As the capability of the computers, hardware-wise and software-wise,increased, engineering educators were able develop better-integrated and interactive visualizationcomponents to support the theory in their courses. Educators developed and adoptedtechnologies to create remote laboratories, and virtual platforms to provide students with theapplication experience.

ArchitectingWe have a quite interesting summary of the background of systems engineering in the academiccommunity15. In particular, Elliott Axelband examines both systems engineering as well as whathe calls “the professionalization of systems architecting”. In other words, he set the stage for amost serious exploration of systems architecting, starting with curricula in academia.As noted earlier in this paper, a first course in systems engineering was introduced into theauthor’s graduate education program more than twenty years ago. System architecting andsoftware engineering (not software architecting) were important parts of that curriculum. As thearchitecting of systems received more attention (e.g., DoDAF2), it was brought into that course.Meanwhile
