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 Satuday, 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 (bill@kes1.net) or Carl Dister (carldister@ieee.org) for more information and to get involved.
The purpose of the Embedded Systems Certification Working Group is to work within the Chapter to establish INCOSE as a professional society that recognizes excellence in “Embedded Systems” Engineering, especially in the current era of Internet of Things interconnected as Systems of Systems with heightened importance of Cybersecurity practices from the Cloud to the Electronics. With a goal of establishing an INCOSE specialty certification, experts from the field of Embedded Systems can share the proven Systems Engineering model and how it applies to their work making complex systems of systems comprising one or many interconnected Internet of Things. The Working Group's Co-Chairs are Bob Scaccia and Roger Chaplin.
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.

Date: 26 September 2019 Topic: Systems Engineering Principles: Introduction and Basis Description: Systems engineering is based on a set of principles that define the approaches to take for a specific system and provide guidance on the implementation of the systems engineering processes. These principles are separate but dependent on system principles. This session will discuss the relationship between systems engineering principles and system principles, review the principles describing the basis of systems engineering, and reviewing the Hypotheses. (Principles 1, 2, 11, 15; Hypotheses 1, 2, 3) Date: 3 October 2019 Topic: Systems Engineering Principles: System Design and Integration Aspects Description: Short description: Systems engineering principles define the characteristics for the design and integration of systems. This focuses on the physical or logical (for information systems) aspects of the system, providing guidance on how to approach the engineering of a system throughout the system life cycle. (Principles 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) Date: 17 October 2019 Topic: Systems Engineering Principles: Social Aspects Description: Short description: Systems engineering deals not only with the system, but also the organizational system that develops or operates the system. The systems engineering principles provide guidance on the social aspects of integrating the different engineering and business disciplines in the development and operations of the system. (Principles 3, 4, 10, 12, 13, 14) Michael D. Watson is the INCOSE Systems Engineering Principles Action Team chair and co-chair of the Complex Systems Working Group. He is in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) System Engineering Office. He is leading the NASA Systems Engineering Technical Discipline Team Research and Technology efforts responsible for definition of elegant product focused systems engineering. He has served as the Space Launch System (SLS) Lead Discipline Engineer for Operations Engineering. He started his career with NASA developing International Space Station (ISS) operations capabilities. He also worked to develop remote operations support capabilities for the Spacelab Program in the United States, Europe, and Japan. He subsequently served as Chief of the Optics Branch responsible for the fabrication of large x-ray telescope mirrors, diffractive optics, and telescope systems. He served as Chief of the Integrated Systems Health Management (ISHM) and Sensors Branch and led a NASA team defining Vehicle Management System capabilities for human missions to Mars. His branch work included the definition of ISHM capabilities for the Ares family of launch vehicles. He graduated with a BSEE from the University of Kentucky in 1987 and obtained his MSE in Electrical and Computer Engineering (1996) and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2005) from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
