effectiveness of an engineering curriculum is measured by how well studentscan apply and integrate their technical knowledge to solve real life problems. The currentengineering curriculum has been designed to only to provide the theory, however, it doesn’tprovide the integration of how this knowledge can be applied. The courses that are taken aspreparation for system engineering students include standard mechanical studies such asstatics, dynamics, and structural analysis, but also, computer software and hardwarecourses that study C programming, circuit analysis and electronics. These types ofcollegiate engineering classes that are taken on a general level in all system engineeringdisciplines, are supposed to provide the theory that is needed to build

Although many researchers point out that outreach as early as middleschool is important in embedding the idea that anyone can be an engineer, many universities donot offer many outreach programs to this age group because of the inexperience withage-appropriate pedagogy, risk management issues, and unknown benefits to the institution inrelation to the limited resources available [8].
