List of systems engineering universities

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering, that focuses on the development and organization of complex systems.

This list of systems engineering at universities gives an overview of the different forms of systems engineering (SE) programs, faculties and institutes at universities all over the world. Since there is no clear consensus on what constitutes a systems engineering degree, this list simply identifies the college and department offering degrees and the degrees offered.

Education in Systems engineering is often seen as an extension to the regular engineering courses, reflecting the industry attitude that engineering students need a foundational background in one of the traditional engineering disciplines (e.g. industrial engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering) plus practical, real-world experience in order to be effective as systems engineers. Undergraduate university programs in systems engineering are rare. Education in Systems engineering can be taken as SE-centric or Domain-centric.

• SE-centric programs treat Systems engineering as a separate discipline and all the courses are taught focusing on Systems engineering practice and techniques.
• Domain-centric programs offer Systems engineering as an option that can be exercised with another major field in engineering.

Both these patterns cater to educate the systems engineer who is able to oversee interdisciplinary projects with the depth required of a core-engineer.

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) maintains a continuously updated Directory of Systems Engineering Academic Programs worldwide.. As of 2006, there are about 75 institutions in United States that offer 130 undergraduate and graduate programs in Systems engineering.
