implemented in the future if a similar design opportunityarises: 1. Have each group submit a schedule with milestones of what they would accomplish, and submit a plan to catch up if they fall behind. 2. Have each student report actual accomplishment in addition to time spent on a topic. 3. Conduct more frequent design reviews.Students in the Systems Engineering course also shared some insights that they gained fromparticipating in the project. The following comments are illustrative, and were received as part oftheir final written project reports for the course, about seven weeks before the final competitionat the SpaceX facility in California.“The journey from the start of the semester until now has been very exciting, daunting

listindicates the main topics covered in the course: Introduction to the product development process. Product planning. Identification of customer needs. Setting target specifications. Concept generation. Concept selection. Prototyping.ST and SE concepts are not explicitly addressed in the course or in other courses in themechanical engineering curriculum.Modifications made to the courseThree main factors were taken into consideration while making changes to the sophomore designcourse to incorporate ST and SE concepts. First, the educational materials and learning activitiesneeded to be appropriate for the level of the course. Second, the time required to cover the newcontent had to be reasonable and the educational materials and

selection, human resources planning and placements [6]. Various competency models exists in the field of SE. Most of them have been developedfor specific contexts, since the required competencies can differ between organizations andprojects, and they can typically be tailored to the organization or project particularities. Themost well-known competency models in the field of SE are: • INCOSE UK Working Group Competency Model: identifies the competencies required to conduct good SE projects[8]. • Defense Acquisition University (DAU) ENG Competency Model: identifies the compe- tencies required for Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition engineering professionals [9]. • NASA Academy of Program/Project and Engineering

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
