AB  - In recent years, the rapidly evolving nature of technology and the increasing complexity of engineering systems have highlighted the need for educational programs that are adaptable and responsive to change. This paper explores the application of Agile curriculum development methodologies to the design and delivery of a Systems Engineering program. Agile, traditionally used in software development, emphasizes flexibility, iterative progress, and stakeholder collaboration, making it an ideal framework for creating a curriculum that can continuously evolve to meet industry demands. A team of industry, government, and academic professionals will meet using Agile curriculum design to develop a systems engineering program that meets stakeholder needs.  Academic institutions have not always been agile enough to change and adapt academic programs to meet the changing needs of industry.  Industry has often had to develop internal training programs because there is no academic option to provide their employees with needed skills. Agile development uses rapid development by working with all stakeholders continuously through the development process, stresses simplicity, and invites change. By incorporating Agile principles and stakeholder involvement, an Agile-driven Systems Engineering curriculum can be better aligned with the dynamic needs of both students and employers. The paper presents a case study of an Agile-based curriculum design process, discusses the challenges and benefits of implementing such an approach, and proposes a roadmap for other institutions considering similar transitions. Ultimately, the adoption of Agile methods in curriculum development aims to produce more agile, adaptive, and industry-ready systems engineering engineers.
