The MUSE (Multi-University Systems Education) project developed and implemented a learning model that develops important skills not addressed in the contemporary engineering curricula. Known as systems thinking, this skill enables students to envision the architectures of complex, multi-layered engineering systems. View our project introductory video here.

In this project, undergraduate course content in wireless sensor networks was developed by a coalition of universities as a vehicle for studying these systems, featuring junior-year tutorials and an online systems-centric, senior technical elective.

The MUSE project also developed a variety of hands-on experiments to complement the instructional material. Information on these experiments can be found here.
