Page 25.848.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Introducing Systems Engineering Concepts in a Senior Capstone Design CourseAbstractSenior capstone design projects can often expand in complexity to include systems of systems,particularly in projects involving embedded systems to control a larger system. Principles ofSystems Engineering (SE) can be integrated into the capstone course to help students—who maynot have been exposed previously—manage this increased complexity.This paper presents an evolving framework of essential SE fundamental elements, including thetop-level processes of Requirements Analysis, Functional Analysis and Allocation, Design orSynthesis

At the end of acourse, a final project usually consisted in applying some tool taught in the course to an actualsituation.That method seemed to work well enough, though careful analysis revealed the practical workto be quite superficial, almost automatic, and not effective as a focused learning environment(Checkland, 19813) in which students applied methodologies, learned from experience, thenrepeated the exercise to improve familiarity with it and skill in

There are number of factors such as funds unavailability at the proper time,unavailability of skilled manpower, incapability of management to manage projectproperly, lack of commitment from project team and problems in the of supply of rawmaterial on time. By understanding the causes of cost and time overruns, we cancontrol cost and time overruns in engineering projects. These overruns may be due toexternal or internal factors that make engineering projects to delay and over budget.The main

Tollgates to move from one phase ofthe process to another were utilized in managing the project. This process helped ensure that aneed to backtrack did not occur.
