1. November Meeting Systems Engineering Certification Adding value to you and your organization Speaker: Michael Mobley Boeing Systems Engineer INCOSE Certified Systems Engineer Date & Location: 10 November 2011, Boeing Building 305 Conf Rm 190C Brown Bag Lunch / Presentation: 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Abstract: Certification is a formal process whereby a community of knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled representatives of an organization, such as INCOSE, provides formal recognition that a person has achieved competency in specific areas (demonstrated by education, experience, and knowledge). Certification differs from licensing in that licenses are permissions granted by a government entity for a person to practice within its regulatory boundaries. Certification also differs from a "certificate" that documents the successful completion of a training or education program. Certification adds value to you as a systems engineer and to your organization.
