Reflecting on Systems Engineering in Practice
Abstract
Practitioners need reflection as one of the main tools to keep developing themselves, the so-called reflective practitioner. We explicitly teach the industry master students to reflect. For them this is an instrument to make the combination of working in a company (practice) and studying systems engineering at the university (theory) effective.
In this SESG, we have invited several alumni, and challenged them to look back at their master project from their current position in a company. In this way, we hope to explore how reflection is working in practice.
We have at least the following speakers:
- Dag Jostein Klever, Minox, master project at TechnipFMC in 2009, Industry Master
- Tone Lohndal Hogstad, KDA, master project at KA in 2010, Industry Master
- Frode Island Bergan, Semcon, master project at Semcon (then Devotek) in 2013, Part-time master
We asked them the following questions, which you may ask yourself as well :-):
- Do you now think that you were digging a rabbit hole when doing the master project? Or quite the reverse, was the master project in hindsight a hot topic that upto today is highly relevant?
- What are, in your current position, the main challenges where systems engineering is a crucial part of the solution?
- What did you learn after finishing the master that you like to share with your peers?
- and a meta question, how much do you use reflection as a means to develop? What helps you do so, or what keeps you from doing it?
