andmanagement present important aspects of systems engineering, and they were chosen as thefocus of an eight-day long class designed for three cohorts of 9-11th grade students attending anacademic summer camp. The aim of the class was to provide students with the knowledge andskills necessary to systematically identify possible sources of risk and ways to manage them, andin such a way to prepare them to become more critical problem solvers in the world of complexissues. The underlying idea that guided curriculum development was that students might learnbetter when they are able to apply what they learn in the classroom to everyday life, or toproblems that are of interest to them. Thus, the area of risk assessment and management waschosen as appropriate

design phase (commencing with the need analysis), oneof the major objectives is to develop and define the specific design-to requirements for the systemas an entry. The results from these activities are combined, integrated, and included in a systemspecification. This specification constitutes the top “technical-requirements” document thatprovides overall guidance for system design from the beginning. Conceptual design is the first andmost important phase of the aircraft system design and development process. It is an early andhigh level life cycle activity with potential to establish, commit, and otherwise predetermine thefunction, form, cost, and development schedule of the desired aircraft system.

from an understanding that engineers need systems thinking skills to address complexengineering problems, our research is aligned with best practices in curriculum and trainingmaterial development. Once a desired result is identified, in this case the goal is to developengineers who are able to use comprehensive systems thinking knowledge and skills to addresscomplex problems, the next step is to determine how the achievement of that goal will beassessed [8]. Such assessment(s) then guide the development of learning activities andexperiences, e.g., methods for teaching systems thinking [8]. Our analysis sought to understandthe ways in which existing systems thinking assessments relevant in an engineering contextattend to various dimensions

systems engineering (SE) concepts during their undergraduate education.Although courses dealing with product design and development are an excellent choice tointroduce basic ST and SE concepts, mechanical engineering undergraduate programs seldomoffer more than one or two of those courses in their curriculum. Thus, to gradually develop theST and SE skills of the students during their undergraduate education, it is necessary to identifyadditional courses throughout the curriculum in which selected ST and SE concepts can beincorporated, starting in the freshman year. To that effect, many universities offer a freshman-level introduction to mechanical engineering course that can be a good a choice to explore howto incorporate basic ST and SE concepts

. Given the shift in thenature of problems and solutions, there is an opportunity within Systems Engineering fortransforming into a transdisciplinary discipline [1], [2]. Sillitto et al. [55] describes SystemsEngineering as a “transdisciplinary and integrative approach to enable the successfulrealization, use, and retirement of engineered systems, using systems principles and concepts,and scientific, technological, and management methods”. According to Rousseau [3],transdisciplinarity can be used as a powerful problem-solving technique that brings in patternsand perspectives by crossing disciplinary boundaries and creating a holistic approach. Extendingthis definition, transdisciplinarity in systems engineering would mean going beyond

To avoid increasing the coursedeliverables to seven reports, the original six reports were re-structured into five reports. Thiswas done by re-distributing and in many cases combining the deliverables more evenly across allreports. Only one deliverable content was eliminated, although this content was still included inthe lectures. In addition to changes to the Oral Reports, instructors addressed the addition of SEtopics in the course using a couple of methods. Telecons with representatives fromindustry/government organizations were added to the course to provide actual SE experience indefining requirements. In addition, overlap

However, it is not practical to expectstudents to take the time to thoroughly review these references and comprehend the topic whilebeing overwhelmed by their capstone design course and the Lunabotics challenge. From thejudges’ view, the best papers appear to be the result of faculty integrating the systemsengineering concepts into the capstone curriculum, so that the students learn the critical conceptsand practice them real-time during the Luabotics design challenge.

We have applied the lessons learned in an earlier effort at the College of Engineering, Michigan State University (MSU), lead by the first author of this report. Both the work at MSU and the recent, continuing work at MichTech are endeavors to help meet the call of the NAE sixteen years ago. Across many disciplines, we have constructed a program curriculum that builds an integrated engineering experience on the foundations of technical courses from a cross-section of different engineering disciplines, mathematics courses, physical and social sciences courses, business courses, and humanities courses.

for systems engineering programs. However, the 2011-12EAC accreditation cycle documentation does not list any actual verbiage that proposes adefinition beyond the general criteria for all engineering programs. The definition of “systemsengineering” espoused in this paper is an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to designthat integrates various engineering specialties into the goal of realizing complex products orprocesses. However, whatever the formal definition, all would agree that a systems engineeringapproach is valuable for all practicing engineers to appreciate.This paper describes the introduction of the concepts of systems engineering to students in amechanical engineering junior-level required thermo/fluids course through the
