The Systems Engineering Study Group (SESG) meets at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), Kongsberg, Norway. The objective of the meetings is to exchange experience between people who are interested in Systems Engineering or who have the intend to become a Systems Engineer. The SESG discusses one theme per meeting, the subjects are one of many SE aspects. We have two to three meetings per year. You can become member of this group by sending a mail to .
The format of the meeting is that we ask someone to introduce a subject by sharing their experiences and reflection. Next we have a discussion in smaller break-out groups. This discussion is based on the presentation and stimulated by two to three additional questions. The outcome of the break-out discussion is presented plenary. If possible we capture the results of the discussion in a white paper.

Confidentiality
We try to keep the SESG as accessible as possible.
Speakers and participants get most out of the meeting when they can talk freely,
without confidentiality concerns.
We state at the beginning of the meeting
that information discussed in the classroom is potentially confidential or sensitive,
and hence must be treated with care and respect.
We need mutual trust, since we learn more if participants dare to open up.
However, we also remind speakers and participants not to disclose
really critical confidential information,
since we do not have control over the disclosure.
