16TH ANNUAL INCOSE REGION II MINI-CONFERENCE

Systems Engineering: The Bridge Between the Aerospace and Medical Industries

Attend this day of stimulating thought and discussion centered around the questions: How is classical Systems Engineering applied to the aerospace and medical industries (e.g., design requirements, verification, validation).  Do these industries have similar or different approaches to SE and what can they learn from each other.  The medical industry and FDA have recently come under fire for allowing unsafe products on the market – can SE help improve the safety, efficacy and quality of medical products?  All are welcome.

Keynote Speaker: Daniel P. Olivier

Dan is an acknowledged quality systems expert that has provided consulting services for over 200 medical device and pharmaceutical companies in design controls, software validation, and safety risk management practices. He has been contracted by FDA to train investigators and to provide inputs to software validation guidelines. Speaker at over 50 American Society for Quality (ASQ) and other professional conferences. Author and presenter of over 50 seminars on Computer System Validation, Safety Risk Management, and Part 11 requirements to meet FDA and ISO Guidelines.
