List of systems engineering universities
open-in-new
<p>This list of systems engineering at universities gives an overview of the different forms of <a href="/facts/Systems_engineering/gFwRmkDp">systems engineering</a> (SE) programs, faculties, and institutes at universities worldwide. Since there is no clear consensus on what constitutes a systems engineering degree, this list simply identifies the college and department offering degrees and the degrees offered. </p><p>Education in systems engineering is often observed to be an extension to the regular <a href="/facts/Engineering/RFVg8H3I">engineering</a> courses, reflecting the industry attitude that engineering professionals need a foundational background in one of the traditional engineering disciplines (e.g. civil engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering) plus professional, real-world experience to be effective as systems engineers. Undergraduate university programs in systems engineering are rare. </p><p>Education in systems engineering can be viewed as <i>systems-centric</i> or <i>domain-centric</i>. </p> <ul><li><i>Systems-centric</i> programs treat systems engineering as a separate discipline with most courses focusing on systems engineering theory and practice.</li> <li><i>Domain-centric</i> programs offer systems engineering topics as an option that can be embedded within the major domains or fields of engineering.</li></ul> <p>Both categories strive to educate the systems engineer with capability to oversee interdisciplinary projects with the depth required of a core-engineer. </p><p>The <a href="/facts/International_Council_on_Systems_Engineering/yKrS33SY">International Council on Systems Engineering</a> (INCOSE) maintained a continuously updated Directory of Systems Engineering Academic Programs worldwide, which is now maintained in collaboration with the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) in a standalone site named "Worldwide Directory of Systems Engineering and Industrial Engineering Programs" or WWDSIE <a href="https://wwdsie.org/home">[1]</a> </p>
