This document is a summary of the work that was completed in the first year of the SERC Research Topic DO1/TTO2/0016 Developing Systems Engineering Experience Accelerator (SEEA) Prototype and Roadmap supported by the Defense Acquisition University. The purpose of the research project is to test the feasibility of a simulated approach for accelerating systems engineering competency development in the learner.
Traditional Systems Engineering (SE) education is not adequate to meet the emerging challenges posed by ever increasing Systems and Societal demands, the workforce called upon to meet them and the timeframe in which these challenges need to be addressed. The goal of Experience Accelerator Program is to transform the education of SE by creating a new paradigm capable of halving the time to mature a senior SE while providing the ...
This paper summarizes the results of a DoD Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) project to synthesize analyses of DoD SE effectiveness risk sources into a lean framework and toolset for early identification of SE-related program risks. It includes concepts of operation which enable project sponsors and performers to agree on the nature and use of more effective evidence-based reviews. These enable early detection of missing SE capabilities or personnel competencies ...
