16th Annual INCOSE Region II Fall Mini-Conference
Systems Engineering: The Bridge between the Aerospace and Medical Industries
General Information
DATE: Saturday, November 19, 2011
8:00am to 4:00pm
LOCATION: National University’s La Jolla Facility
11355 N. Torrey Pines Road
San Diego, CA 92037
Attend this day of stimulating thought and discussion centered around the questions: How is classical Systems Engineering applied to the aerospace and medical industries (e.g., design requirements, verification, validation). Do these industries have similar or different approaches to SE and what can they learn from each other. The medical industry and FDA have recently come under fire for allowing unsafe products on the market – can SE help improve the safety, efficacy and quality of medical products? All are welcome.
