INCOSE Colorado Front Range Chapter Picnic - July 19th, 2025

Student Showcase - May 22nd, 2025

The INCOSE Colorado Front Range (CFR) Chapter is hosting an opportunity for systems students to expand your network, provides fresh questions and feedback to consider, and strengthen presentation skills.

Students are invited to share a short presentation (~5 mins) followed by brief questions and discussions. Successful past topics have come from student’s research or about a topic from a class project.

 A Showcase should target 1-3 slides highlighting the topic and often include items such as:

1. the Significance of the problem or solution
2. Key Context surrounding the area of study
3. Innovations or Contributions of the area of study
4. A Current Challenge or Potential Solution in the area of the problem
5. Lessons Learned such as a Research Step, Tool or Technique that has significantly helped.

The next CFR Student Showcase is planned for Thursday, May 22, 2025, 6-7:30pm as a Hybrid Event.  The CFR Colorado Springs folks are gathering at ....  The CFR Denver folks are gathering at ...  Or, students and chapter members may participate virtually from ANYWHERE!

Topic: Using MBSE to Perform Functional Analysis to Analyze Customer Requirements

The theory of Systems Engineering says we start at the top with customer needs, define requirements for the top level system in our product hierarchy, then decompose those requirements into the subsystem requirements at the next level down in the hierarchy- or does it? Some believe architecture work can begin once the requirements work is completed at any given level, but is that the only time that the tools and methods for architecture are useful? Have you ever been on a program where the practice of Systems Engineering aligns with the theory of Systems Engineering 100 percent? How do you cope with the deviations from the theory? What happens when the original requirement at the top is not an appropriate one that people should start with? This presentation will have a brief overview of systems engineering and then walk through an example of a top level requirement handed down from a customer to a program. We will use functional analysis to improve the requirement and answer the preceding questions.
