EXPERIENCES TEACHING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TO STUDENTS BUILDING A CUBESAT

       Building on an earlier paper about getting students hooked on SE while building a competitive car, Cecilia will elaborate on her experiences introducing systems engineering concepts and practices to students while they are actively participating in a project funded by the Norwegian Research Council and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It is one thing to be training dedicated professionals, and quite another to teach students who are also focusing their attention on a myriad of other priorities. My experiences offer valuable insights to academics and professionals alike.
