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. This technique of educating students not only helps them learn andretain the material, but it also helps address important issues. It provides a broad systemsperspective to domain specific problems.

In spite of these programs running fordecades, the interaction between universities and companies was not progressing fast enough.Therefore, a few years ago NSF’s Directorates for Education and Human Resources; Engineering;and Computer and Information Science and Engineering introduced ‘Non-Academic ResearchInternships for Graduate Students (INTERN)’. Even the critics of Stokes’ model have recognizedthat ‘working with industry can provide tremendous benefits and generate many new questions offundamental importance’ [5].A key aspect that is absent in these various analyses of research has been the education

While promising, these coursestend to be offered, much like other courses in the curriculum, as offerings that increaseknowledge of specific methods and tools, rather than providing students the opportunity toexperience their education as a continuum and progression of knowledge that supports theintegrated systems thinking mindset that is needed in an integrated/connected digital world.A growing number of graduate programs offering doctoral degrees in engineering education haveemerged since 2004, when Purdue University and Virginia Tech transformed engineeringfundamentals

The linkage between ST skills and PP has not been investigated

By exploring a middle ground between these twoextremes, the INCA approach is able to maintain much of the flexibility and adaptability of free-form authoring, while at the same time requiring only minimal technical skills of the instructor.The result is a system geared towards engineering education, a context characterized by a usercommunity with strong basic technical aptitude but widely varying web programming skills, and aunique set teaching approaches and materials that do not fit easily into the rigid website schemasprovided by commercial systems.After several semesters of beta-trials, the INCA system is now in full release within theengineering college at Northern Arizona University.
