Welcome to the new season of Maple Café!
We meet every other Friday at 8:00 am US Pacific for an impromptu forum, with suggested topics to get the conversation started. While INCOSE is hosting these cafes for the Systems Engineering community, they are open to the public — invite your friends!
To keep things a little more organized this year (and give the moderators an occasional break!), we are now running in five-month "seasons" with a short break between. After everyone's help brainstorming before Christmas, we have a great set of topics lined up:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January 13: Engineering Builds Character
Share your stories of revisiting old projects from when you were young and foolish.
January 27: Career pathways
What does it mean to be a junior / journey / senior SE? Are there better divisions?
February 10: Technical Leadership
February 24: "What do you *want*?!"
Requirements elicitation advice and commiseration
March 10: Unwritten Laws of Engineering
Read/summarize King & Skakoon’s classic advice, and discuss whether there are any new laws
(With special guest!)

April 7: Career Pathways
How do you jump to SE from other engineering disciplines? What skills are most important to start?
