person did not fulfill her/his tasks, the mission would be unsuccessful, as opposed to most undergraduate design projects in which one or two students usually do the majority of the work and the others just “get by.” Part of the dependence on other team members was grounded in the integration and test deadlines. Delaying one test of a subsystem directly impacted everyone else’s schedules. Students were also responsible for adhering to the cost, size, and weight budgets set forth in the design and documentation phase of the project. • The first iteration of the course was more effective in teaching the systems engineering concepts, but the lack of time made the experience full for just
