: 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

the contrary, Charette (2013) suggested that there are more STEM workers than suitable jobsand many STEM graduates work for non-STEM related jobs. Whether one thinks there is a STEMshortage or surplus, an important factor that hinders any STEM graduate from securing a STEMjob is their inadequate level of academic preparation for college. This preparation begins in gradesK-12.STEM integration in K-12 has been on the rise since the idea was introduced almost a decade ago(Nathan & Pearson, 2014). Zuger (2015) noted the most commonly reported challenges that theK-12 schools are facing to implement STEM programs are funding (48.4%), inadequate K-8education (46.5%), insufficient teacher PD (46.4%), unclear best practices for STEM education(35.3
