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.

Message from the President No. 3 – Continuing balance of events and meetings under COVID-19 constraints

Aug 20, 2021, 10:02 AM by Danielle DeRoche
Update on Events and Meetings from Kerry Lunney, INCOSE President.

Dear INCOSE Members,

It has been quite some time since I have written to you regarding our operations under the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are all still experiencing the impacts of the pandemic and subsequent adjustments to our lives, whether at home, at work or at school.  The only predictable aspect of it all is the ongoing resurgence of the level of transmission, in particular the Delta strain. This makes it extremely hard to plan and support events and meetings which we hoped to hold face-to-face, or in the form of a hybrid event, where there is a level of remote participation.

Over the coming months there are many INCOSE events that have been planned to be held physically.  Each of these events will need to be revisited in light of the virulent Delta transmission.  As such, I urge you to keep monitoring the situation for each event.

To all INCOSE members, please follow the guidance provided by your local and national  authorities, and the World Health Organisation (WHO).  We highly discourage any INCOSE related face-to-face meeting or event that does not respect such guidance.  The  decision to change the format from a physical or hybrid event or meeting, to a fully virtual experience, is at the sole discretion of the INCOSE organiser(s).

Likewise, we will not ask any INCOSE member or business associate to travel on INCOSE business and events that would be in contradiction to, or in violation of guidance from the recognised authorities.  This includes the conduct of paper exams for our Certification program.

We recognise these restrictions can be difficult and we truly would love to move forward with more face-to-face opportunities.  Nonetheless, we must proceed with caution and care for all our members, friends, associates, and partners.  For those events and meetings that may be altered to a fully virtual program, the advantages are still very good with greater outreach and collaboration opportunities, and we urge you to embrace this virtual world.

Lastly, I would like to thank all our INCOSE volunteers and members for their outstanding dedication and support throughout the year. INCOSE would not exist without you.

Keep well, keep safe.

Kerry Lunney

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.
