Thompson Okanagan Section Chapter

The IEEE Systems Council Thompson Okanagan Section Chapter is a local unit of the IEEE Systems Council, established to promote the understanding and advancement of systems engineering across British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan region.

The Systems Council brings together IEEE’s expertise across multiple disciplines and specialty areas, including but not limited to:

• Systems engineering education, standards, and methodologies
• Modelling, simulation, integration, and system resilience
• Robust design, safety, human factors, usability, and environmental considerations
• Security and assurance (Quality, Mission, Risk)
• Requirements development and management
• Systems architecture and systems-of-systems
• Product lifecycle transitions: design, production, testing, deployment, and disposal
• Program and project management

Chapter Mission

• Build a strong, interdisciplinary Systems Engineering community in British Columbia, Canada
• Enhance systems engineering knowledge for senior students in colleges and universities
• Support graduate students with advanced systems engineering insights and opportunities
• Serve as a regional hub connecting Canadian systems engineers with global initiatives and markets

Chapter Goal

To increase awareness, knowledge, and engagement in Systems Engineering throughout the Thompson Okanagan region.
