Enterprise Systems Engineering Master Program “Exporting Master program in Enterprise Systems Engineering to Jordan, Syria, and Egypt” MSC.ESE Tempus Project

530260-TEMPUS-1-2012-1-DE-TEMPUS-JPCR

Project Overview

Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) is a multidisciplinary approach combining systems engineering and strategic management to address methods and approaches for aligning system architectures with enterprise business rules and the underlying IT architecture; development and implementation consistent with enterprise strategic objectives; and the total enterprise system and capabilities, with diverse complex subsystems. ESE uses the systems engineering life cycle as a framework for linking outcome-based engineering analysis and decision making with enterprise strategic objectives, addressing methods and tools for managing complexity, determining measures of effectiveness, and assessing return on investment from an engineering perspective. This Master programme is quite new to both Tunisian universities. One important benefit behind this project is to offer this new master programme based on the ECTS system to SF and TU during the project implementation phase. In summary the problems in Jordan, Syria, Tunisia and Egypt regarding the ESE higher education and expertise can be described as follows: 1. No undergraduate curricula and guidelines in ESE per se; 2. Lack of an advanced up-to-date graduate curriculum in ESE; 3. No curriculum in ESE adapted to the nature, problems, needs and characteristics of enterprises in Jordan, Syria, Tunisia and Egypt; 4. No clear integration relationship between the different parties: the ministries, industry and universities, and shortage of applicability of conducted research; 5. No teaching methods encouraging students to search knowledge independently from libraries or Internet and stimulating creative thinking; 6. No efficient use of E-Learning tools for education and communication, including electronic library in ESE; 7. Little is known about the ECTS accreditation system in Jordan, Syria, Tunisia and Egypt.
