-world client into the course. A computer-basedsimulator has been used to provide a learning environment for critical competencies aimed ataccelerating the student‟s learning in systems engineering concepts.5 The introduction of systemsengineering into pre-college education6 was shown to give students a broad perspective withwhich to interact with the world. Systems engineering was used with students as young as fiveyears old to emphasize the kind of interactive and interdependent group learning that fostersgrowth in social skills, giving children the opportunity to think and act critically in society.A systems engineering approach applied in a laboratory setting using an active learning strategycalled Activities, Project, and Problem-Based

In general,students gave higher ratings on encouraging the future use of Piazza than Praze and Panopto.Students also thought Piazza was easier to use than Praze and Praze was easier to use thanPanopto. When asked to compare SYS 2001 to other courses, students agreed the most withthe statement that ―Compared to other courses, this course used technology to allow moreface-to-face interaction with the instructor(s) and other students.‖ 97% students agreed orstrongly agreed that they received more feedback in SYS 2001 than other courses and 67%agreed or strongly agreed that the structure of the course and the technologies used helpedstudents

that prepare graduates to attain theprogram educational objectives.” The criteria are typically met across a number of junior andsenior level courses. We use S/U/- (satisfactory/unsatisfactory/Not Available) notation toidentify whether a student met one or more of these criteria in a given course. An S roughlymaps to grades of C or better, but is not always a given. Thus, each faculty member shouldmanually record these letter grades for each of his/her course students in a given semester. Ourengineering curriculum typically offers 12 courses at junior and senior levels every semester, andhas typical enrollments of 18 per course. A typical student spends 6 or more semesters in ourprogram to satisfy the graduation requirements. We graduate 20 to

The field of engineering economy provides these tools. In order to make asound decision, a three-phase approach to evaluate the risk of a project is necessary: 1. Identify the risk, or risks, of an investment project. 2. Analyze the identified risk(s) of the project. 3. Assess how the identified risks
