engineeringexperience. This paper discusses how the Robotic Mining Competition is used to providestudents with a multidisciplinary, systems engineering learning experience. Specifically, itpresents the general design process used by the University of North Dakota Robotic MiningCompetition Team. The paper also contains a discussion of how the team evolved from year toyear based on their successes and failures.IntroductionAs engineers develop more complex systems there is a need for every engineer to have at least abasic understanding of systems engineering. NASA defines systems engineering as “a robustapproach to the design, creation, and operation of systems.”1 This process involves theestablishment of a set of project objectives, creation of a set of design

the use of validation rules to support instruction (both stand-alonemodeling exercises and a larger, collaborative modeling project). Validation rules have provento be effective in reducing modeler errors when added incrementally in parallel with conceptsintroduced in class. The rules simplify grading (since the instructor can focus on value-addedcontent instead of semantic correctness). In addition, the rules conform to the Seven Keys toEffective Feedback proposed by Grant Wiggins: 1. Goal-Referenced (Error reduction/style conformance) 2. Tangible and Transparent (Rules clearly explain what is wrong) 3. Actionable (Error messages direct the modeler how to fix the issue) 4. User-Friendly (Private feedback that marks elements

Statics,computing, electrical science, thermodynamics and a course in materials (either materials scienceor strength of materials) are the most commonly incorporated traditional engineering courses inthe curriculum.As seen in Figure 4, all of the engineering management programs require a course in operationsand production management as well as a course in project management. A course in qualitymanagement is also a part of most of the curricula.Most engineering management curricula also have required courses that are more traditionallyconsidered to be business courses. The common business courses that are required are a coursein economics, and also accounting (cost, managerial or financial) and marketing.All schools also

This would seem to make engineering economics relevant because two of theprimary criteria of the utility of an engineering project are: Does it work? Does it provide a return on its investment?Nonetheless, if the National Council of

been suggested, most importantly the lack oftechnology teachers with adequate training. In Sweden, most teachers who teach technologyare educated in the natural sciences, and has little or no training in technology or engineering.This has led to a technology education that deals with individual artefacts rather than systems,and these artefacts tend to be studied and analysed using methods, tools and criteria from thenatural sciences rather than the engineering sciences.10Through a project called ‘Boost for teachers’ (Lärarlyftet), the Royal Institute of Technology(KTH) in Stockholm has received government funding for professional development coursesfor teachers in compulsory school who teach technology without having proper education.

As students progress through a series ofPowerPoint presentations, they are introduced to various systems engineering topic areas viadifferent subject matter experts. These experts “talk” to the student and explain their area ofexpertise and how it relates to systems engineering on the light rail system.

Further, Maier basically does not support the notion that systems andsoftware architecting should be based upon the same or similar methods. His reasons aretraceable to his observations as to the differences between system and software developmentsand especially their structures.As part of his case, Maier also points to a comment by one of our most capable softwareengineers, Frederick Brooks.

The introduction of an on-demand validation suite (See Table 1) significantly improvedproject quality (no projects have been submitted with violations since its introduction). It allowsthe codification of the quality checks and when the validation engine processes the rules,violating elements are identified within the model.

The result was a Design EvaluationFunction of the form E = f (X; Yd, Yi), shown last in Figure 2.Although too late for the First Edition in 1981, all subsequent editions of Systems Engineeringand Analysis by Blanchard and Fabrycky incorporated the DDP concept for system designevaluation.1 Also, an added notion was adopted demonstrating that equivalence must beemployed within each alternative
