synthesis of knowledge. This has occurred not only within science, but betweenscience and technology and between science and the humanities. The forward progress ofsystemology in the study of large-scale complex systems requires a synthesis of science and thehumanities in addition to a synthesis of science and technology.When synthesizing human-made systems, unintended effects can be minimized and the naturalsystem can sometimes be improved by engineering the larger human-modified system instead ofengineering only the human-made. If system evaluation is applied beyond the human-made, thenthe boundary of the target system (meant to include both natural and human-made systems) shouldbe adopted as the boundary of the human-modified domain.Systems

Engineering Higher Education  Jerome P. Lavelle, Ph.D. College of Engineering, NC State University  Abstract: This paper describes a new proposed model and way of thinking about the process of assessing and evaluating engineering higher education programs for accreditation, and the way that data is used and shared. Proposed is a new construct for formatting and using data collected on the program self study report. In addition, it is suggested that now, 20 years after EC2000 was first designed, it is time to re-design, re-configure and re-engineer our current accreditation processes in light of new technologies and all that we’ve learned in these

the processes of soliciting, administering, and managing industry projects thatreinforce academic topics in engineering, technology, manufacturing, project management, lean,and six sigma3-7. Other topics that are reinforced include professionalism (through interactionwith industry), teamwork, and leadership8. Formally, these projects are also often assessed asstudents work to meet the established learning outcomes9.Another benefit of incorporating industry projects within engineering economy courses is thatacademic materials such as course lectures and notes have excellent coverage of projecteconomic analysis, but these academic materials lack the hands-on use of economic analysiswithin a design that a project with industry can provide10.
