The Eclipse Supervisory Control Engineering Toolkit (Eclipse ESCET™) project is an Eclipse Foundation open-source project that provides a toolkit for the development of supervisory controllers in the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) paradigm. The toolkit has a strong focus on model-based design, supervisory controller synthesis, and industrial applicability, for example to cyber-physical systems. The toolkit supports the entire development process of (supervisory) controllers, from modeling, supervisory controller synthesis, simulation-based validation and visualization, and formal verification, to real-time testing and implementation.

'ESCET' is pronounced as 'èsèt'. Or more precisely, it is pronounced as the following sequence of sounds: an 'e' of 'bed', an 's' of 'see', another 'e' of 'bed', and a 't' of 'tea'. The emphasis is on the first part of the word. In the International Phonetic Alphabet it is spelled as ['ɛsɛt].
