c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 A Laboratory-based Course in Systems Engineering Focusing on the Design of a High-speed Mag-lev Pod for the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition (Work in Progress)AbstractA new course has been developed for undergraduate engineering students that enhances theirunderstanding of the multidisciplinary aspects of systems engineering. Students pursing a generalengineering degree with concentrations in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering arecollaborating to develop a prototype for a high-speed, magnetically-levitated transportation podfor the Hyperloop Competition, recently commissioned by Elon Musk of SpaceX Corporation.This project is an excellent opportunity

into a user handbook for the department’s use. This handbookillustrates the most effective lean six-sigma tools from the research, and provides step-by-stepinstructions on how to use them. The outcome of this research prompted the restructuring of thedepartment and the creation of a new position. This paper will provide the methods used andexplanations given, results found from this project and explain why a complete lean six-sigmaproject is not feasible for this type of environment.IntroductionAccording to a 2007 Industry Week Magazine Survey, 70% of US companies are using sometype of continuous improvement program (Lean, Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, etc.) butonly 9% report good results, and less than 25% are satisfied with their

-1Abstract:Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is transforming how systems engineering ispracticed. System modeling with SysML (the Systems Modeling Language) drives rigor andcrispness into the formulation of system behavior, structure, and parametrics. The author hasintroduced MBSE into the Systems Architecture and Systems Engineering courses that are partof the MS Product Development (MPD) program at the University of Detroit Mercy. Thispresentation will discuss lessons learned over the course of several years, culminating in thecapstone project from the Spring 2016 Systems Engineering course.In that course, students were required to model a polar exploration submarine, starting from ahandful of system elements provided by the instructor.

a structure for organizing the material,example approaches that illustrate possible design choices, and recommendations on educationalimplementation.Introduction Antenna theory is a core subject within electrical-engineering education. However, theabstract concepts may be difficult for students to comprehend. Specific application examplesand hands-on experimentation can aid student understanding. Antenna projects that are includedin electromagnetics courses can reinforce principles in design and measurement. These activitiesmay even incorporate competition, along with an element of fun, as in the case of a long-runningexercise used by the United States Air Force Academy. In their antenna theory course,engineering students design

objective of the course isto be able to synthesize and apply the systems engineering methods and tools to a real-worldsystem design project. To achieve this goal, the author has adapted a healthcare case study fromthe author’s prior process and systems improvement work experience, to guide the students tobetter understand, synthesize and apply systems engineering. The case study is aligned to theVee Life Cycle model, and teaches principles and tools in each of the following phases: Conceptof Operations; Requirements and Architecture; Detailed Design; Implementation, Integration,Test and Verification; System Verification and Validation; Operation and Maintenance. Thecase study supports the active learning and case study pedagogies, helping students
