Nevertheless, Saudi Arabian, African, and Asianuniversities are also adopting lean principles in their practice6.Both newly developed and established administrative processes are potential opportunities forimprovements7. Most projects focus on operations such as financial transactions, facilitiesmanagement, human resources and library services. Based on documented results by earlyadopters in higher education, clear continuous improvement is part and parcel of organizationalstrategic planning and applied within daily operations at forward-thinking

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
