Industry-universitypartnership is a requirement of this model, which calls for concerted participation of industryexperts in the training of students through identification of industry-relevant research problems,co-advising about how to approach their practical solutions, and training for other non-technicalskills that are crucial for success in industry. An assessment of student demand and their experience with P3’s non-traditional features,support of university administration, and the challenges felt by interested faculty advisers duringits implementation at Lehigh University were presented previously [3, 4].

When put together, these three parts work hand in hand to describe thesystem completely. These parts of the same system also make it easy for students to divide theirthought processes into separate perspectives. These parts are (i) Project Concept Diagram/s, (ii)User Operational Flowcharts, and (iii) Functional Block Diagrams. Literature suggests that thesecharts/diagrams have a unique place in the System Engineering approach.

AI is a generalterm for technology that “enables computers and machines to stimulate human learning,comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy” (19). Under theumbrella of AI are multiple AI-based tools (AI-T) that can assist in the engineering designprocess.The first of these is Machine Learning (ML). According to Radhika Jajkumar, “ML refers to theprocess of training a set of algorithms on large amounts of data to recognize patterns, whichhelps make predictions and decisions” (20).
