University Programs in Systems Engineering

Abstract

A survey of university programs in systems engineering is presented. Only institutions having formally organized programs leading to degrees or options in systems engineering, systems science, cybernetics, or related fields are included. A list of institutions includes a statement of the history and position of the program at the institution. Eighteen categories of subject matter offered in these programs are proposed and the classification of typical course titles into the categories is exemplified. A subject matter profile is established for each program by reporting the number of courses that fall within each of the eighteen categories.
