Welcome to the INCOSE Singapore Chapter Website.
Strategically sited at the cross-roads of the East and West, uniquely Singapore has adapted the best engineering practices of the West and East to successfully implement large scale systems engineering and social projects in education, transportation, defence, health, housing, among others, to satisfy the diverse needs of Singapore’s population and visitors.
Several enthusiastic engineers and academics in 2006 decided to form a local chapter of INCOSE to promote systems engineering awareness and practices among Singaporeans and people in the region. They garnered enough support over a six-month from June 2006 to set up the INCOSE Singapore Chapter, had it registered with the Singapore Government and then obtained the INCOSE Charter by February 2007.
Singapore Chapter’s acid test came in March 2007 when it, in conjunction with the Australia Chapter, successfully organised INCOSE’s first regional conference – the Asia-Pacific Systems Engineering Conference 2007 - at Singapore and Adelaide, Australia over two consecutive weeks. Besides launching the series of Asia-Pacific conferences, this was a landmark event as it was the first dual-site conference with three distant video-tele presentations from Korea and USA. Re-branded as the Asia-Pacific Conference On Systems Engineering (APCOSE), the 2nd APCOSE was held in Yokohama, Japan in September 2008.
Our Chapter then set eyes at the international scene. In mid-2007, our Chapter together with other Chapters from Region VI won the honour of hosting INCOSE’s 19th International Symposium in Singapore in July 2009. Held in conjunction with the 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Systems Engineering, this 19th International Symposium would be INCOSE’s first annual symposium on Asian soil. We look forward to your participation in this International Symposium… see you in Singapore this July.
Thank you.
