Additionally, the MIT professorresponsible for the SE course visited RIT to discuss the role of systems engineering in productdevelopment and provided copies of classroom materials for review purposes. Although RIT wasnot permitted to use these class materials, this assistance was very helpful in defining the scopeand content of our own SE course. The development of the SA course departed significantlyfrom the MIT version due to differences in industrial populations served by the two universities.MIT’s program draws heavily from the aerospace and government sectors while RIT draws fromthe commercial and consumer product sectors.Both
