principles of Systems Engineering have been acknowledged enablers for design,development and validation of advanced technology products for over half a century1. In today'smarketplace, it is essentially impossible to cost-effectively design, deliver and support atechnology-based product without application of some principles of SE. In fact many, if notmost, development program failures and embarrassments trace to improper understanding orapplication of SE, particularly in early program phases as addressed in Figure 4. Yet, weobserve (admittedly anecdotally) that most traditional discipline engineers including aerospacegraduate with little understanding of even the most basic SE concepts much less theirapplication. We believe this shortfall results

is needed to determine whichtopics need to be included within a curriculum.Role of the ASEE and Its DivisionsThe NCEES is the de facto arbiter of the relevance of fundamental engineering topics by virtueof the FEE. Similarly, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) hashistorically influenced determination of the relevancy of engineering topics. The ASEE and its Page 25.1094.2 1divisions serve as a forum in which engineering educators interact, and it has provided input tothe NCESS and ABET, but more can be done.The ASEE is ideally situated to serve as a clearinghouse for
