Meeting Program:  Jack Ring, Fellow, INCOSE: “Choosing Your SE Competency Assessment Instrument”
Abstract: INCOSE, NDIA, and several individual companies are interested in a common way to assess the systems engineering competency of respective individuals. Several competency models and assessment methods have been devised but none have proven sufficiently general yet incisive to serve the variety of intended uses. The INCOSE Fellows volunteered to devise criteria for selecting a competency model and assessment method, essentially the measures of effectiveness for selecting among candidate competency models and assessment methods. This presentation reports on the current status of the perceived need, the development plan, the effectiveness validation method of the Fellows Action Item effort.

In Memoriam: John Wirsbinski (1969 - 2009)  (6 Jul 2009)
On April 24, 2009, a rising star in the Systems Engineering community was tragically removed from our midst. John Wirsbinski, 40, died in a motorcycle accident leaving his wife, Shasta, and their twins, son Collens and daughter Lauren, without a beloved husband and father. As many of you know, John was very active in the Systems Engineering community.

In addition to being a board member at large of the New Mexico Enchantment Chapter, he was also the co-chair of the Security Working Group, as well as working on his Doctorate in Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology.

For those desiring, a Memorial Fund has been set up to benefit the children. Donations can be made to the Wirsbinski Memorial Fund
