Abstract

AbstractDo universities provide industry with System Engineers (SEs) that industry expects and wants? Are company sponsored training programs for System Engineers a worthwhile investment? Unlike traditional engineering disciplines, there is no prescribed educational program for Systems Engineering that meets the majority of industry's needs. Consequently, there appears to be no way for an organization to hire graduates who will, with certainty, be qualified to perform the majority of systems engineering functions within that organization. How much of this is due to the lack of standardization within industry, and how much is due to the lack of a standardized academic curriculum? This paper presents results of an empirical study aimed at identifying answers to these and other questions that are extremely important to the development of a close, effective partnership between industry (the customer) and educational/training programs (the producers).
