Welcome to The Cleveland-Northern Ohio Chapter

Welcome to the home of the Cleveland-Northern Ohio chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).  Come, join us as we explore the application of Systems Engineering to solve complex problems.  We seek to attract participation from the entire northern Ohio region, and build a robust organization that interacts in practical ways with local industry, government, and academia.

Chapter Supported Projects

SySTEAM Initiative

INCOSE Cleveland Chapter participated in a SySTEAM event in northeast Ohio in conjunction with the NSBE's STEM initiatives - https://www.nsbe.org/.  The event was held at CWRU on Saturday, December 9, 2023.  INCOSE members from NASA, Vitamix, and Klinger Engineering Services volunteered their time.  Vitamix sponsored a breakfast and engaged the students by having them perform demonstrations with blenders.  Anyone interested in helping out with future activities, please contact Bill Klinger or Carl Dister by reaching out to the Chapter for more information and to get involved.

Community Resilience

For the past few years, the Chapter has supported members involved with the ReliabilityFirst and the Ohio State University Extension project to help communities become more resilient. The Project applies a proven systems-engineering appraisal framework to communities in an effort to benchmark current resilience efforts and highlight areas for improvement.  See the flyer (linked here) for details on the project, methods utilized, and expected results.  For more information reach out to the listed contacts, or visit the project page on the ReliabilityFirst website (linked here).

 

Past Regional Events

2023 Energy & Mobility Conference & Expo

The mission of The Energy & Mobility Conference & Expo is to draw together the brightest minds of today to address the challenges of tomorrow, in particular the need to transition to more sustainable and efficient energy sources. This transition will have ripple effects that radiate throughout the technology, systems and value chain infrastructure, creating unprecedented challenges and opportunities for those with an eye to the future. If you want to be a part of that future, join us in Cleveland to learn about the latest advancements in the fields of energy and mobility, while taking advantage of the opportunity to network and collaborate with industry leaders.

New SE Standard Available for Download

Dec 8, 2004, 00:00 AM by INCOSE UMS
The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) - the primary source of standards for the European Space Agency - has released version B of their system engineering standard. This 174 page revision is a significant expansion of the original 66 page version published in 1996. This document is free and available from the ECSS website.

ECSS-E-10B "Space engineering - System engineering - Part 1: Requirements and process (18 November 2004)
 
Scope
The purpose of this Standard is to lead the actors of the “customer-system-supplier model” (as described in 4.1.2) through the development of systems (including hardware, software, man-in-the-loop, facilities and services) for space applications. It
specifies system engineering implementation requirements for space systems and space products development.
 
The objectives of this Standard are as follows:
  • To assist in defining, performing, managing, and evaluating system engineering efforts to ensure that the programme has a firm organizational basis, able to minimize technical risk due to uncertain understanding of delegated technical responsibilities.
  • To facilitate minimization of cost by defining essential system engineering tasks, their objectives and their organization.
  • To incorporate the key aspects of the space standardization initiatives to improve capture requirements, implement multi-disciplinary team-work including suppliers, establish the requirements at an early stage in the process, focus on process control rather than inspection, and encourage overall risk management rather than risk avoidance.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements specified in this Standard should be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.
NOTE Tailoring is a process by which individual requirements of specifications, standards and related documents are evaluated and made applicable to a specific project, by selection and in some exceptional cases, modifications of existing or addition of new requirements. [ECSS-M-00-02A, Clause 3]
The series E set of standards deal with engineering.  There is also a series M for Management and series Q for Quality.

Chapter Circle Awards

The Cleveland-Northern Ohio Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) began organizing activities during the latter part of 2007, and received charter status from INCOSE during January 2008. As a result of our activities that first year, we received the Bronze level Chapter Circle Award.  We have received a Chapter Circle Award every year since.
