The ODU Center for Mission Engineering (CME)’s Executive Director, Dr. Thomas Irwin, had the pleasure of presenting a free webinar on Mission Engineering for the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE).
During the session, Dr. Irwin covered Mission Engineering’s baselining core competencies, architectures, roles, and knowledge areas. He also outlined how the Mission Engineering framework supports strategic planning, professional development, and recruitment.
In addition, he highlighted the foundational 2025 Mission Engineering Competencies Workshop, which focused on a new ME Competencies Framework and on building a shared understanding of the skills, roles, and workforce competencies essential to the practice of Mission Engineering across the DOW, NASA, academia, industry, and allied partners. (ASNE’s prestigious Naval Engineering Journal plans to publish a summary of the formal Workshop Report in a forthcoming Journal publication.)
The event concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where participants raised thoughtful questions and shared valuable perspectives.
