How Libraries Stay Relevant with 3D Printing, Laser Engraving, etc.

Presenter: Cullen Dansby

Abstract: Libraries are not just for checking out books. Today’s libraries offer many resources to their patrons. Resources include movies for education and entertainment, music, tools to learn new languages, online magazines, and job search resources. The Benbrook Public library also has a MakerSpace. MakerSpace is a space just for you to create practically whatever you can dream. For the young ones – and the young at heart we have an array of creative tools that are all available for you for in-house use at the Library. We have tons of great software – including Photoshop, Garage Band, SketchUP and hardware including PolyPrinter 3D Printer, The Zing Laser Engraver, Little Bits Kits, Extra Large Digital Sketch pad, Snap Circuits Extreme, LEGO Mindstorms, Akai Professional MPD18 USB MIDI Pad Controller, Line 6 Pocket POD Guitar Multi Effects Processor, Alesis Q49 USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller, Squier Bullet Strat with Tremolo, and Silhouette Cameo Shape Cutter. Cullen will talk to us about 3D printers and laser engravers.

Enabling Repeatable SE Cost Estimation with COSYSMO and MBSE

Presenter: Barry Papke, Director of Professional Services for No Magic Inc.

Abstract:In their paper on “A Generalized Systems Engineering Reuse Framework and Its Cost Estimating Relationships,” (Wang, Roedler, et al. 2014) present an approach for estimation of systems engineering effort that extends the COSYSMO equation to account for the effort associated with Design With Reuse and Design For Reuse classification categories in the Generalized Reuse Framework. Implementation of this approach for cost estimation clearly depends on two critical items: (1) the ability to accurately and consistently count the size drivers; and (2) the ability to calibrate the model equation. As part of future work, they also describe the potential to use this approach as a management tool in architecture development – “a cataloging mechanism in organizing components of reference architecture.” This paper presents a practical implementation of the COSYSMO cost estimating relationship through extension of a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) modeling environment with SysML for estimating end-to-end systems engineering effort in developing a system. The approach provides a new way of rapidly creating cost estimates, conducting cost-based analysis and trade studies with full traceability from the cost estimation parameters back to the architecture of referenced system of interest.

Overview of ISO 15288 and INCOSE Certification Program

Presenter: Octavio Castellanos and Yvonne Bijan

Abstract: Did you know Systems Engineering has an ISO standard? To get caught up on Systems Engineering ISO standard and the INCOSE certification program, don't miss our May meeting. We'll get an overview of ISO 15288 from Octavio. We'll also be hearing about the INCOSE certification process and an upcoming paper based exam. Are you already certified? Do you already know all about Systems Engineering? Come and share your knowledge and experiences with others. Our meetings are a networking opportunity to connect with fellow Industry folks as well as meet the chapter board.

Bio: Octavio Castellanos is a Lockheed Martin (LM) Systems Engineer under Aero’s Engineering and Technology (E&T) Systems Engineering (SE) organization, as well as an Adjunct SE Professor at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). His most recent assignments include LRIP Lead and CAM for F-35 Test and Verification; EVMS Lead and Project Engineer for Finance & Business Operations (F&BO); and Systems Engineer for F-35 Verification and Analysis. Octavio chairs the Rotation Advisory Board as a graduating participant of LM’s prestigious Advanced Technical Leadership Program (ATLP). His SE experience includes working the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) for the APT T-50 Platform; breaking ground in the Aerospace industry developing this first-time full conformant SEMP to ISO-IEC-IEE 15288. The depth of his SE experience is in SE Integration and Verification where he led the verification and closure of contractual requirements in support of the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract during the System Development phase of the F35 Program. Octavio is also a Corporate LM Chem/Bio NExpert and a Technical Research Paper Reviewer for the National Association for Engineering Education (ASEE). During his graduate studies, he served as INCOSE/UTEP President under the New Mexico’s Enchantment Chapter of INCOSE (2010-2011). He currently holds a Masters degree in Systems Engineering from UTEP and an INCOSE CSEP certification.

Life Without Systems Engineering - Is It an Option?

Presenter: Kelly DeFazio, Professional Engineer, Director of F-35 Production/Producibility Engineering

Abstract: Systems Engineering is still a baby. Born around the 1940’s by Bell laboratories, as a result of their need for the system of products and industry in communication. Other traditional forms of engineering design as a science have been around for centuries upon centuries, so why is systems engineering so important now? NASA quickly adopted this new approach to engineering. They saw the need for integrating a system of systems in order to get a man to the moon and back to earth safely. So is Systems Engineering a technical solution need or just a government born project created to spread commerce across a varied team of contractors? Often, program management cuts this function off after completing the program’s Systems Requirements Review (SRR) treating systems engineering budget as a source of discretionary funds. After all, “the requirements are complete – now - on to hardcore design”, so why not cut systems engineering budget? Hmmmmm, is Systems Engineering really a requirement?

SAFe with MBSE for System Engineers by Peter Luckey

Abstract: It is only within the last five years that the Scaled Agile Framework has accommodated Systems Engineering. A focus of the accommodation is on incorporating Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) into the Framework.

更多

Here we introduce a particular way to use MBSE in the context of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). We want to iteratively build a model of the system in order to compose the Requirements Specification and identify the Features to be built in successive Program Increments (PIs). That is, it in a nutshell. The model is built in a set of workshops prior to and during each PI.

Workshops are face-to-face meetings, for primarily the Architects and Systems Engineers, that create a shared understanding across customers, users, domain experts, product owners and teams. Along with the System Engineers, these other groups will have representation in the workshops. They record system structure, behavior, and information decisions in SysML using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. The workshops align everyone on a common approach to building a solution while discovering and driving work in the agile backlog.

Bio: Peter Luckey, a Senior Solutions Consultant at 321 Gang, is a Certified Scrum Master and a Certified SAFe Program Consultant (4.5). He received his master's degree in computer science from Purdue University. Peter began his professional career in IBM's Federal Systems Division as a programmer and then became the manager of IBM's Rational Software Development Environment. Concurrently, Peter worked as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the State University of New York Binghamton teaching software engineering and publishing a number of papers on the subject. Since joining Rational, Peter has been involved in selling and supporting Rational, now IBM, tools and the processes supported by these tools. These processes include topics such as Agile, MBSE, and SAFe. Recently, Peter has also become Certified relative to Polarion/ALM.
