The Latest Chapter Happenings
Zane Scott, ASEP, VP for Professional Services at Vitech Corporation, will explore the first principles of the systems thinking leg of systems engineering and talk about the fundamental understanding of systems and how we think in a truly new way. We will consider how systems thinking is a real paradigm shift from the reductionist version of the scientific method that is the basis of much of our education. We will see how the application of this thinking leads us to realize the power of “real” systems engineering!
Upcoming Events to Consider
UMBC Training Centers has teamed with SE Scholar and developed a unique approach to teaching the INCOSE SE Handbook. The new method contextualizes the Organizational, Project and Technical processes necessary to realize a “System-of-Interest", and with the aid of a comprehensive Process Flow diagram, our Instructor walks the students from the Project Portfolio Process through to the Disposal Process in a logical and sequential manner.
