fundamental challenges:decomposition and integration faced by companies. They assert that the overall designeffort needs to be broken into individual tasks and more importantly the work carriedout on these tasks needs to be integrated into an overall design once again. Theyidentify functional, project and matrix organisation structures among others to carryout these functions. Meetings, and meeting room resources are some of the mainrequirements of a design office. Mulgan [15] identifies that providing writtenmaterial, multimodal supports and multiplatform environments, support sense-makingand common understanding in meetings. He asserts that minutes, images, networks,shared documents, and digitally shared information, all contribute to extend

exactly from those competitors,why they look for in the search line with the help of those words, what problems and tasks theyface at this moment, what they feel and what they think. Understanding is the stage of gather-ing primary information, which after that still needs to be properly processed, classified andused to gain understanding. Understanding, or empathy, as an integral component of this stage,allows putting yourself at the place of the user, the potential client. At this stage the better theconsumer will be studied, the more likely that we will be able to develop and offer him exactlythe product that will best meet his needs and expectations. The next thing that potential developers need to understand is an understanding of

Although an employer was namedas a first customer, students’ recommendations on curriculum improvement, campus layout, andfacilities utilization demonstrated that students considered themselves as customers as well.Francis4 in his study of lean implementation in Canadian universities pointed out strongprospects for new research programs related to Lean in higher education. The universitiespotential in producing rigorous research should be leveraged to promote the lean adoption as asystem in HEI.Although some authors believe that in the recent years it has become easier to use Leanmethodology for non-experts in the field9, most of the

and concepts help to integrate thespecialty engineering designs together to better design and manage complex systems. Thesesame systems engineering tools can be used to teach systems engineering to engineers. Agraduate-level engineering management curriculum includes a Management of EngineeringSystems course, whose key learning objective is for the students to be able to synthesize andapply the systems engineering methods and tools to a real-world system design project. Thispaper will describe how the instructor applied systems engineering tools to enhance learning ofsystems engineering tools and concepts in an engineering management course. The studentsapplied the systems engineering tools in the course to design a system in teams of 4 to 5

An assessment was performed, and about 70% of the students wanted toinclude the case study approach in other curriculums, and about 90% felt that they gainedknowledge from this curriculum.Self-LearningLearning for the sake of one’s own knowledge by conducting research, reading articles andbooks, or employing other platforms is termed as self-learning or self-directed learning.Everyone takes advantage of this methodology to some extent, and many well-knownpersonalities, such as Marie Curie 39 have been studied.
