Theuniversities that are taking a more serious approach to EM think that EM growth in knowledgeparallels the growth of technology. They further feel that expansion of the EM knowledge base isnecessary to manage expanding technology. Yet, even these universities do not have a unifiedview of EM and their academic programs have significant differences.The Three Faces of Engineering ManagementThe Hicks et. al.2 (1999) study classified EM masters programs into three curricular groups.

However, in many cases involving thedevelopment of highly complex systems, poor systems engineering practices can result indifficulties or failures executing sound architectures.Systems architecting can be a difficult topic to teach since it typically involves an eclectic blendof art, science, judgment, and the application of heuristics; it also requires a holisticunderstanding of technologies, politics, and society.
