SMP April 2018 Video Conference Notes

[joseph simpson]

Team:

A few specific items were discussed in the video conference today.  One item was the outline for high school level systems education curriculum.  

An undergraduate curriculum was considered in the presentation located at:

 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258704709_Undergraduate_Curriculum_Considerations_for_Systems_Engineering_SE 

Further, Dr. Brian Mar, from the University of Washington, always viewed system engineering and system science as a general problem solving approach that should be taught in all grade levels starting with elementary school on up.

There may be some further material by Brian that addresses elementary and high school curriculum. 

References relating to SC_TR_00020 and related discussions are:

"The Sciences of the Artificial," by Herbert A. Simon.

"Cluster Analysis," by Robert C. Tryon and Daniel E. Bailey.

"Clustering Algorithms," by J. A. Hartigan

The clustering material will be used in the next System Concepts technical report for May 2018.

Take care, be good to yourself and have fun,

Joe
