American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Practicing and Assessing Formal Systems Competencies In ECE Senior DesignAbstractSystems engineering concepts were included for the first time this year in the Electrical andComputer Engineering sequence of senior design courses at Rose-Hulman Institute ofTechnology. In this year-long program, teams of three to four students complete an externallysponsored project. In this year’s class, a subset of the Model-Based Systems Engineering(MBSE) Competencies was introduced at the beginning of the course, and assigned as modelartifacts to appear in project deliverables. This paper presents an early report of a work inprogress, and as such, it primarily describes the

Although the newABET criteria has increased the flexibility to develop a responsive and adaptivecurriculum, developing value added curriculum remains a significant challenge. Torespond to this challenge, Industrial Engineering has incorporated a modular approach tocourses in the
recognized quality assurance andaccreditation of engineering educational programs systems, such as EUR-ACE [10] and theWashington Accord [11]. And only after this, to design or modernize the curriculum, selectingthe necessary set of disciplines, teaching and learning techniques, adequate evaluation methodsthat can ensure the achievement of the stated learning outcomes.At current stage of transformation that is taking place in the system of higher engineeringeducation in Latin America, it was visible through the training workshops held in the region thatis necessary to support universities seeking to make the necessary changes, while making everyeffort so that these updates do not become just a formal requirement, but lead to real changesdeveloping

to minimize both labor and environmental costs. In our previous work, a systematicapproach to disassembly line design is proposed, which executes a disassembly-to-order model ratherthan disassembly-to-stock [2]. Disassembly, being a labor-intensive operation, is expensive to deploy.Hence, it is critical to conduct performance analysis before a process plan is applied to the shop floor. This project addresses this issue by designing and simulating a disassembly-to-order system.Murdock Undergraduate Research Program at PLU supports part of the project and the other part isfinished over the course of two-semester Engineering Junior/Senior Clinic at Rowan University as part of
