Abstract. This paper describes the work of an INCOSE UK Advisory Board working group set up to define the set of Core Competencies for Systems Engineering. The development of complex products (systems) demands a broad range of competencies from its system engineering resource. An agreed set of core competences would allow individuals and enterprises to establish an effective, transferable portfolio of skills, which can be deployed in systems projects. Such a set of core competences will also provide a framework for education/training and assessment. The working group recognized that in addition to core competencies, Supporting Techniques, Basic Skills and Behaviours and Domain Knowledge are important. This paper offers a set of core competencies for Systems Engineering and guidance on how to use them.
