge
• To promote improvements in systems engineering education and research and to establishstandards
• To improve the professional status of all persons engaged in the practice of systemsengineering
• To encourage Government and Industrial support for research and educational programmesthat will improve the systems engineering process and its practices.

Philosophy

Practical solutions for practising systems engineers

A Systems approach to Systems Engineering

As broad a membership as possible - we can all learn from each other.

Membership

At present we have 350+ members, having started with 50 at our inaugural event inSeptember 1994. Members come from diverse backgrounds covering purchasers, systemdevelopers and academics. Industries represented include aerospace, defence,transportation, construction and telecommunications. A goal for the UK Chapter is toachieve a steady and sustained increase in the number of members, and to further broadenthe base of that membership to include new industries. If you undertake tasks which arecharacterised by the interaction of multiple factors across multiple domains, oftenexhibiting less obvious behaviour, you're either doing or need to be doing some systemsengineering, and INCOSE exists to help you.
