A capstone course should be a synthesis, reflection and integration,and a bridge or a real-world preparatory experience that focuses on the post-graduation future.”Other definitions include, a crowning course or experience coming at the end of a sequence ofcourses with the specific objective of integrating a body of relatively fragmented knowledge intoa unified whole [4], and an experimental learning activity in which analytical knowledge gainedfrom previous courses is joined with the practice of engineering in a

tosystems engineering in this paper. Planning for this new academic track took place in Fall, 2011;the pilot of the Introduction to Systems Engineering course occurred in Spring, 2012 and Fall,2012. The course is consciously structured after the introductory course at the University ofVirginia (UVa), the transfer target for a majority of PVCC students, to ensure that the transfercredit is accepted and students are prepared for success. Based on our experiences in the pilots,the syllabus became slightly modified to prepare students for study in other undergraduateprograms in systems engineering. Course goals, objectives, and content are described. Finally,we offer student reflections on their experiences and course utility as they prepare to

The younger students have the chance to engage in research, brainstorming, computerprogramming and presentation, all as part of the overlying theme of open-ended problem solving– the college age students gain experience with team work, critical analysis, deliberations, large-scale event planning and reflective-organization shaping discussions. All of these great skillscombine with the chance for the younger generation to hear the wisdom

The intermediate data is called “derived data”, and this approach iscommon when the derived data is important in its own right, when there are several possibledifferent analyses that must be applied to the derived data, or when it is useful to access it fordebugging and verification purposes. In these circumstances, it is tempting to save the deriveddata for later processing by other programs. This is dangerous since changes to the original datafile will not be reflected in the saved derived data, complicating re-versioning of both theoriginal data and the program used to create the derived data.
