electives and the credits can be counted for both the undergraduate and graduatedegree plans. The goal is to accelerate the students’ progress toward achieving advanced degrees.Our project is in synergy with this effort and will positively impact the engineeringundergraduate program. Each proposed new course will be an elective offered for bothundergraduate and graduate students; once enrolled, undergraduate students can learn from andwork with graduate students in the same course, allowing them to experience graduate study.These courses will also provide undergraduate students with opportunities to participate inadvanced research and create a pathway to graduate study. All of the courses developed will beopen to the entire college. The new

capstone has been revised around the Vee Modelto describe systems engineering process. The top-down and bottom-up design perspectives arecompared, and weekly deliverables are presented to help students practice systems engineering.A detailed description of weekly deliverables and rubric for the Critical Design Review aredescribed elsewhere1. Two perspectives of the Vee-Model are described to provide a holisticperspective of system-level thinking2-4. A 3D-printed quadcopter with its stable flight controlare provided as an illustration of the student efforts.5 Major blocks of the system include: (1) thequadcopter frame, (2) the control system, and (3) the power and thrust system.The last part of the paper attempts to compare the Vee Model system

of Alabama in Huntsville. Dr. Mesmer was previously a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University. He completed his Ph.D. in August 2012 at the State University of New York at Buffalo in Mechani- cal Engineering. Also at the University at Buffalo, he completed his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (2010) and a dual B.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (2007). His research has focused on improving the systems engineering process, particularly for large-scale complex systems. He uses his background in decision analysis, multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization, system/subsystem modeling, design theory, and value-based design to perform research

few universities offering systems engineering at that time, but notable in the field wereUniversity of Southern California, University of Missouri at Rolla (now Missouri University of Science andTechnology), Air Force Institute of Technology, Naval Postgraduate School, and the military serviceacademies. The curriculum was designed after reviewing those programs for best practices and textbook recommendations. We gave considerable weight to the evolving body of knowledge beingencapsulated by INCOSE in their Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK, 2015),itself inspired by the work of the Project Management Institute (PMI).The MSSE was stood up at the main campus in 2004 with the following course list: • SE600 Systems

data on online-student toinstructor real-time interactions using the archived recordings of 6 Systems Engineering coursesoffered in Fall 2015. The presence and participation of the students, and the types of successfulinteraction elicitation techniques are described for this dataset. The challenges and opportunitiesof instructing synchronous sections of systems engineering courses are discussed. Results maybe used to develop best practices for instructors of Systems Engineering online coursework.KeywordsSystems Engineering, Distance Education, Graduate Education, Synchronous Online LearningIntroduction Systems Engineering (SE) is a discipline and a sub-discipline of engineering that expertshave identified as a key component of

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
