teaching tools have been implemented elsewhere [5, 6, 7]; we areinterested in creating opportunities for students to experience project failures – and thenovercome those failures.We have developed a two-semester course sequence for entry-level engineering students (i.e.freshmen and sophomores), giving them a chance to learn from failures (and success). The firstsemester is a 2-credit course, consisting of a 1-credit classroom lecture and a 1-credit laboratoryelement; the second semester is a 1-credit laboratory course. The classroom portion is a seminar-style presentation of systems engineering tools such as requirements flow, work breakdownstructures, design drivers, trade studies and risk assessment. For the laboratory portion of bothsemesters

attributed to a student’s ability to learn. For example, the teachingstyle of most university professors contradicts the typical learning styles of most students in awide range of disciplines. And in regard to curriculum, the vast majority of university systemsacross the United States have managed to squeeze more and more theoretical information intoengineering curricula, while limiting the contact of undergraduate students with physical, hands-on projects, through laboratories and design projects. In 1988, a paper was published by Richard Felder and Linda Silverman entitled Learningand Teaching Styles in Engineering Education which has become one of the most referenceddocuments in the field of Engineering Education [1].
