| description | The complexity of delivering business value is increasing technically and socially. The increasing complexity triggers the need for an increase in systems competence in several roles within the technical domain. One of the core disciplines to focus on this competence is systems engineering, which gets increasing attention within the Dutch ecosystem to enhance individuals and organizations further in this competence. The challenge is a shortage of systems engineers and teachers in systems engineering. This study proposes a layered and integrated education offering with courses for depth and domain skills, multi-day programs with systems mindset and leadership capabilities, and tracks to broaden the knowledge to a broad variety of stakeholders. In addition, university colleges, universities, and other education providers have to cooperate in delivering cohesive education to all levels, e.g., bachelor, master, PhD, and lifelong learning. |
