Using an Astronaut Jetpack Project to Teach Human-CPS Requirements Engineering

This paper reports experience teaching an undergraduate Requirements Engineering (RE) course organized around a Human-Cyber-Physical System (H-CPS) project called SafeWalk. This project, based on a NASA astronaut's jetpack, gave students practical experience developing RE skills. Using the SafeWalk project helped the students learn the RE discovery, specification, analysis and evolution techniques they need to be practitioners in the growing field of H-CPS.
