ideas rooted inSystems Engineering.The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)1 defines Systems Engineeringas “an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems.”The Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK), created by Body of Knowledge andCurriculum to Advance Systems Engineering (BKCASE) project2, notes that systemsengineering includes the “full life cycle of successful systems, including problemformulation, solution development and operational sustainment and use.” As noted in theSEBoK, a host of criteria such as continuous process improvement, considerations fortradeoffs, system integration, safety, recycling, etc., are needed while developing solutions fortechnical problems. In fact

Education, 2016 Systems Engineering and Capstone Projects Abstract Systems Engineering (SE) methods are increasingly being integrated into capstone design projects as a critical component of capstone design competitions, through mentoring during capstone project advising, and through capstone course syllabi development. In this paper, we describe an “engineering science” course developed specifically to teach selected SE topics and designed to primarily prepare third and fourth year undergraduate students for their engineering (ABET) capstone project. The course was developed using an inverted classroom format where students view short, topic

isinterested in integrating SE Design into their course. Therefore, our 1st recommendation is tostart off with a singular focus on engineering discipline capstone learning objectives includinglevels of SE knowledge required for today's projects, most of which are multi-disciplinary.When you are satisfied with the learning objectives, superimpose curriculum and facility/facultyconstraints that limit course content and structure. Then within the constraints including credithours and semester schedule, functionally define what you think would be one or more idealprojects that satisfy your SE Design learning objectives. Generalize the results in the form ofproject selection criteria and then and only then start looking for company or organizationsponsored

characterized as global, long term, complex problems c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Towards a systems theory-based curriculum for Complex Systems GovernanceThe purpose of this paper is to explore challenges associated with the development of acurriculum for an emerging field of Complex System Governance (CSG) that could be used forinstruction and teaching leaders, managers, and students interested in increasing their knowledge,skills, and abilities about CSG. CSG has been suggested as a means to (1) explore deep systemissues impacting performance, (2) introduce practitioners to new thinking, technologies, tools,and methods to address these issues, and (3

emphasizes teamworkand communication skills and a takes broad perspective on engineering to integrate knowledgeacross multiple disciplines.5,6SE academic programs have traditionally focused on master's degrees and continuing educationprograms to meet industry and government needs.7 Undergraduate SE education is somewhatcontroversial because of the beliefs of some practitioners that engineers must develop expertisein a single domain before addressing systems topics.8 This perspective is linked to the currentmodel where a bachelor's degree in engineering signals an individual to be ready for theworkplace, in contrast to other professional degrees such as law, medicine, or business.9Broader calls for transformation in engineering education promote

, mechanical, optical, aerospace, computer, and software engineering. Studentsentering the program should have a bachelor’s of science degree in one of the disciplines above, thoughsoftware engineering graduates may need additional preparation in mathematics. This program isunique in its extensive use of modeling and simulation.The MSSE was subsequently extended to the online modality and later taught out for that modalitywhile continuing to thrive at the main campus. It will be re-introduced for online in 2016. This programis rooted in mathematics and is substantially hands-on, making much use of simulation and analysistools. In this article we describe its initial rationale and curriculum, our discovery about studentretention and our response

practice in an integrated, real worldenvironment that a systems engineer can develop the necessary insights and wisdom to becomeproficient. Systems engineering educators are struggling to meet the growing educationaldemands for a workforce able to solve problems driven by accelerating technology, rapidlyevolving needs, and increasing systems complexity [1-3]. At the same time, there is a wideninggap in industry between the need and the availability of systems engineering practitioners withthe necessary experience to address these challenges [4].The Systems Engineering Experience Accelerator (SEEA) project was designed as a response tothese critical needs and challenges [5]. The project goals are to: assess the feasibility of an immersive
