. This series of key engineering activities constitutes the major elementsof system architecture, which is an essential predecessor to any successful engineering effort,especially as the complexity of systems/systems of systems and socio-technical systems continueto grow.Unfortunately, these architecture-centric activities and system thinking techniques are nottypically part of an engineering curriculum. Undergraduate academics are so filled with corecourses and humanities that domain learning is primarily limited to the upper class years, leavinglittle room for system architecture. Noticing the gap in system architecture education, severaluniversities have recently started offering architecture related graduate degrees/certificates.However
