Using the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK)

Abstract

The Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK – pronounced “see-bach”) is a freely available resource that provides insight into the wide range of systems engineering resources available globally. This chapter provides an overview of the SEBoK and insight into how it was created and is maintained. There are recommendations for using it based on an individual's level of experience and interests.
