courseAbstractThis paper presents an innovative educational approach used in a sophomore systemsengineering course, where LEGO Mindstorms robots are integrated to accelerate theunderstanding of complex systems engineering concepts. While hands-on learning tools likeLEGO Mindstorms are often used in engineering education, our approach uniquely emphasizesthe unpredictability and complexity inherent in real-world systems engineering. Rather thanfocusing solely on technology or project completion, we incorporate controlled disruptionsduring exercises, such as modifying project requirements, changing team compositions, orremoving key components from the kits. These disruptions simulate dynamic environments,requiring students to adapt, manage resource limitations
