Disciplinary Grounding: students must have fundamental knowledge from all of the disciplines needed 3. Integration: students must know how to integrate the different worldviews, approaches, and tools used by the different disciplines 4. Critical Awareness: students must be able to reflect on the appropriateness and utility of taking an interdisciplinary approach for a given problem.Students apply for the LEP at East Central State University at the end of their first year and, ifaccepted, are in the program from their sophomore through senior years

Education, 2014 Introducing the Fundamentals of Systems Engineering to Freshman through Various Interactive Group ActivitiesAbstractThe concepts and tools taught in an introductory course to Systems Engineering involve amindset which is not familiar to freshman undergraduate students and is slightly different fromthat needed for more traditional engineering disciplines. Teaching Systems Engineering at afreshman level is challenging because students do not have work experiences to draw from tosolidify the tools they are learning. In order to overcome this barrier, immersive group activitieswere introduced to provide a simulated context in which students can apply and learn about thebenefits of Systems Engineering. Thus, the

conjecture at this point. Introduction and Background In 2005, the Journal for Engineering Education (JEE) fielded a special issue focused on The art and science of engineering education research which was drawn largely from a report by the National Academies (The Engineer of 2020). The bottom line of the NAE report [1], and the JEE special edition [2] was that change is hard, but that undergraduate engineering programs must have the ability to change to meet societal needs. It is now 2021, sixteen years after The Engineer of 2020 concept introduction. Our professional disciplines have come through a pandemic, and we all have changed in the face of strong, and sometimes mandated

To teach both visual and auditory learners therefore,engineering professors should present information through lectures and reinforce suchpresentations with real-time demonstration in classroom. Students’ learning may be motivatedand students’ engagement and comprehension of fundamental engineering principles may beincreased by a teaching style that balances concrete information with theoretical concepts. It isnoted that engineering laboratories may involve the measurement of dynamic

may be a labor shortage in the near future as these engineersbegin to retire [Wright, 2014]. Retiring systems engineers, specifically, are a major concern in thedefense industry [SERC, 2013; Charette, 2008] as well as at NASA [Bagg et al., 2003]. Oneobvious solution is to train more undergraduates in systems engineering skills. However, there isa pervasive belief that successful systems engineers can only be made through experience [e.g.Armstrong & Wade, 2015; Squires et al., 2011; Davidz et al., 2005]. This belief may partially bedue to the previous generation of systems engineers not receiving much systems engineering-specific training in their university engineering education, as noted by Armstrong & Wade [2015]in their interview

for systems engineering programs. However, the 2011-12EAC accreditation cycle documentation does not list any actual verbiage that proposes adefinition beyond the general criteria for all engineering programs. The definition of “systemsengineering” espoused in this paper is an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to designthat integrates various engineering specialties into the goal of realizing complex products orprocesses. However, whatever the formal definition, all would agree that a systems engineeringapproach is valuable for all practicing engineers to appreciate.This paper describes the introduction of the concepts of systems engineering to students in amechanical engineering junior-level required thermo/fluids course through the

proficiency in these skills upon graduation fromundergraduate programs [4]. This result is supported by commonly cited findings that engineerturnover is partly due to a lack of understanding of the big picture and “boring work” (or a lack ofappreciation for engineering functions beyond hands-on, engineering design). A national,Canadian survey showed similar results [5]. The most common reason for engineer turnover(voluntary and involuntary) were related to conflict with the role itself, including the engineer’sdesire for a career change, job satisfaction and feelings of the role being a poor fit. Accordingly,researchers, educators, industry, government and accreditation bodies all posit the need forsystemic and transformative change in engineering

Each team is given a series ofconceptual problems to be solved by the creation of a new product. This practicum exposes theteam to current product development methods and issues beyond functionality such as humanfactors, safety, engineering, economics, maintenance and manufacturing.
