International Council On Systems Engineering

Membership:new skills are attained and skills can be honed though several of incose's venues. The annual international symposium features papers, panel presentations, and tutorials. It is also one of the two times each year when our technical committees and working groups meet in person. The annual international workshop is the other event. Regional conferences hosted by chapters offer a shorter venue and are attractive to those interested in less travel and expense. Most chapters regularly hold meetings featuring speakers on interesting topics. Tutorials have become a mainstay activity sponsored by chapters and are an excellent value. The quarterly publication insight features a theme topic in each issue. Recent themes have included fundamentals such as risk management and measurement.

Certification:certification is a formal process whereby a community of knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled representatives of an organization, such as incose, provides confirmation of an individual's competency (demonstrated knowledge, education, and experience) in a specified profession. Certification differs from licensing in that licenses are permissions granted by a government entity for a person to practice within its regulatory boundaries. Certification also differs from a "certificate" that documents the successful completion of a training or education program.
