Abstract. This paper proposes a suitable framework for consideration of the
elements of Systems Engineering. A framework is necessary due to
the breadth, complexity and interrelationships that exist within the Systems
Engineering discipline. Current frameworks such as those contained in engineering
standards necessarily contain complexity, terminology and detail to guide Systems
Engineers. However these attributes make them less than ideal for
the delivery of education and training. The Systems Engineering Body
of Knowledge (SEBOK) framework proposed in this paper divides Systems
Engineering into Systems Engineering Processes, Systems Engineering Management, Systems Engineering
Tools and Related Disciplines. The SEBOK framework has been tested
through the development and delivery of two courses of study;
an introductory course and a practitioners course. Initial feedback from
both courses indicates that the SEBOK is an effective framework
for the consideration of Systems Engineering.
