applying it as a change agent.Students had to produce an integrating final project in one semester (around 18 weeks), andboth students and instructors pointed out that, at the end of the whole degree program,students were not ready to undertake a high caliber project which incorporated much learning,skills, and professional attitudes.Responding to that problem, the university introduced a Capstone Course in systemsengineering in the mid 1980s. It came in the next to last semester of the program, just beforethe student thesis and graduation. Lasting 17 weeks, the course required students to developan intervention for improvement in an administrative system, aimed at integrating andapplying methods and skills learned along the way. Thus students

that extensive foundation focused on systems thinking and systems dynamics, including low fidelity modeling. Our new program's top-level goal lies in developing student competencies for effective systems thinking across a broad range of domains alongside the ability to express and test understanding within modeling software in the context of human-made systems. The program is a type of systems engineering program that appears to be emerging in some universities across the United States. The MichTech BSE degree program is an ABET-accredited degree program under the ABET general criteria. One role BSE fills in our college is to act as an incubator for new engineering degree programs. The systems engineering program we

Systems theory integration of those entities to form a coherent whole. This balance produces the system identity (uniqueness) that exists beyond the identities of the individual constituents. Coordination Providing for interactions (relationships) between constituent entities within the system, and between the system and external entities, such that unnecessary instabilities are avoided. Communication The flow, transduction, and processing of information within and external to the system, that provides for

The class (graduate level Manufacturing Strategy)This paper refers to the experience of using a videogame in a Manufacturing Strategy course.This class is a mandatory subject in the graduate Specialist degree in ManufacturingManagement. We will explain briefly the structure of the course and the use of the game as aneducational tool.3.1. Course StructureThe Manufacturing Strategy is a 24 hour course, presented in six four-hour sessions. It aims toconvey the importance of strategy in any
