the lack ofsystems engineering process and principles in their business administrative practices specific tothe Career and Technical department. The problems consisted of a lack of organization,understanding, and clarity of organizational processes. This department was not performing andoperated through disorganized, non-communicating people and systems. This was especiallyconcerning in light of the desire for the school district to be selected as one of Ford NextGeneration Learning’s (NGL) communities. The superintendent expressed a desire to see asystem engineering approach applied to the improvement of this department in preparation forFord’s arrival. This research sought to understand the whole system, expose lean six-sigma toolsto a new

students were genuinelyexcited about completing a challenging, cutting-edge project that pushed them beyond their“comfort zones” into new areas of learning. They really appreciated being able to build whatthey were designing, and seeing how this influenced the design process. They were moremotivated to engage and find answers to hard questions. They were able to make application ofsystems engineering principles on a real project with real consequences. As a result, they realizedthe benefits of the systems engineering approach. They were motivated to work throughteamwork and management issues in order to achieve successful system development. Andfinally, this experience opened their eyes to career paths in systems and test engineering.The student
