The SE aspects selected for the CockpitSystems & Displays course focused on improving the Risk Assessment, Risk Mitigation, andRisk Management aspects, in addition to improving the project management and tracking.Courses Descriptions and ModificationsFigure 1 displays course relationships for the three courses contained in the project. The capstonedesign course sequence consists of Aerospace Vehicle Design I and Aerospace Vehicle DesignII, each one semester long, offered in successively. Cockpit Systems & Displays is also a onesemester course and is an optional course students can complete. Students may elect to takeAerospace Vehicle Design II and

The authors describe the capabilitiesof the tools and provide an evaluation of their capabilities based on the update of an existingexperience, the development of new educational experiences, and the application to learningassessment in a class environment.1 introductionSystems engineering and technical leadership (SETL) is a multidisciplinary practice that is asmuch an art as a science. While a traditional model of education can teach the fundamental bodyof knowledge, it is not until this knowledge is put into

ideas rooted inSystems Engineering.The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)1 defines Systems Engineeringas “an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems.”The Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK), created by Body of Knowledge andCurriculum to Advance Systems Engineering (BKCASE) project2, notes that systemsengineering includes the “full life cycle of successful systems, including problemformulation, solution development and operational sustainment and use.” As noted in theSEBoK, a host of criteria such as continuous process improvement, considerations fortradeoffs, system integration, safety, recycling, etc., are needed while developing solutions fortechnical problems. In fact

US News and World report hasidentified a significant trend in Law Schools increasingly recruiting applicants with science, Page 26.1048.2engineering, and mathematics backgrounds.1 The law, on the other hand, has progressively hadto include technical considerations as it maintains its relevance in modern society. Secondly,while the law has remained insular because of its professional organization, the law has becomeincreasingly accessible, discoverable and analyzable. Engineering, is increasingly participatingin society beyond the traditional engineering

framework for theteaching and learning process based on a concept familiar to most engineers: feedback controlsystems. Feedback control has long been a staple of engineering curricula, primarily in electricalengineering, but also across other disciplines such as mechanical and chemical engineering. Thisis largely due to the diversity of applications of control theory.[1] Feedback control concepts havealso been applied in areas outside of engineering, such as psychology and human behavior,particularly in the areas of goal setting and performance.[2,3] However, in the field of engineeringeducation, the concepts from control theory have been underused. We build upon the ideaspresented in the related literature by providing a novel control systems

Consequently, every subsystem must beautonomous to process the data from the low sensor component level to the high data controllevel, and generate an output data that can be used for the next subsystem as its input Page 26.1271.4information. This data is processed and analyzed by every single subsystem in its own uniquelanguage, and then translated to a universal language that is understood by all the subsequentsubsystems.
