education has started to focus onoffering courses, concentrations and degrees in engineering systems. MIT’s ESD program is aconcerted effort in this direction.ESD’s vision is to advance research in these areas and to also simultaneously impart knowledgeof established methods and approaches to our students for tackling such problems. To date, theseefforts have primarily been conducted at the graduate level, where a strong student response andinterest in our programs indicates a good measure of success (see Fig. 1). More broadly, outsideof MIT, many engineering systems educational initiatives are focused at the graduate level.5Similarly, there are numerous examples of junior or senior-level design courses that draw onsystems-based approaches, often
