Objective evidence shows whether contemporary engineering students are engaged by transdisciplinary education.

Homeland Security began at the national level in the United States after the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. The concept can be extended to the very basic level of protecting literal homesteads. This paper explores the application of Systems of System concepts developed by the United States’ Department of Defense (DoD) to the problem of homestead defense at the homestead level. It outlines the problem, the applications of the DoD concept, the selected solution, and the results and recommendations.
