Abstract :
Systems engineering is a discipline that has increasingly been part of both industry and academia. The number of both undergraduate and graduate programs that offer a systems engineering degree has multiplied throughout the years. The purpose of this research is to analyzed the curricula of graduate-level systems engineering programs to identify main patterns and concepts that are being taught. This analysis will lead to possible strengths and weaknesses of graduate programs with respect to topics that systems engineering, as a discipline, covers.
