“…Systems approach and descriptive viewpoint was found the most appropriate to answer the questions of this study. According to [11], systems approach considers the attributes of an entire system to achieve the objective of a system, which is to solve a problem. The research questions informed the direction of this research both theoretically and methodologically.…”

“…The systemic approach, integrating systems thinking and SE, based on Integrative Systems Science, is vital to properly addressing complex systems. It is a collaborative approach in the context of an extended enterprise where are mastered the management of engineering activities such as the analysis of the market, the understanding of the missions and operational requirements, the definition of a coherent architecture, as well as the management of quality, traceability, changes and configuration, production, acquisitions, etc …”

A connected embedded system is a complex system that integrates hardware and software elements and has real-time interactions with its environment. Developing such a system requires having a systemic approach, based on systems thinking and systems engineering (SE). Systems thinking demonstrates the need of adopting an interdisciplinary approach (not only technology focused but also considering societal or regulatory commitments), that is essential to explore the whole embedded systems field. SE enables learners acquiring a method which provides the means to set up a consistent design and management plan that fully integrates a product development.This paper describes how a MOOC has been designed and produced to promote the use of a systemic approach when developing connected embedded systems. The MOOC uses different case studies in order to progressively develop system thinker's skills for identifying and solving a variety of problems raised during the design of a connected embedded system. Launched in 2016, it attracted more than 10.800 learners in less than 2 years. What led to such a success is certainly because the team that created the MOOC experienced a collaborative and integrative approach, namely a systemic approach, that also revealed its benefits in this educative project.

In the water resources sector, the need to adopt a new way of thinking based on a systemic approach and analysis is justified by several situations: very complex constraints that accompany the development of the sector, functional interactions between various planned developments and the multitude of actors and stakeholders involved. System engineering is a general methodological approach that encompasses all the appropriate activities to design, evolve and verify a system providing an economical and efficient solution to the needs of customers while satisfying the whole of stakeholders. Based on these concepts of size, the purpose of this paper is to apply the principles of systems engineering for the exploration and evaluation of Boughrara water resources system performance. This system located in the north-west of Algeria involves subsystems in constant interaction, namely mobilization, treatment, purification and transfer of water. Its performance takes into account a number of parameters: compliance with customer satisfaction objectives, system constraints, stakeholder role and responsibility for achieving system-wide objectives, and not relationship with sectors of activity.
