Systems Engineering Competency Expectations, Gaps, and Program Analysis

“…This project uses the systems engineering competency taxonomy developed by the Systems Engineering Education Ecosystem project (Wade, 2021) which based on a thorough review of existing systems engineering and engineering competency frameworks (DAU, 2016;Gelosh, 2018;Hutchison, 2018;NASA, 2020), interviews with industry, and anticipation of the future needs of the discipline. Rather than defining what is and isn't systems engineering, this is a broad framework that includes competencies from Industrial, Manufacturing, Systems Engineering, Project Management, and Operations Research, etc.…”

“…To address this issue, the Systems Engineering Education Ecosystem (SEEE) was established to create and assess the feedback mechanisms by which educators, students and employers can communicate their specific educational capabilities, desires and needs, in order to provide the dynamic feedback necessary to accelerate the evolution of Systems Engineering (SE) educational programs, clearly communicate the characteristics of existing programs, provide access to relevant educational materials, and create a dynamic self-evolving educational system. (Wade, 2021) The objective of this work is to use the SE competency framework developed by the SEEE project to review the competency needs of University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) systems engi-neering sponsoring organizations and analyze the curricula of the current Architecture-Based Systems Engineering (AESE) master's program. The analysis of this data will be used to update and improve the current AESE program as well as assist in the creation and development of specializations in this program that are targeted to a different set of student demographics and engineering systems of interest.…”

Closed‐Loop Dynamically Adaptive Educational Systems

“…After a thorough review of existing systems engineering and engineering competency frameworks, interviews with industry, and anticipation of the future needs of the discipline [5][6][7][8][9] , this research has tailored a systems engineering taxonomy 4 that is a superset of the INCOSE Systems Engineering proficiency framework 9 . An iterative approach will be taken to update and modify this framework based on data gained through prototyping exercises with the three stakeholder groups.…”

“…Underlying the collaborative effort is a desire, while preserving the uniqueness of systems engineering programs that speak to particular varieties of students and professions, to enhance commonality among programs where it is beneficial, and establish a dynamic interactive community thereby enhancing the value of all the programs. The development of this site is currently being sponsored by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) under the Systems Engineering Education Ecosystem (SEEE) project and will be in place by the spring of 2022 4 .…”

Enabling the Systems Engineering Education Ecosystem (SEEE)

“…The vision of the Systems Engineering Education Ecosystem SEEE project is to create a collaborative ecosystem in which systems engineering students and practitioners can self-evaluate their SE competency proficiencies, compare these to their desired professional positions, and determine the graduate educational programs and materials that are most appropriate for their developments (Wade et al, 2021). Educators can interact with SE employer partners to determine their needs, and with other academic institutions to compare program objectives that can direct their program evolution to enhance educational impact.…”
