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.

Press Release: International Symposium Best Paper award announced<br><br> in the Modeling Simulation and Analysis Category

Jun 29, 2022, 12:48 PM by Christine Kowalski

Press Release

SAN DIEGO (28 Jun 2022) – INCOSE is pleased to announce that the best paper award in the modeling, simulation and analysis category has been presented to Jeremy Ross, Chris Craft, Chris Caron, Stephen Pien, and Ashishkumar Prajapati of the Ford Motor Company and Michael Vinarcik from the University of Detroit Mercy for their paper, Applying Model-Based Systems Engineering Methods to a Novel Shard Systems Simulation Methodology.

The paper discusses the application of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methods to the definition of a shared systems architecture. It offers a novel methodology for extending the model-based approach from the system definition space into the system simulation and analysis domain. It presents an approach for the interface management of design properties between a model-based architecture and system simulation. The effectiveness of the methodology was assessed with trade study simulations of a novel human lunar habitat architecture.  

149 papers were submitted for consideration by INCOSE for the International Symposium. All papers were subjected to a rigorous selection process including a double-blind review by experts from the systems engineering disciplines to ensure that papers meet the high standards required for the largest worldwide annual gathering of systems engineering professionals.

A further review by Technical Operations leadership selects the best papers from the 75 papers selected for the symposium, which are then presented to the Technical Director who finalizes the 4-6 best paper choices.

Chris Hoffman, INCOSE Technical Director says, “The authors should be proud of this significant achievement. I continue to be impressed by the quality of the papers that are submitted and I can’t stress how significant it is within the systems engineering community to be a recipient of one of the best paper awards at our International Symposium.”

Jeremy Ross, one of the authors says, “It was a privilege to present our paper at the International Symposium and to share our ideas with a globally diverse audience of our peers. To be recognized as one of best papers at the symposium is an honor and as a team we are delighted to receive this recognition.”

The INCOSE International Symposium is taking place in Detroit from June 25-30 with the theme of The Power of Connection, and features experts in aerospace, energy, healthcare, transportation, the Internet of Things, AI, and Cyber-Physical Systems.

The annual symposium attracts an international mix of professionals at all levels, including practitioners in government and industry, as well as educators and researchers. Attendees include representatives from BAE Systems, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, GE, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, Medtronic, Network Rail, Roche, Rolls-Royce and many more.

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.
