Aim
To generate interest in STEM subjects within schools; particularly engineering, with a specific focus on systems engineering.
Method
For the INCOSE UK MBSE working group to produce a packaged STEM activity that INCOSE STEM ambassadors can deliver in schools.
Requirements
- The activity shall last around one hour.
- The activity shall be deliverable by one INCOSE STEM ambassador, with the assistance of a school teacher, to a group of up to 20 students.
- The activity shall be achievable by either keystage 2 (students aged 7 to 11), or keystages 3 and 4 (students aged 11 to 16), depending on the specific activity designed. (see note below)
- The activity shall only require equipment that is available at the school, or that can be provided by INCOSE UK.
- The activity shall be interactive with the students (i.e. more than just a passive lecture).
- The activity shall differ from activities delivered by other organisations.
- The activity shall provide some introduction to the systems engineering concepts of: requirements, solutions, and testing.
- The activity shall include the structural and/or behavioural modelling aspects of MBSE.
- The activity shall be fun, enjoyable, and memorable.
NOTE: The work may choose to extend or redevelop the activity to include both the older and younger age groups at a later date.
Constraints
A suitable risk assessment for the activity shall be undertaken between the Teacher and STEM ambassador in accordance with relevant school guidelines.
