Abstract: Join us for everything you never knew you needed to know about the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK). The current Editor in Chief, Nicole Hutchison, will provide an overview of how the SEBoK came to be and how it's evolved over time. The presentation will also walk through how to navigate the SEBoK, what types of information you can find, and how you can use the SEBoK in your work and professional development. Nicole will highlight how to engage with the SEBoK as a user, reviewer, or even author.


Speaker: Dr. Nicole Hutchison's research focuses on workforce development. Prior to joining VTNSI, Nicole was a senior research scientist at the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC). She personally helped collect most of the data and conducted substantial analyses into skills, career paths, and personal enabling characteristics of systems engineers which comprised the Helix project. The work focused around career paths formed the basis of her dissertation. She has over 19 years of analytic and systems engineering experience. At the SERC, she has developed competency models in system, mission, and digital engineering and is currently working on a competency model in artificial intelligence. Nicole is currently the Editor in Chief of the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK). Prior to the SERC, she supported many branches of the federal government, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services through her prior role at analytic services (ANSER) in Virginia. She is a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) through INCOSE and has over three dozen publications on systems engineering. Nicole is proudly married to a US Army officer and they have two boys who keep them on their toes.
