This webinar explains INCOSE’s Academic Equivalency (AcEq) Program and provides guidance to universities interested in having their systems engineering coursework recognized as an alternative to the INCOSE certification knowledge exam. Academic Equivalency allows students who successfully complete approved university courses and assessments to satisfy the knowledge requirement for ASEP or CSEP certification without separately taking the INCOSE knowledge exam.
The presentation focuses on what universities need to demonstrate when applying for Academic Equivalency, particularly how their curriculum and assessments align with the knowledge and learning objectives contained in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook. Universities must document course content, assessments, syllabi, and mappings showing that students are being evaluated on the appropriate systems engineering knowledge. The webinar is primarily a practical guide for faculty members and university administrators seeking to establish an Academic Equivalency relationship with INCOSE.
