The purpose ofthe sequence is to introduce cadets to the engineering design process. The sequence is toinclude a “well-integrated progression from predominantly engineering science topredominantly engineering design, and a culminating design project.”8For Systems Engineering, the first course in the engineering sequence is SE300,Introduction to Systems Engineering, and teaches cadets the Systems Engineering

Engineering professionals mentor the SWE engineering students and provide a panel discussion for the older scouts. Thes older Girl Scouts then join the SWE section in running a Badge-in-a-Day Engineering clinic for Junior Girl Scouts (grades 3 through 6). In this way, the elementary school girls are introduced to the fun aspects of science and technology, having a good time while sampling hands-on projects.

These concerns are addressed in Criterion 3and 4 in the most recent Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology guidelines.2From my personal experience as an engineering educator, Criterion 3 and 4 are the mostdifficult to accomplish and document. Also from my experience, while every school mustpay attention in principle to these criteria, an adequate addressing of some of the issuesraised by the two criteria seems as an afterthought for many faculty members.

Engineering is different from science in that engineers use science,technology, and human experience to solve problems.At the heart of engineering is the concept of problem solving. One way to solve a problem is tocreate something that is new. This is called engineering design. These designs could be changesto something that already exists. An example of this is a new car model. While some things ineach new car model are different, many things within it are the same as previous designs.Sometimes the engineer designs something that has never been built
