Derby, the fifth grade students were challenged topredict how the weight of a vehicle would influence how far it would roll down a straightaway,starting from an inclined ramp. The very nature of this project makes it unique in that it wasdesigned to have mutual benefit for both the engineering students and the fifth grade students. AYouTube video from the initial program administration in the fall of 2010 depicts the energylevel at the I2D2 event when so many creative minds of diverse backgrounds and ages arebrought together (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvrjr7Qd1Rk).The “serious play” activities during I2D2 were designed to elicit meaningful customer inputfrom the fifth grade students; the college students then designed and built pets using

Management and Systems Engineering EducationAbstractAs engineering system complexity has increased over the years, numerous complex systems pro-jects have failed due to the lack of an appropriate systemic perspective. Since the solution to thischallenge is itself a complex system, educating and training our current and future technicalleaders on these challenges, and providing suggested changes in their mind sets, is imperative.As an educational tool, case studies can be a platform through which the analysis, knowledgeapplication, and drawing of conclusions can occur to facilitate coping with the most complexsystems.

Or, it could simply be that students do not think about sustainability beyondresources, energy, and the environment at a basic level, as opposed to a systems level.Sophomore students might lack the intellectual maturity to think about sustainability andsustainable design from a systems approach.
