MOU Combines Each Organization’s Expertise to Enhance Value and Learning for Members

WARRENDALE, Pa. (September 21, 2021) – SAE International announced today the renewed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the world’s largest organization dedicated to systems engineering. The partnership between two of the most respected engineering standards organizations offers industry professionals access to a comprehensive suite of tools, combining SAE’s technical mobility expertise with INCOSE’s systems management expertise.

The partnership allows members of each individual organization to engage with one another for a more robust experience by affording professional growth opportunities through work on common projects and challenges, including the development and promotion of best practices and guidance as well as trainings and materials that can support projects and organizations throughout the world.

“Our partnership with INCOSE allows both organizations the opportunity to knowledge share and develop best practices to advance the field of systems engineering across mobility,” said Chris Ciuca, vice president of programs at SAE International. “We look forward to our continued partnership with INCOSE and growth in the years ahead.”

Through collaborative efforts among the organizations, members can network with their peers, share communities, partnerships and working groups, and have access to technical publications, webinars and conferences. The scope of the partnership focuses on collaboration between the organizations through networking, community, partner and working group sharing, co-publication, webinars, conferences and more.

Kerry Lunney, INCOSE president, 2019-2021, added: “The alliance between INCOSE and SAE provides great opportunity for all our members to bring diverse ideas and practices to our collaborations. Together we can tackle new challenges, advance our practices, and learn from the wide breadth of skills, domains, research and experiences that jointly we bring.”

As part of the agreement, members of either organization now have access to a discount for joining the other organization. For more information about INCOSE or to join its growing community of systems engineers, visit www.incose.org. To learn more about SAE International, visit www.sae.org.
