SEEA: Accelerated Learning and Learning Assessment for Systems Engineering Education

The Experience Accelerator is a new approach to developing the systems engineering and technical leadership workforce, aimed at accelerating experience assimilation through immersive, simulated learning situations where learners solve realistic problems. A prototype technology infrastructure and experience content has been developed, piloted, and evaluated. This paper discusses the use of the technology in the systems engineering education domain. An evaluation of the learning potential is presented utilizing the data collected from a pilot application of the prototype in an undergraduate course on project management. Finally, a summary is provided with a description of future work.
