In 2016, INCOSE leadership asked the INCOSE Fellows to initiate a study to compare the current INCOSE definition of Systems Engineering (SE) with the aspirations set out in the SE Vision 2025. The SE Fellows Definition Committee created a SE Worldviews survey to investigate current perceptions of INCOSE members. Analysis of Results for the Systems Engineering Worldviews Survey (July 2017) contains an analysis of the results summarized and aggregated into five broad questions as follows: 1. What is Systems Engineering (SE)? 2. What are the defining characteristics of SE? 3. What is the scope of SE? 4. Who should have knowledge of SE, and 5. What does the future of SE look like? The analysis contains comparisons of paired question responses and results with agreement percentages at 80% and above.
