Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Engineering Systems Division ESD has a mission to transform engineering education, research, and practice through the emerging field of engineering systems; and prepare engineers to think systemically, lead strategically, and address the complex challenges of today's world, for the benefit of humankind. MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics MIT AeroAstro prepares engineers for success and leadership in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of aerospace and related engineering systems. We achieve this through our commitment to: educational excellence; creation, development, and application of technologies critical to aerospace vehicle and information engineering; and to the architecture and engineering of complex high-performance systems. MIT Lean Advancement Initiative LAI is an evolving learning and research community that brings together key aerospace stakeholders from industry, government, and academia. System Design and Management Program Created in 1996 in response to industry’s need to develop the next generation of leaders, SDM is at the forefront of graduate education at MIT. Not an MBA, SDM combines cutting-edge courses from the MIT Sloan School of Management and MIT’s School of Engineering, enriching the experience with innovative distance learning, flexible matriculation options and an interdisciplinary perspective. MIT Strategic Engineering  Strategic Engineering is the process of architecting and designing complex systems and products in a way that deliberately accounts for future uncertainty and context in order to minimize the effects of lock-in while maximizing lifecycle value. Humans and Automation Laboratory  Research in the Humans and Automation Lab (HAL) focuses on the multifaceted interactions of human and computer decision-making in complex sociotechnical systems. Education & Research Networks Council of Engineering Systems Universities CESUN was established in 2004 by universities offering educational and research programs in engineering systems. Membership includes over 30 universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Council provides a mechanism for the member universities to work together developing engineering systems as a new field of study SEANET Doctoral Student Research Network SEANET is an INCOSE sponsored network of doctoral student researchers working in the field of systems engineering and architecting. Professional Societies International Council on Systems Engineering INCOSE is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1990 with a mission is to advance the state of the art and practice of systems engineering in industry, academia, and government by promoting interdisciplinary, scaleable approaches to produce technologically appropriate solutions that meet societal needs. IEEE Systems Council The IEEE Systems Council integrates activities of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers regarding aspects of multiple disciplines and specialty areas associated with the engineering of systems. American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics AIAA is the principal voice and technical society devoted to global leadership in the aerospace community. University Collaboration Partners USC Center for Systems and Software Engineering CSSE is a research center at the University of Southern California aimed at evolving and unifying theories and practices of systems and software engineering.
