Abstract
The education of systems engineers has usually been a task left to chance or, at best, the postgraduate sector of universities. Recently, a new course at Loughborough University has set out to change this and has met with considerable success. However, establishing such a programme has been a substantial systems challenge in itself, not least because new methods of teaching needed to be introduced, and a systems friendly means of managing the programme had to be established. This paper looks at the issues behind the successful educating of systems engineers for the aerospace and related industries
