System engineering evolution and adoption around the world have been unevenly supported by education programs. The current strong emergence of system engineering needs in several industries combined with inappropriate education support in the past resulted in strong demands for lilelong education programs. Most mid career engineers with very significant technical project experience in major french companies graduated in engineering programs with no education in system engineering beyond short trainings. Often, they have been exposed to system engineering processes through participation in large programs but only in a partial manner. This is typical of a general transition period inside companies with internal struggles on the exact role and scope of system engineering. In this paper we report the feedback of a system engineering program targeted to this audience.
