Table 2.7-1 provides a summary of the Competency Model for Systems Engineering. For more information on the NASA SE Competency model refer to: http://appel.nasa.gov/competency-model/.

There are four levels of proficiencies associated with each of these competencies:

• Team Practitioner/Technical Engineer
• Team Lead/Subsystem Lead
• Project Systems Engineer
• Chief Engineer
