Encourages use of case studies to introduce "real-life" engineering assignments, suggesting that they should be given in a natural order as a series. Describes three such assignments being used at the University of the West Indies. Description, analysis, and design of an existing engineering system is included. (JM)

This study applies the methodology of systems dynamics to analyze engineering and engineering technology education systems. A preliminary system analysis is presented relating primary variables and their interaction in the overall system through a series of feedback loops. This is followed by a system structure development and mathematical…
