questionnaire used forthe educators can be found in appendix B. Note that there are not many differences between thetwo questionnaires, as we were mainly interested in feedback regarding the implemented/to-be-implemented features of the solution. The few differences will be apparent during the resultanalysis.We received responses from ten students and six tutors, which represents a response rate ofrespectively 40% and 66%. The feedback from both students and tutors showed a high interestin the features of this solution.Respondents profileNine out of ten of students who answered this questionnaire are undergraduate students, whereasthe last one is a post-graduate student. 70 % of students estimate that they are beginners in SE,and the most usual way of

of ‘features’ has been identified as an important aspect of product success.Ulwick proposes that new product success is most often correlated with a “need first” approachthat first explores stakeholder needs and desired features rather than an “idea first” or creativitydriven approach (Ulwick, 2011). Crismond and Adams compare the traits of student designerscompared to more experienced designers and conclude that students a. don’t collect enough orthe right information before they start designing and b. make design decisions without properlyconsidering all options (Crismond and Adams, 2012). In addition, when designing new productsit is important to include features to retain current customers as well as attract new customers(Hamilton et al

Discussion: Provide examples of a service system4) Cooperative team-based system design:The culminating assignment that was worth 30% of the course grade included a team-basedsystem design project. The students were able to select a system to design, where they had toapply the systems engineering principles, methods and tools framework, shown in
