assignment of tasks.5. Future ResearchVideogames such as Rise of Nations might have a variety of applications in educational settings.At Universidad _____, the game is starting to be employed in graduate and undergraduate classessuch as Systems Thinking, Management of Technology and Innovation and Logistics. Newworkshops, activities and learning guides are being developed and emerging behaviors arestarting to show. All this body of work is being systematized to detect trends and best practices toapply games depending on the contents and skills to develop.Another avenue of research is to study the evolution of players during the semester, in terms ofthe depth of their understanding, the relationships they build, the social constructions that
explicit ‘Body of Knowledge’ (BOK) to offer a standard set of terms,definitions, and concepts that are accepted by the professionals of that discipline. Such efforts tocreate and maintain a BOK are usually driven by the internationally recognized professionalbody for that discipline. Examples of two such BOKs are the Software Engineering Body ofKnowledge (SWEBOK) [1] developed by the IEEE Computer Society, and The Guide to theSystems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) [2] co-developed by INCOSE, IEEEComputer Society, and Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC). Some disciplines usetheir professional societies and other bodies of practicing engineers to publish and maintainhandbooks, standards, codes, etc. that form the body of knowledge or
is to provide a preliminary road-map for Systems Engineeringprograms for curriculum design to incorporate sustainability into their curriculum. As part of thisprocess, our specific objectives are 1) to identify learning objectives and topics, and 2) coursesand levels of courses where sustainability and sustainable design can be taught. A brief summaryof sustainability curriculum practices at different institutions is also provided.Some of the possible sustainability topics that are considered in this research are life cycleassessment, alternative energy sources, principles of sustainability, greenhouse gases, carbonfootprint, energy audits, design for sustainability, managing systems based on triple bottom line(environment, economy and

She believes that well-designed digital experiences and technology can improve the quality of human living, and her goal is to design, make, and create things that have an impact on society. Having this personal mission statement in mind, her design and research have been focusing on human-centered design for the greater good. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Measuring Individuals’ Systems Thinking Skills through the Development of an Immersive Virtual Reality Complex System ScenariosAbstractThe proposed virtual reality (VR) gaming scenario provides a virtual profile that assesses
ownership of their own learning. The discovery approach used by the author tries to buildon these principles to establish an innovative instructional design by marrying content withpresentation style in theory as well as in practice. Utilizing real-world problems as a stimulus forstudent learning is not at all new and has been in practice for a very long time. Educators haveunderstood that scholars have defined problem-based learning as minds-on, hands-on, focused,experiential learning. Instructors have also been encouraged to act as cognitive coaches who cannurture an environment that can support open inquiry. The author was inspired by the uniqueideas presented by these scholars and researchers. He has tried to build on such intelligent ideasto
best possible system solution. Inpractice, the top-down approach is counter-poised with situational exigencies concerning what isavailable, physically possible, permitted for use, or for which parties external to the developmentproject have imposed constraints. As a result, the practical method of systems engineering is toseek a comprehensive design solution that satisfies a range of constraints and provides a goodsolution which satisfices the major stakeholders.Systems engineering education stresses taking a holistic view of the situation to ensure that thesystem designed is the most appropriate throughout the system life cycle. Systems engineerstypically have a background in a particular technology domain, providing the systems engineer
deficiency in generative thinking at the systemlevel in students. The lack of courses where students are challenged to integrate all the knowledge they Page 26.1271.6have acquired during their undergraduate engineering career, and the high volume of demand ofengineers with system integration knowledge has led some engineering schools to developgraduate programs that educate engineers on how to incorporate all their engineering backgroundknowledge, and experience in the practical development of engineering systems. For example,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a graduate system engineering program thatemphasizes the importance of
