In the academic year 2020, the Naval Postgraduate School Systems Engineering Department began requiring students in the Systems Engineering Management for Acquisition program to take a course focused on engineering research. The evaluation criteria include the level that the students have demonstrated mastery of the discipline, rigorous application of research and analysis methods, critical thinking, and publication worthiness of the document. A case analysis of students in the Systems Engineering Management for Acquisition (522) program at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) provides evidence of how a course in engineering research can improve students' capstone research efforts. [...]the success of engineering research is based on the meticulous nature of the scientific process embedded in general research.
