institutions with engineering programs reporting having a fully onlineprogram, compared to 33 percent for business, although penetration rates fordoctoral/research institutions is somewhat higher. Expanding the geographic reach tostudents is the primary reason for institutions to enter online education, although the Sloanstudy reports that 85 percent of students come from within 50 miles of campus, which theyclassify as local or from the state or surrounding states which they classify as regional.Given that backdrop, what makes a master’s program in systems engineering a goodcandidate to be developed as an online program? First, it should be noted that systemsengineering is a relatively young discipline compared to the other engineering disciplines
