practice in an integrated, real worldenvironment that a systems engineer can develop the necessary insights and wisdom to becomeproficient. Systems engineering educators are struggling to meet the growing educationaldemands for a workforce able to solve problems driven by accelerating technology, rapidlyevolving needs, and increasing systems complexity [1-3]. At the same time, there is a wideninggap in industry between the need and the availability of systems engineering practitioners withthe necessary experience to address these challenges [4].The Systems Engineering Experience Accelerator (SEEA) project was designed as a response tothese critical needs and challenges [5]. The project goals are to:  assess the feasibility of an immersive

The 21st century skills include critical thinking, communication, teamworkcollaboration, metacognitive awareness, and creativity. Developing such skills will enable futureengineers to effectively engage in interdisciplinary endeavors and adapt to changes in nationalpolicies and emergent technologies. This paper presents a project that integrates 21st century skilldevelopment (i.e., metacognitive awareness, constructive thinking, and communication) into amanufacturing systems course.

In response to the request from the college, Trane employees worked alongside thecollege faculty to assist the college in achieving this goal through a few different projects. The first projectcompleted through this partnership was the installation of a one-ton water source heat pump created byTrane. Trane employed a current Lipscomb engineering student for a summer internship with the specificpurpose of being involved in this project. Trane had a vision to install the water source heat pump to be astand-alone unit to be utilized as a testing device for engineering students in thermal-fluids courses.

In the implementation stage a number of the upper-level and elective courses are taught by adjuncts. This allows the program to develop and to be “tweaked” before commitments are made to full-time, tenure-track faculty. • The new program focuses on just two areas, materials and electromechanical systems. These two areas aligned well both with the existing skill sets in the department and with the needs of local industry. • The senior design project, the capstone project
