Description

The article's stated contribution is "the formation of theoretical and practical frameworks for the integration of an cross-disciplinary model-based systems engineering online assignments into engineering and science curricula". The framework rests on the premise that next generation science standards include systems thinking and systems modeling among 21st century skills, and operationalizes integration through short online assignment sequences using OPM conceptual modeling. It positions model-based systems learning as achievable across engineering and science settings, including for learners without prior relevant background.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Integration requires online assignments that are cross-disciplinary and grounded in a model-based systems engineering approach such as OPM.

Constraints

  • The framework was developed and tested with engineering students and engineering and science teachers (55 participants) in food-related assignments; other curricular contexts are not tested in the supplied text.

Target Learners

  • engineering students
  • engineering and science teachers

Learning Goals

  • systems thinking
  • systems modeling
  • conceptual modeling skills
