composites for hulls, decks, risers and otherprimary structure, and the automotive industry uses composites to fabricate body panels, springsand drive shafts. The civil engineering community uses glass and carbon reinforced plastics inthe repair of aging bridges, piers, columns and other structures vital to the nation's infrastructureand economy. Exposure to the mechanics of composite materials and structures is usually reserved forthe graduate student. However, many undergraduate institutions find the need to provide theirstudents with experience with these advanced materials and have crafted courses to do so. Thisdescribes the motivation at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). For the same reasons asother industries, the U. S. Navy is

foundations of systemsengineering.IntroductionIt is increasingly recognized that the context of engineering is one dominated by systems and that thepractice of engineering is typically directed towards design of engineering systems, ranging from thesmall to large scale and even complex systems of systems. Engineering curricula, with their traditionalfocus on the disciplinary contributions to design, encourage a mindset in which students seek technicalsolutions often rooted in a specific engineering discipline with little regard for the context in which theirproduct, system, or service may be deployed, the societal or business need(s) it may fulfill or even itsrelations to all the other engineering, business or ‘environmental’ domains that can
