*[Abstract] *This seminar intends to foster the awareness of Systems
Engineering and introduce the International Council for Systems Engineering
Systems Engineering (INCOSE) to the SDSU community of faculty and students.
Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that offers systematic
approaches to engineering and engineering management, focusing on how to
design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.
Systems engineering cuts across all areas of sciences, including
mechanical, electrical, information technology, aerospace, medical
sciences, and many others.

INCOSE is a professional organization connecting systems engineers
throughout the world. Approximately 17,000 members strong, INCOSE promotes
the exchange of systems engineering knowledge and techniques to solve
challenging problems across industry, government and academia. INCOSE has
74 chapters in 35 countries (42 in the USA), and over 50 specialized
working groups covering a wide variety of interests, from Automotive
systems and Space Systems, to Social Systems and Model Based Systems
Engineering (MBSE). With numerous national and international presentations
and conferences, educational, networking, and career-advancement
opportunities abound. INCOSE also offers professional certification via
their multi-level professional Systems Engineering Professional (SEP)
certifications program.

The SDSU Department of Aerospace Engineering and the San Diego Chapter of
INCOSE are planning to form an INCOSE student chapter at San Diego State
University, with the intent of offering SDSU students and professors the
opportunity to engage with the INCOSE systems engineering community, and
participate in Systems Engineering presentations and socials. In addition
to promoting the awareness of the discipline of Systems Engineering, this
seminar also intends to encourage SDSU faculty and students to get involved
in Systems Engineering activities.
