THE SYSTEMS DESIGN and Management program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology prepares engineers to manage complex systems and interdisciplinary teams. As outlined by Daniel Frey, Suzanne Weiner, and Mats Nordlund, it blends on‐campus and distance learning to emphasize leadership skills, systems development and project management, and fundamental business studies. Although the perspective is engineering‐based, its structure and course strategies are easily applicable to design management.
