The AI team takes a deep dive into the 15 INCOSE Systems Engineering Principles and an iterative Agentic AI analysis of those principles. The AI team critique INCOSE for not defining principles, but stating ‘so-called’ principles as “transcendent truths” that explicitly avoid “how-to” methods, effectively turning engineering into philosophy. True engineering principles, such as Ohm’s Law, must be mathematical, predictive, and falsifiable. An analysis of the language in the 15 principles found that 89% of … Continue reading

So what should we be teaching systems engineers and project managers?

In my previous blog I pointed out that one of the reasons for project failures was that we were not teaching the right things to systems engineers and project managers.  This leads to the question, what should we be teaching them? If you ask most systems engineers as to what the system they are developing should do once it is placed into operation, they will tell you to look at the requirements. So when I … Continue reading
