Colorado State University made a powerful impact at this year’s INCOSE International Symposium! Our students, faculty, alumni, and research partners delivered innovative research and dynamic presentations that advanced the field of systems engineering across aerospace, transportation, systems management, and more. Notable CSU contributions included: “The Art of Systems Thinking,” by Tami Katz “Enhancing Shared Understanding in Multidisciplinary Teams,” by Thomas Manley, Jen G., Evelyn Honore-Livermore, Hanish Mehta, and Sharad Rayguru. “Ontological definition of seamless digital engineering based on ISO/IEC 25000-series SQuaRE product quality model,” by James S. Wheaton and Daniel Herber “Towards a Digital Engineering Ontology to Support Information Exchange,” James Wheaton “Enterprise Architecting to Advance Reliability and Maintainability Decision-Making,” by Kyle Blond, Nathaniel Thompson, Steven Conrad, and Thomas Bradley “Systems Engineering with Attitude,” by Beth Wilson, Adam Williams, Luke Thomas, Daniel Sudmeier, Gary Stoneburner, Martin Span, Adam Scheuer, Barry Papke, Gerry Ourada, Richard Massey, Greg Leach, Mona Humes, and Mark Winstead “What would I see in court? A survey analysis of who Americans would blame for self-driving vehicle crashes and traffic violations,” and Eric Stewart and Erika Gallegos “Agile Systems Engineering of an Astronaut Digital Twin to Optimize Human Space Exploration,” Stephanie Anderson, ASEP (presenter), Caleb Schmidt, Tom Paterson, Michael Schmidt and Steve Simske “Methodology for Evaluating a Digital Architecture in Terms of Systems Engineering Lifecycle Using Variables in the Context of Digital Twin,” by Claribel Wendling “AI outperforms 60 SE graduates in creating causal loop diagram of janis group think phenomenon,” by Kirk Reinholtz and Kamran Eftekhari-Shahroudi “Integration of Agile and Systems Engineering to Deliver Safety-Critical Cyber-Physical Systems,” by Robin Yeman (PhD) “Integrating Digital Engineering Needs into Physics-based Modeling and Simulation for Aircraft Power and Thermal Systems,” by Daniel Herber, Dominic Dierker, Brian Raczkowski, Nathaniel Butt, and Soumya Patnaik. “Robust Testing and Simulation Frameworks for Artificial Intelligence Systems in Spacecraft Operations,” by Stephanie Anderson and Steve Simske “The Three Fundamental Questions: A Minimal Complete Framework of Systems Engineering,” Christian Sprague and Graeme Troxell We’re proud to see Ram engineering represented on the global stage, pushing boundaries and shaping the future of systems thinking. Thank you to INCOSE for the great event!
