by theVee Model [1] [2] [3] [4]. Table 1. Measuring Learner AchievementThe Systems Engineering (SE) ApproachIn order to promote the systems engineering approach, the COE began by changing the requiredcourses from project management courses to the first two systems engineering courses. Then,the capstone was revised to follow the Vee Model from systems engineering. The perceivedbenefits of implementing systems engineering concepts include:  Shift students’ focus from technology solution to what system must do (e.g. requirements)  SE helps with planning, organizing, executing and evaluating a project  SE provides structure through weekly deliverables to guide students throughout a project

Students enrolled in ahybrid electric vehicle powertrains course were exposed to systems engineering principlesthrough a dedicated lecture focused on team coordination and management of complexengineering systems in the context of the team-based course capstone project. Students wereencouraged to employ systems engineering principles across all aspects of the course (e.g.homework completion and exam preparation) with student collaboration a requirement for theproject. Student surveys were completed immediately following the introductory lecture, whichquantify students’ self-assessed increase in system

through the life cycleof the program. Specifically, this approach allows illustration of the effect of upstream decisionson downstream outcomes in the system lifecycle.Applied in an academic setting, the SEEA concept provides the possibility for a much broaderscope of learning environments than a capstone project or industry internship [9]. These moretraditional approaches provide a beneficial learning experience and support integrating thevarious components of the systems engineering body of knowledge, but are limited by time anddomain. The capstone is usually a single project and at most a year in length. If it covers the fulllifecycle, then it must be a simple project and most likely represents only one domain. Aninternship is even more

This paper will describe this revision effortand preliminary results.Academic Program Description: The Academy’s SE program [2], [3] has produced an averageof 79 undergraduates per year over the previous six years. Administered across sevencooperating academic departments, the program provides core systems engineering educationcoupled with one of six available engineering concentration areas: aeronautical, astronautical,computer, electronics, human factors, or mechanical engineering [4]. Each SE student alsoparticipates in a year-long, senior engineering capstone experience [5] in which acquiredknowledge and skills are practically applied in an engineering
