Program Abstract
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The presentation focuses on the details and status of the INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering
Professional (CSEP) Program. The INCOSE CSEP is one of the most important priorities for the
society management and members. A Working Group, led by INCOSE Past President John Clouet,
has been diligently working on the CSEP details, plans, requirements, and implementation. The
Working Group, in concert with the INCOSE Board of Directors (BOD) and an external consulting
psychometric company, have developed a set of candidate examinations and requirements for
individual professional certification. The Working Group continues to work detail requirements in
a submitted Operational Plan to be considered by the BOD at the International Working Group
(IW04) in Portland. The presentation reviews salient CSEP features and the current status to
assist and inform SFBAC membership.
