The Institute for Systems Engineering (IfSE), the home of Systems Engineering in the United Kingdom, is a Professional Engineering Institute licensed by the Engineering Council.

If you are looking for insights on how to practise Systems Engineering, then IfSE is the institute for you.

The 'flavour' of Systems Engineering most prevalent in the UK has developed into an open and inclusive practice that facilitates the application of Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering principles in domains outside of the traditional domains of defence and aerospace.

In recent years, the membership of IfSE has widened significantly from its roots, expanding to include domains such as: automotive, rail, energy, civil engineering, space, medicine, and security. IfSE attracts members from all around the globe.

IfSE runs the UK's Annual Systems Engineering Conference (ASEC), a flagship event that brings together professionals and practitioners from an array of backgrounds, with the common interest of building upon their Systems Engineering knowledge, networking and sharing ideas with their peers.

In addition to this, IfSE has a growing collection of publications, including the 'Don't Panic' range, beginner's guides to the different aspects of Systems Engineering, as well as the Advanced Applications books, Academic Journals, Educational and STEM books.

IfSE was formerly known as INCOSE UK and acts as the UK Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), a not-for-profit membership organisation founded to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realisation of successful systems.
