widening gap in systems engineering expertise in the workforce. There is aparallel need to develop “entrepreneurally-minded” engineers (i.e., those who can identifyopportunities to create or improve products, and to implement plans to capture such opportunities).Engineering graduates need the capability and competency to efficiently and effectively engineerinnovative systems that satisfy customer and user operational needs, within budget, schedule,technology, and risk constraints. The solutions developed must incorporate societal impacts as wellas regulatory constraints. As evidenced by our definitions, there are strong overlap between Page

is built thatsatisfies the stakeholder requirements.The system to be designed under consideration must be clearly and completely defined withstakeholder’s requirements in mind. The stakeholders, the management team, and the systemsengineering team together must consider the cost, schedule, and performance constraints. Thefeasibility studies will be conducted to make sure that the stakeholders, management, and thesystems engineering team agree on the feasibility of developing the system under consideration.Based on the discussion of all the parties involved a very important document must be written;the document is called the stakeholder’s requirements document (SRD).Based on the SRD the systems engineering team translates its contents in

solutions throughout the project (e.g., design and integration through computergraphics/additive manufacturing, use of digital photography in multi-media and public relations,and planning and schedule/task management through the use of dynamic visual aids). With agoal in mind, the students were able to work towards the end goal through systems engineeringprocess while gaining valuable hands-on experience with real world engineering application (i.e.,how to orient a spacecraft). During the experience, SSG conducted formative assessments bymentoring the design and development of the experiment as well as individual team members’progress. In addition, a performance-based summative assessment of the students showed thatthe in-flight demonstration was a

ubiquitous throughout the engineering world. Indeed, the study of feedback controlsystems (sometimes also referred to as "automatic control systems, "control engineering", orsimply "control systems") is often referred to as a "stealth science," due to its widespreadprevalence in a behind-the-scenes role of how engineering systems and devices may work.Although many readers are probably familiar with many of the concepts that will be discussed inthis section, we nevertheless wish to provide a simple conceptual base so as to 1. remind thereader of basic terms and definitions that we will continue to use throughout the paper and 2.serve as a conceptual foundation for the more complex models discussed in subsequent sections.With this in mind, let us

Science is a university based Science centre with about 40 000 visitors were the goal is to stimulate high school students’ interest for the natural sciences, math and technology. During these years Lena developed her pedagogical skills and competence in the pedagogic field and besides leading the activities she organised pedagogical training for teachers, pupils and university students. Since 2011 Lena is head of the new Department of Learning at the School of Education and Communi- cation in Engineering Sciences (ECE), KTH. Lena is responsible for building up a new strong research environment in engineering and technology education, K-12 to university level.Dr. Per G. Norstr¨om, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Per
