definition of mission engineering is the deliberate planning, analyzing,organizing, and integrating of current and emerging operational and system capabilities toachieve desired mission effects.Mission engineering applies the mission context to complicated and complex system(s) ofsystems [2]. Most current systems engineering practices do not fully address the uniquecharacteristics of mission engineering, addressing the end-to-end mission as the ‘system’ andextending further beyond data exchange between the individual systems for cross-cuttingfunctions, controls, and trades across the systems.Mission engineering differs from the established term of mission analysis in that the latter onlyaddresses examination of current operational and system

convergent validity testing between the results and the systems thinking construct.Reflective NarrativeDescription: Students will provide open-ended reflections after each Think Aloud activity and onereport on systems thinking and its implications on project management and engineered systems atthe end of the course. A. The open-ended reflections focus on how the student engaged and learned in the course. It encourages students to recognize positive, negative and neutral aspects of the task(s). B. The report challenges students to determine whether they perceive a benefit of systems thinking in engineering and must support their position. Any individual adjustments made between the pre- and post- knowledge survey is

requirements’ list for the project. The instructortypically shows a case study project example explaining Step 1 tasks, generally in an in-classworkshop, so that each team can take the following actions:1. Break down the project description, recognize and highlight key words and form a list of high-level requirements.2. Share the list with other teams for peer review to refine the list.3. Prepare a list of questions to obtain the instructor/s’ and sponsor’s assistance.The high-level requirement list after this step generally captures key system behavioral featuresand main system functions. Table 2 (page 8) shows the input and output of Step 1 for a casestudy exercise conducted in class.Objectives achieved during this step: 1. Team gets an easy

the US and even around the world. This accreditation certainly ensures highquality of the engineering education that is provided to the students. However, with ABET’sapproach of accrediting individual programs, universities (and departments) tend to develop theirengineering programs largely in isolation. There is likely to be a strong overlap between thecollege-level math and basic sciences courses that are required by ABET, but the courses onengineering topics may or may not be common across multiple programs. There could certainlybe overlap based on the history of how these courses were initially designed, the programs theywere initially offered under, the faculty member(s) who designed and/or taught them, scheduling,etc. Universities and

Select or design specific graded events as assessment artifacts that directly evaluate the student expectations defined by PC, minimizing artifacts of coarse granularity such as semester average or course grade(s). d. Conduct a review process to down-select candidate assessment artifacts to a manageable and ABET review-tenable subset that adequately evaluates the program student population. e. Ensure alignment among the new assessment artifacts, individual course learning objectives, learning experiences, revised PCs, and institutional and ABET outcomes. [9, pp. 39-53]4.
