Using the INCOSE Systems Engineering Competency Framework

Abstract

This article provides examples for using the INCOSE Systems Engineering Competency Framework in practice. Background information is summarized, competency model tailoring is explained, and four usage scenarios are presented. The usage scenarios demonstrate how employers use the framework and assessment guide. The four usage scenarios are job candidate recruitment, individual competency assessment, job description tailoring for an engineering job that needs systems engineering competencies, and job description tailoring for a systems engineering job requiring an update for model-based systems engineering and digital engineering competencies. All scenarios are based on those included in the Systems Engineering Competency Assessment Guide.
