Meeting Description:
Dear Members, Friends, & Colleagues, please join us for our monthly general membership In-Person meeting. This month our featured Speaker is Dr. Erika Palmer. Speaker Bio: Dr. Erika Palmer is the Director of Technical Products and Services at the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Dr. Palmer's research and teaching at Cornell University has focused on sociotechnical systems including the modeling and simulation of policy systems across domain applications with an emphasis on ethics at the intersection of technology and society. She is the founding chair of the Social Systems Working Group at INCOSE and has held leadership roles in Empowering Women Leaders in Systems Engineering (EWLSE). Abstract: Partnering for the Future of Systems Engineering” explores the dynamic landscape of the Future of Systems Engineering (FuSE) initiative, specifically designed to refine and evolve the Systems Engineering (SE) Vision 2035 across competencies, research, tools & environment, practices, and applications. FuSE serves as a catalyst for innovation, identifying critical gaps hindering the realization of the SE Vision 2035 and initiating and supporting relevant actions to bridge these gaps. Central to FuSE’s mission is the fostering of involvement and collaboration both within and outside the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). The initiative actively engages in education, sharing success stories, and expanding its influence to create a vibrant ecosystem for systems engineering development. The talk emphasizes FuSE’s proactive approach in searching for new subject matter experts to contribute to its 2025 project portfolio. It invites professionals to join the initiative, fostering an inclusive community that thrives on diverse expertise. Furthermore, the presentation underscores FuSE’s keen interest in establishing partnerships for projects related to systems engineering for energy transitions. The collaboration seeks to address the challenges of transitioning to sustainable energy systems, emphasizing the importance of collective efforts in shaping the future of systems engineering. Attendees will gain insights into FuSE’s vision, mission, and the opportunities available for collaboration in driving the evolution of systems engineering practices.
