Prerequisites for Capstone Design Abstract A NASA project to improve university design education curricula has resulted in the addition of an undergraduate introduction to systems engineering and a spacecraft subsystems modeling laboratory as prerequisites to the capstone spacecraft/mission design course in aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The systems engineering course materials, created by the second author, are based on NASA systems engineering practices and available in the public domain on the internet (http://spacese.spacegrant.org). The current paper summarizes the content of the systems engineering course, as well as a companion lab on modeling spacecraft subsystems, and focuses on the positive

Lessons werestructured to emphasize the need for critical, systems thinking across different dimensions andstudents were encouraged to integrate and apply knowledge that they acquired in differentclasses, including math and science. This aspect of the curriculum addressed the apparent lack ofknowledge integration across different classes at both the high school and undergraduateeducation8-9. In order to promote the application of learned knowledge, students, organized insmall groups, worked on a class project over the period of several days. Each

Project basedlearning begins with an assignment to carry out one or more tasks that lead to the production of afinal product. The final product could be a design, a model, a device or a computer simulation.The work done on the project is

the system.The authors feel that the systems engineering approach needs to be introduced in engineeringcourses that involve the design of projects. Engineering systems design and analysis mostlyrequires the use of Newtonian mechanics including: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and lawsof thermodynamics. The systems engineering approach prepares the students in design anddevelopment of engineering systems from the perspective of concurrent engineering or life cycleengineering. The design of complex systems such as automobiles, airplanes, space vehicles,power plants, and large ships may be used to give a feel to the students for the application ofsystems engineering design approach.The systems engineering approach to design is to consider the

) and then narrows the choices down by factors such as productioncost or reliability (convergent thinking). The concept of design thinking has been studied sincethe 1970’s [1] and its teaching methods and central characteristics are quite well known [4]–[6].2.2 Design MethodsDesign thinking is a type of cognition, but it also describes the process of design, otherwiseknown as a method. In many cases the method is simply the journey the designer takesthroughout the course of design project, though some have modeled the process visually. TimBrown, Stanford, SAP and a few others’ design thinking models were compared in a paper byEfeoglu, Moller, Serie, and Boer [3].

purposefully employed in all areas of life: design of anyobject or product or service has to be in line with the three pillars of economic, social, andecological sustainability. As this is an integrated design process that demands cooperation frommany different sides of the design team, the role of systems engineering and engineeringmanagement to oversee these projects becomes extremely important.This is why today’s systems engineers will have to have a great understanding of sustainabilityand how the triple bottom line could be and should be met for every project. They need tounderstand many different principles of sustainable design, for example, how to use low-impactmaterials that are non-toxic, sustainably-produced or recycled materials; how to be

The team developing theCorBoK determined an intermediate position reflecting that all systems engineers work in aparticular specialization of systems engineering, but that for different graduates thatspecialization will be different, and that all graduates are first assigned work in which theycontribute to a project but are under the authority of more senior systems engineers who areresponsible for the project as a whole. That is, it is unrealistic to expect a new graduate, even of amaster’s program, to be suitably

In each system, the ability of astudent to consider the constraints of economics and incorporate economics into engineeringdesigns, projects and considerations is a requirement. As such, engineering programs must offerEngineering Economics in their programs and often fulfill this requirement with a coursededicated to this topic though it could be fulfilled in other courses such as design courses.As part an internal improvement study
