Join us for our 8 July 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:
Presenter: Richard Beasley
Topic: Requirements Practice
Abstract: In this talk Richard Beasley will review various aspects of Requirements practice. This will essentially look at Systems Engineering from a requirements-filtered lens – looking at requirements as a key, foundational aspect of Systems Engineering, aspects of requirements elicitation including various common pitfalls and misunderstandings, and the integration of requirements understanding into the wider Systems Engineering information management and iterative approach.

Abstract:
The Los Angeles and San Diego chapters are hosting independent group study (‘cohort’) sessions for the INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) certification starting May 18th, 2023. These Cohorts will last 15 weeks and will help students prepare for the INCOSE SEP certification exam, which is based on the INCOSE Handbook. The Cohorts will study version 4 of the handbook.
TWO separate Cohorts are offered on Thursdays: one from 12 noon - 1:30pm, and another from 7 - 8:30pm, both Pacific Time. They will meet once a week. Registration is FREE, but please only register if you are serious about attending the sessions and passing the SEP exam. See the registration page for more details - thank you!
Note: Version 5 of the INCOSE Handbook will be released this summer. The SEP exam will only cover Version 4 material in 2023, so this is the last opportunity to take the exam based on Version 4.
