The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE; pronounced /ɛn-koʊsi/) is a not-for-profit membership organization and professional society in the field of systems engineering with about 21,000 members and associates[1] including individual, corporate, and student members. INCOSE's main activities include conferences, publications, local chapters, certifications and technical working groups.
The INCOSE International Symposium is usually held in July, and the INCOSE International Workshop is held in the United States or Europe in January.
Currently, there are about 70 local INCOSE chapters globally with most chapters outside the United States representing entire countries, while chapters within the United States represent cities or regions.
INCOSE organizes about 55 technical working groups with international membership, aimed at collaboration and the creation of INCOSE products, printed and online, in the field of Systems engineering. There are working groups for topics within systems engineering practice, systems engineering in particular industries and systems engineering's relationship to other related disciplines.
INCOSE produces two main periodicals: the journal,[2] and the practitioner magazine,[3] and a number of individual published works, including the INCOSE Handbook.[4] In collaboration with the IEEE Systems Society[5] and the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC)/Steven Institute of Technology,[6] INCOSE produces and maintains the online Systems Engineering Book of Knowledge (SEBoK)],[7] a wiki-style reference open to contributions from anyone, but with content controlled and managed by an editorial board.
INCOSE certifies systems engineers through its three-tier certification process,[8] which requires a combination of education, years of experience and passing an examination based on the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.[4]
INCOSE is a member organization of the Federation of Enterprise Architecture Professional Organizations (FEAPO), a worldwide association of professional organizations formed to advance the discipline of Enterprise Architecture.
