exposure to, and retention of, systems engineering principles improveslearning outcomes in an multidisciplinary graduate level course is assessed. 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

cannot be <> by a block). This promotes a crispness inrequirements formulation and fosters singularity and precision.Figure 9: VerificationThe author found that despite providing quality check tables (that contained elements thatviolated a style guide rule), some students had difficulties in using them to improve modelquality. The introduction of an on-demand validation suite (See Table 1) significantly improvedproject quality (no projects have been submitted with violations since its introduction). It allowsthe codification of the quality checks and when the validation engine processes the rules,violating elements are identified within the model. It is relatively simple for modelers to thencorrect the issues (receiving satisfying feedback
