Based on the tow big scientific revolutions, the functions including education, research, social services and technology and academic entrepreneurship were the missions of universities especially technical-engineering discipline. Based on dynamic government-university-industry triple helix model, the functions of government, university, and industry were developed and overlapped and expectation from university system and technical-engineering subsystem for technology, academic entrepreneurship and procurement of national innovation system are also uploaded. In this article, based on the cybernetic model of science & technology system, status of technical-engineering discipline in three sections including potential, efficiency and effectiveness investigated. Analysis are made with two approaches of existing data and field study. Based on the cybernetic model of science & technology system, status of scientific and academic system especially technological-engineering discipline status must develop, upgrade with appropriate balanced. According to the analysis of this research, potential, efficiency and effectiveness have not relative balance. The potential of technical-engineering discipline is higher than efficiency and its efficiency is higher than its effectiveness. Thus, technical-engineering discipline effectiveness and efficiency must be monitor and increased. The policy-making of scientific system of technical-engineering discipline should be managed with concurrent attention to potential, efficiency and effectiveness principles.
