Management and Systems Engineering EducationAbstractAs engineering system complexity has increased over the years, numerous complex systems pro-jects have failed due to the lack of an appropriate systemic perspective. Since the solution to thischallenge is itself a complex system, educating and training our current and future technicalleaders on these challenges, and providing suggested changes in their mind sets, is imperative.As an educational tool, case studies can be a platform through which the analysis, knowledgeapplication, and drawing of conclusions can occur to facilitate coping with the most complexsystems. Case study learning has proven successful in the training of business leaders with reallife examples of the

The engineer in industry must be ‘anauthority on technology, a leader of others, a communicator’ and engineering courses must‘improve working habits’ 6. The council was itself beginning to warm to the theme ofintervention in the undergraduate curriculum, and would indeed be funding and influencingnew engineering degree courses using Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) finance.
