The students were enrolled in Stevens’ Systems Engineering Graduate programand were located in five geographically dispersed locations. This initial simulation provided thebaseline system design used in all of the subsequent simulations.The Design Simulation was initiated by defining specific roles. Class instructors acted as the“Customer” for the system being designed, developing the requirements and Statement of Work(SOW) for the system and making all the key program-level decisions, e.g., competitionwin/loss, throughout the simulation.The students’ functional leaders

, professional engineers require not only technological know-how, but also a set of key professional skills and broad understanding of contemporary issues. Critical to efforts to prepare local engineering undergraduates for careers in today’s economy, it is argued, is a rethinking of how engineers are educated. In this paper, the major aspects of calls for reform are highlighted, with a discussion of suggested pedagogical approaches and changes in learning environment that can better prepare engineers for the roles they will play in the 21st century. One set of innovations which appears to be having positive impacts in this direction are the efforts of the Arts and Science Program at a small Middle Eastern

development of GRCSE was to conduct a survey of systems engineering(SE) graduate programs offered internationally. This exposed the author team to differencesbetween these programs in a number of issues including matters arising from local marketconditions, jurisdictional issues, education traditions, the place of a postgraduate degree in theeducation and work career of students, industry domains which needed to be supported, the typesof work into which graduates would expect to proceed, and the balance of systems-centric anddomain-centric SE needs. This diversity was recognized and accepted in the GRCSE project asthe contextual facts-on-the-ground which must be accommodated to enable a referencecurriculum to meaningfully inform program design to an

competency and ethics.For instance, at present, in the UK engineering is poorly understood and beset by stereotypes.As noted by National Grid and the Royal Academy of Engineering1, there is a lack of clarityabout what it encompasses and low appreciation of its huge contribution to the society,making it almost an imperceptible industry. It is worth noting that, there is a huge possibilityto raise and enhance profile of engineering, to inspire young people by demonstrating theimpact of engineering’s successes and to ensure more of them aspire to career as an engineer.According to Harris2, warnings have emerge from leading figures in higher education,employment and management across the engineering sector. They affirm that a growingproportion of
