These methodologies are traditionally applied to the design of engineering systems, and make use of structured tools such as "House of Quality". The design and improvements of complex organizational systems, such as curricula, can benefit from the

State change in this study means a change in the cross-sectional shape of the wing itself, not chord extension or span extension. Integrating actuators and mechanisms into an effective, light weight structural topology that generates

As customers of the aerospace and defense industries began asking for broad capabilities rather than for single systems to meet specific requirements, the notion of a system comprised of multiple, independently operating systems has become more important as the way to meet the
