Breakout Session 4 1 st Workshop On Undergraduate Programs in Systems Engineering

Overview Question: How much classical engineering (general, industrial, mechanical, electrical, etc.) and application domain focus (telecommunication, naval, medical, etc.) should be in a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering? Deliverable: – Recommendations and rationale to academia, government and industry.

Assumptions ABET Students can sit for the FE Meet your stakeholder assumptions Use the T-model – Our focus is on the SE centric program
