Systems engineering is a part of everyengineer’s curriculum and systems engineering at the university level is grounded in the theoreticalfoundations that spans the hard sciences, engineering, mathematics, and human and socialsciences” [12]. Thus, to fully incorporate the teaching of system architecture to undergraduatesrequires the inclusion of systems thinking competencies, hands-on experience with variousdecision analysis techniques (informal and formal methods) and an introduction to an ArchitectureDevelopment Method/Model Based Systems Architecture synthesis tool [1].

They focus onthe application, and possibly the integration of previously acquired knowledge. Projects may becarried out by individuals or small groups. Project-organized curricula use projects as thestructuring principle of the entire curriculum, with subject oriented courses eliminated or reducedto a minimum and related to a certain project. Students work in small groups with a project teamof teachers who are advisers and consultants.
