Chapter Events

Join us for our 13 May 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:

Presenter: Marco Forlingieri

Topic: MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success

Abstract: Join us for the presentation as Marco presents a clear and concise guide to MBPLE, with industrial case studies described in his book. Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) is the only theoretical and practical foundational book on MBPLE that brings together the topics of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and feature-based product line engineering (PLE). It examines how PLE can benefit from a model-based and model-centric approach and, in turn, how MBSE combined with holistic PLE can boost model reuse and improve the MBSE business case.

The book combines both management and engineering aspects to deliver comprehensive coverage of the subject and real-life challenges and implementations of MBPLE, discussing adoption obstacles faced by engineering organizations and how to overcome them to ensure a successful MBPLE deployment.

Bio:  Marco Forlingieri is Senior Director for PLE Services at PTC, leading worldwide the PLE technical services, with several years of experience in PLE and MBSE domains across Asia, Europe and US. He is also chair of the INCOSE PLE International Working Group and leading author of the book “MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success”.

INCOSE Academic Equivalency recognized for the University of Alabama in Huntsville

SAN DIEGO (14 June 2021) – The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) proudly announces the Academic Equivalency award for the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The University of Alabama in Huntsville is closely associated with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and their ISE 327 and ISE 328 course help students to prove their knowledge of systems engineering. INCOSE awarded this equivalency in August 2020.

With this equivalency in place, students who demonstrate systems engineering knowledge through approved coursework will not have to take the INCOSE Knowledge Exam to certify. This knowledge demonstration is key in achieving both ASEP and CSEP certifications making this equivalency a great benefit to the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Kerry Lunney, INCOSE President stated “It is great to have this collaboration between University of Alabama and INCOSE. Academic equivalency recognizes knowledge of the INCOSE systems engineering handbook as assessed during university coursework. Both new engineers and those with more experience benefit from knowing the standard definitions and processes in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, and Academic Equivalency can be used toward both ASEP and CSEP certification requirements.”
