succeed and “need to begrown via in-house training or experience” [Adcock et al., 2015]. For example, NASA developedthe Systems Engineering Leadership Development Program (SELDP) to provide “developmentactivities, training, and education” to more quickly cultivate systems engineers [Ryschkewitch etal., 2009].Universities have responded to the growing market demand for systems engineers in a range ofways, from adding or further emphasizing elements of systems engineering to existing courses(e.g., capstone design courses; see Chaput [2016]), to creating entire programs in systemsengineering (e.g., Stevens Institute of Technology). How effective are these efforts, how can theybe improved, and, can we identify a set of best practices in doing such
the current automotivestate-of-the-art, the hybrid electric vehicle, thus being responsive to industry needs 13 . This type ofcourse is not unique to our university, as many other universities are developing similar hybridelectric vehicle focused labs 14 , project focused courses 15,16 , and general education 17,18,19,20 . Systems engineering (SE) is an effective tool to address multidisciplinary engineeringproblems. It was first developed in the 1930s and allows for successful design andimplementation of machines that would otherwise be too broad, too risky, and toocomplicated 21,22 . Additionally, SE has also been identified as a key component of sustaining U.S.competitiveness in the sectors of manufacturing, technology, services, and
