incorporating SEcontent in the traditional framework of engineering curricula and the lack of experience with SEby academic practitioners. This paper presents the results of a 17 month project between twolarge public institutions to investigate and incorporate educational tools and practical experiencesin the teaching of SE in existing design courses, to be later transitioned into a broad range ofcourses within the curricula. The main objective of the project introduced students to thepractical applications of the fundamentals of SE without displacing other course content. Thetarget courses at Texas A&M University included three senior-level courses, of which two wererequired capstone design courses and one an optional technical design elective

Throughoutthis approach, various techniques for generating creative design alternatives are introduced. Thenature of aircraft design project; complexity, multidisciplinary, and various constraints; suggeststhat the systems engineering approach to be the best candidate. The implementation of systemsengineering requires a flawless interface between team members working toward a commonsystem thinking to correctly execute the design process. The focus of this paper would be verymuch on techniques and challenges on curricular structures, course design, implementation;assessment and evaluation.I.

as it applies to spacemissions. Students learned key topics related to spacecraft and mission design, includingrequirements development, trade studies, the project life cycle, system hierarchy, risk analysis, andcost analysis. The concepts presented in this course were demonstrated with examples from recentspace missions. The students were exposed to concepts regarding team organization, designfundamentals, and work ethics. These topics are in preparation for the capstone design courseexperience. They learn that systems engineering is iterative and develop judgment that will allowthem to compare and evaluate engineering alternatives. They learn to discuss systems engineeringmethods and processes as well as engage in systems thinking

the system.The authors feel that the systems engineering approach needs to be introduced in engineeringcourses that involve the design of projects. Engineering systems design and analysis mostlyrequires the use of Newtonian mechanics including: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and lawsof thermodynamics. The systems engineering approach prepares the students in design anddevelopment of engineering systems from the perspective of concurrent engineering or life cycleengineering. The design of complex systems such as automobiles, airplanes, space vehicles,power plants, and large ships may be used to give a feel to the students for the application ofsystems engineering design approach.The systems engineering approach to design is to consider the

been suggested, most importantly the lack oftechnology teachers with adequate training. In Sweden, most teachers who teach technologyare educated in the natural sciences, and has little or no training in technology or engineering.This has led to a technology education that deals with individual artefacts rather than systems,and these artefacts tend to be studied and analysed using methods, tools and criteria from thenatural sciences rather than the engineering sciences.10Through a project called ‘Boost for teachers’ (Lärarlyftet), the Royal Institute of Technology(KTH) in Stockholm has received government funding for professional development coursesfor teachers in compulsory school who teach technology without having proper education.

had not been recognized.It was not until the advent of USAF Project RAMCAD during 1986-88, with TRW and VirginiaTech as partners, that the need to rigorously evaluate design alternatives was specified as adeliverable. During the conduct of this research, system parameters were partitioned formallyinto design dependent and design independent subsets. The result was a Design EvaluationFunction of the form E = f (X; Yd, Yi), shown last in Figure 2.Although too late for the First Edition in 1981, all subsequent editions of Systems Engineeringand Analysis by Blanchard and Fabrycky incorporated the DDP concept for system designevaluation.1 Also, an added notion was adopted demonstrating that equivalence must beemployed within each alternative
