2. Oct 16th Monthly Meeting 2008 Presenting “Standards and Systems Engineering Certification” with Randy Case • Chapter Meeting Location: • WebEx • See http://www.incose.org/ntexas/meeting.asp for details • 5:30 pm CDT - Networking • 5:50 pm CDT - Brief Chapter Meeting • 6:00 pm CDT - Guest Speaker Meeting Topic Abstract Did you know that there is a tight coupling between systems engineering standards and the INCOSE Systems Engineering Certification? Unless you have spent some time looking at systems engineering standards, it is unlikely that this coupling was obvious to you. In this talk, we will touch on what standards are of interest to INCOSE, what standards drive the systems engineering handbook, and how the handbook is used as a basis of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Certification. Randy Case Randy Case is the Chief Systems Architect and Lead Systems Engineer for a large strategic pursuit within Raytheon. He is also the chair of the Systems Technical Network with Raytheon. Before that, Randy was the North Texas Systems Engineering Center Director for Raytheon’s Network Centric Systems (NCS) business, managing nearly 200 Systems Engineers, Specialty Engineers, and Scientists. He was the Technical Area Director (TAD) at Raytheon for Architectures and Systems Integration for 2003-2004. Previously to the TAD position, he was the architect of the Raytheon Integrated Product Development System (IPDS). He was the Lead Systems Engineer for IPDS, and the lead engineer on two programs and has worked as an engineer on a number of programs both large and small, defense and commercial related. He has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. He is the head of the INCOSE Standards Technical Committee, and has contributed to a number of systems-related standards. He is also a senior member of IEEE.
