links. 3. Testing reveals problems and changes propagate to other components. This learning objective emphasizes the iterative process sometimes required in systems design to resolve communication interdependencies between designers. It highlights how incorrect or incomplete requirements can cause problems in systems design, testing as a part of a larger verification and validation plan can uncover problems, and how design changes have a tendency to propagate between subsystems.These topics expose fundamental parts of the SE process26 but also align with broader objectivesin engineering education27 to view design as a multidisciplinary activity where designers musteffectively work in teams to meet conflicting

undergraduateclasses. New course materials integrating parallel and distributed computing concepts weredeveloped and offered to undergraduate students. Class surveys were collected to guide futuredevelopment. Based on the results, more courses will be revised to accommodate HPC contentsin the coming years. A project-based learning scheme will also be introduced to our new coursedesign and implementation including subjects like Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Thisarticle presents the current outcomes and findings of the project and a detailed plan of theongoing education and research activities.BackgroundHPC technology has moved beyond bulky multi-rack supercomputers1, making its way into eversmaller systems, in particular, embedded devices and

understand that only their imagination limits them to using this flexible toolto develop scenarios to test the worthiness of the design project. Stress over and over again thepurpose is not to make a Financial Operational Model to get a value for the Internal Rate of Return,Net Present Value, and Payback time in years. It is to develop scenarios to test the project’sviability, to see potential weaknesses that must be studied further before moving ahead with theproject, and to plan for success. And that is not all. A good Financial Operational Model is a livingdocument. Once the design is built and put in practice, it still has use. It can be modified todetermine upgrades to potential equipment, changes to feed stocks, issues with labor wages

written-oralcommunication were also the key components of that experience.In general, the transformation took three school years, starting from 2013 to 2016. Inthe 3 transformation rounds, it has established a practical framework to share withengineering educators. The goal of this case study is to illustrate how initial plan ofcapstone transformation containing only partial perspective has been challenged.Through various self-improvement mechanisms (illustrated in Figure 1), challengeshave been overcome and the capstone course gradually evolved towardcomprehension and optimization from 2013 to 2016.Figure 1: The evolution process (rounds 0-3) in Dynamic Control System capstone transformation from2013 to 2016 in the current case study.

of traditional, competitive, and contemporary design priorities and features that are valued by stakeholders - the contemporary items include environmental, social, and sustainable design priorities, ● The Feature/Design view clearly identify comparative feature attainment for multiple candidate designs, ● The views use the same feature set for both designing the system and selecting a final design from a set of candidates.Future WorkSeveral future activities are planned to continue this work. These views will be incorporatedwithin capstone design courses that have currently adopted the approach outlined in Simoni et al.This will provide an opportunity to gauge their effectiveness at improving design
