In some cases, the practices werefer to are extant in the education literature, but not ones that we have tried as yet; however, weplan to examine them in upcoming semesters and, possibly, incorporate them into our ownclassrooms. We also indicate how several of these practices help meet the requirements ofagencies that accredit engineering

: Implementing a Systems Engineering Framework For Multidisciplinary Capstone DesignSynopsisIn this paper we discuss a pilot project at Stevens Institute of Technology to develop a systemsengineering (SE) framework for multidisciplinary capstone design which can be a model forbroad implementation. It is part of an initiative involving 14 institutions (including all themilitary academies), sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research andEngineering (ASD(R&E)) STEM Development Office to incorporate SE in undergraduatecapstone design. The initiative is a clear demonstration of the significance placed by DoD on theneed to have graduating engineers educated in the overarching significance of systemsengineering for the
Preparing Our Graduates to be More Effective Leaders In a World of Systems-Oriented RiskAbstractToday’s systems are becoming increasingly more complex and more interdependent - thereforethe need for engineers who can effectively innovate, design and manage such systems isbecoming more critical. In order to develop the skill set necessary to succeed in a leadershipposition in a competitive and risky workplace, an engineer must be able to deal with systemssituations. Systems engineering and systems thinking provide a framework for anticipating orenvisioning possible future changes (both within the system boundaries and within theinteractive system’s environment) and for effectively responding to internal and external risksand

Understanding systems thinking, design thinking and their relationship has value fordesigning a curriculum that can more fully prepare students to excel in both systems engineeringand professional design, enhancing students’ impact after graduation.2.1 Design Thinking OverviewDesign thinking is cognition, or the process of thinking, that includes the usage of solution-basedmethods to explore human centered values throughout the engineering design process [1][2]. Ithas also been described as “high order intellectual activity” that “requires practice and islearnable” [1]. There are various

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).

main goal of this course is for you to become a systemic thinker who uses a systematicapproach, based on methodologies in the course materials, to analyze open-ended, ill-definedproblems and issues. You will accomplish this goal by:1. Demonstrating and effectively applying the following during the appropriate phase of analysis a. formulate a problem and develop a clear statement of needs • goals, objective trees, indices of performance • functional requirements and design specifications based upon system trades b. identify solutions to a problem • creativity and innovation, brainstorming, researching existing/near solutions to the same/similar problems
