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
1) The activity shall last around one hour.
2) 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.
3) The activity shall be achievable by students between the ages of 11 and 16 (keystage 3+4).
4) The activity shall only require equipment that is available at the school, or that can be provided by INCOSE UK.
5) The activity shall be interactive with the students (i.e. more than just a passive lecture).
6) The activity shall differ from activities delivered by other organisations.
7) The activity shall provide some introduction to the systems engineering concepts of: requirements, solutions, and testing.
8) The activity shall include the structural and/or behavioural modelling aspects of MBSE.
9) The activity shall be fun, enjoyable, and memorable.
