Systems Engineering Education through Students' CanSat Project Interacting with Young Professional Engineers

抄録

The authors have established a systems engineering (SE) and project management (PM) educational program for university students developing a 1kg-class simulated-satellite, called CanSat. The educational program helps students achieve mission success through the practical application of SE/PM methodologies to their development processes. In the educational program, the students are advised by young professionals currently working as aerospace engineers. In this study, one team was taken as a case study to evaluate the SE/PM educational program; the results showed that cooperative activities between students and young professionals were critical to the effectiveness of the SE/PM education.
