ABOUT // THE INSTITUTE
SET Academy is an initiative of IDEA — a nonprofit institute advancing digital engineering education and workforce development across industry, government, and academia.
IDEA exists to accelerate the adoption of digital engineering — equipping the workforce, institutions, and industry with the practices that Industry 4.0 demands.
The SET Academy curriculum was developed with industry, government, and academic partners — so what students learn maps directly to what programs need.
From community college classrooms to professional upskilling through DigitalWERX, IDEA builds the talent pipeline for the next decade of engineering.
SET Academy — Systems Engineering Technology — is IDEA's flagship curriculum: a five-course Model-Based Systems Engineering sequence delivered through partner colleges, with professional training available through DigitalWERX Pro.
