Abstract

A designer of a systems engineering curriculum has to face a multitude of issues. These include the selection of a specific profile within the wide systems domain, the type of curriculum and associated target group, the design of an effective sequence and combination of courses meeting educational goals, the choice of educational methods and forms, and the design of a quality control and adaptation mechanism to enable the curriculum to improve and evolve in time. This paper elaborates on some of these issues with illustrations from the TU Delft curriculum in Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management
