The SCL represent leadership competencies of an organization’sleadership, and they are aimed at enabling leaders to deal with systemic challenges that arisefrom a target system of interest21. In such a way SCL competencies are differentiated from thetechnical systems competencies of the team members, which have been discussed in detail inSchindel et al.20. In order to put the need for such leadership skills into context, we briefly recalltwo real-world examples – one of which resulted in a costly failure, and the other of whichresulted in a success and therefore illustrated the benefit of systemic thinking at leadershiplevels

Education, 2019SENIOR DESIGN CASE STUDY: APPLICATION OF SYSTEM ENGINEERING CONCEPTS IN THE DESIGN OF A CNC ROUTER 1ABSTRACTSystem engineering (SE) is a multidisciplinary approach for the design, management, andrealization of a complex system. In product development, SE is utilized on structuring a productdevelopment process into simple and collaborative activities that proceed throughout the entireproduct life-cycle, while at the same time, supporting engineers’ decision making. Project basedengineering design classes are suitable for undergraduate students to study and practice theconcepts of SE while solving real-world design problems. In this paper, we document the productdevelopment process, especially the

Students are tasked to pick a few tools and use them to address a reallife problem. The tools used in this study include requirements analysis, conformance,architecture development, and standards identification, use case analysis, analysis of alternativesand others. This process encourages learning the implementation of systems engineering in aneducational environment.

Good systems engineering practice is essential for the effective design,fabrication, testing and operation of complex systems, such as spacecraft and aircraft.However, teaching good systems engineering to undergraduates is often viewed as either impossible(because “true” systems engineering capabilities must be developed in real, professional settings) orimpractical (because it requires sophisticated tools that are best covered at the Masters level).
