Future of Systems Engineering (FuSE) is an initiative dedicated to advancing systems engineering. The goal? To inspire the global community to realize INCOSE’s Systems Engineering Vision 2035.

To achieve this, FuSE’s mission is to advance the SE Vision across competencies, research, tools and environment, practices, and applications. In doing so, FuSE aims to identify critical gaps, support appropriate actions, and encourage participation and collaboration both within and outside of INCOSE.

Over the past few months, a new and more open framework has been established. The international INCOSE IW workshop in January was used to introduce the “new” FuSE and invite the community to become part of it.

We took the opportunity to talk to some of the FuSE leaders about their vision for the future of systems engineering.

William D. Miller

The FuSE Program is divided into a total of four streams: Vision and Roadmaps, Foundations, Methodologies, and Application Extension. William D. Miller is the FuSE Program Lead.

Christopher Hoffman

Chris Hoffman is the Stream Lead for “SE Methodologies.” This stream focuses primarily on the further development of methods and tools for the effective development of systems tailored to specific purposes.

Tom Strandberg

Tom Strandberg is the Stream Lead for “SE Application Extensions.” This stream integrates the social sciences, soft systems, and initiatives such as smart cities, with the goal of addressing grand challenges and meeting societal needs.

If you would like to learn more about FuSE and get involved in the future of systems engineering, you have the opportunity to do so—at events, meetings, and webinars. You can find the latest information here: https://www.incose.org/about-systems-engineering/fuse
