The challenges proposed by the development of the new computer systems demand new guidance related to
engineer´s education, because they will solve these problems. In the XXI century system engineers must be able
to integrate a number of topics and knowledge disciplines that complement that traditionally has been known as
Computer Systems Engineering. We have enough software development engineers, today we need professional
engineers for software integration, real leaders and system architects that make the most of the technological
development for the benefit of society, leaders that integrate social sciences to the solutions they build and
propose. In this article the current situation of Computer Systems Engineering is analyzed and is presented a
theory proposing the need for modifying the approach faculties have given to these careers, to achieve the
education of leader engineers as needed according to present century requirements.
