The sponsored research arm of
Active Projects
Research projects are the heart of the INCOSE SECOE. Through its funded projects, the SECOE develops knowledge and understanding of the engineering of complex systems.
As a future vision, the body of knowledge created through this research will provide an underlying theoretical background for systems engineering. Such a background will improve the current heuristic knowledge and pragmatic practice by:
- Providing a framework for teaching the practice of systems engineering
Current practice is experiential and takes years to learn- Understanding the effects of variation in environment, process, or product
Current practice handles variation only through pragmatic decisionsIdeas for projects come from both researchers and funding sources. SECOE also maintains a research agenda of prioritized, important topics that are looking for funding and/or researchers.
Currently active projects are:
- 98-03 Design Methods Comparison
- 99-01 SE Case Studies
- 01-03 Value of SE
- 01-05 Developing Methodology for Advanced System Testing (SysTest)
- 02-02 Impact of Systems Engineering at NASA
- 03-03 COSYSMO
- 04-02 Prototype Educational Tools for Systems and Software Engineering
- 04-03 Systems Engineering Glossary
