Evolving from Single Disciplines to Renaissance Teams
Daniel P. Siewiorek · 2018
Over 25 years, a capstone engineering course has evolved and refined into a User-Centered Interdisciplinary Concurrent System Design Methodology (UICSM) that integrates students from multiple disciplines to design and implement a unified system to meet the constraints of a real customer. This chapter sketches the origins of the methodology, outlines UICSM, illustrates the interactions between disciplines, demonstrates monitoring of the design process, and summarizes lessons learned. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
