As a result, new graduatesmay require significant on-the-job-training and experience before they and their employers areconfident in their systems engineering skills. For example, NASA developed the SystemsEngineering Leadership Development Program (SELDP) to provide “development activities,training, and education” to more quickly cultivate systems engineers.

The George Washington UniversityAbstract This paper provides an overview of Systems Engineering education in the context of anEngineering Management program. This program has successfully integrated systemsengineering into the broader perspective of engineering management. From a base of corestrengths and competencies in engineering management, the systems engineering courseshave grown in substance and acceptance in the marketplace. Combinations of thesecourses lead to Certificates and Master’s degrees. Further study in systems engineering,together with research and dissertation activities, can lead to a doctorate degree. Aspectsof the offerings discussed in this paper include: (1) system requirements, (2) the systemsapproach, (3) system

Appropriate toolsand procedures can support team projects, and open source software tools present specificopportunities and challenges. Open source software (OSS) generally refers to software that isdistributed without charge and with the original source code, so that anyone can fix defects, addenhancements, or otherwise modify the software and share their changes with others. Thus, OSScan be freely installed on any number of computers, and modified by faculty and students withappropriate knowledge, but it may include

In addition to technical challenges, the COVID-19 pandemicchanged the way many teams develop their solutions, as collaborators were required to workfrom separate geographic locations.

offers a perspective of how Penn State University-Altoona College, anundergraduate institution in Pennsylvania is taking steps to integrate ISA education into its four-year electromechanical engineering technology program. The college realizes that it is highlyimportant for its engineering students to be knowledgeable about information systems securitysince engineers are now expected to have at least a basic understanding of current threats, theconstant change in the nature of those threats, how these threats affect product development,personal safety, employee productivity, and organizational expenses.IntroductionThe specific intent of an information systems security education curriculum should be to trainprofessionals who are able to analyze
topics? We will also present an analysis of howthese topics are related to the overall philosophy of systems engineering.We also analyze the content of Master’s degree programs in systems engineering, primarily inthe US, that offer degrees with the word ―systems‖ in the title, focusing on the 25 largestprograms, which accounted for 64% of the graduates of such programs in 2010. The programshave much in common, but differ in their focus on different industries and on different tools.Some programs seem to have been designed to meet the needs of specific industries and even ofspecific companies. We use these findings to support conclusions about the nature of systemsengineering education and to make recommendations to industrial engineering
