Background2.1 Computing’s Diversity ScorecardComputing is a high growth field with well-paying career opportunities, but the percentage ofwomen and minorities in careers in computing is well below their percentages in both theworkforce and in society. With a 19% projected job growth in computing between 2016 and2026, employment prospects and compensation levels in computing are both excellent; the paygap between men and women is also low compared to other engineering disciplines.2 Yet overthe past decade, women have held only 25% of computer and mathematical (C&M) jobs whilecomprising 56%-58% of the total workforce [11]; in 2016, Blacks made up only 7.9% percent ofC&M workers while comprising 11.9% of all workers

significant differences between the engineeringdisciplines was individualism. We consider this result to be important and that has severalimplications for how engineering students will operate across disciplines. Research suggest thatengineering students tend overall to be more individualistic [6], [39], [42]. Part of thischaracteristic comes from the fact that early in their academic programs, engineering studentcourses tend to focus on more individualistic learning (e.g. math, chemistry, dynamics) wherestudents are evaluated by individual tests. Team projects are introduced later in their disciplinesand there are multiple disciplines that have considerably less exposure to teamwork (e.g.,mechanical vs. industrial) [43], [44].

Accordingly, what qualitiesdefine successful systems engineers as well as how to instill these qualities in engineeringstudents has been a major area of research amongst engineering educators. In a study conductedamongst engineering professionals, most of whom were systems engineers, researchers foundthat those exposed to formal education in systems thinking as well as had experience withacademic projects in controlled environments displayed a propensity for systems thinking andaptitude in systems design [8]. Research efforts to investigate systems thinking competenciesamongst undergraduate engineering students have shown that students generally do not exhibit astrong capacity for systems thinking

, influence of, and use of published research forconducting routine tasks.Research-to-practice Overall, the current literature on research-to-practice (RTP) is centered on how researchis used in practical settings, the transferring of knowledge from scientists to practitioners, andpinpointing the source of the innovation (Flaspohler, Duffy, Wandersman, Stillman, & Maras,2008; Klein & Sorra, 1996). The emphasis on RTP has been primarily attributed topolicymakers, who fund research and set expectations for scholars leading research projects toevaluate and specify how their projects are relevant and make an impact in practice (Daley &Shinton, 2014). Accordingly, various fields and disciplines (e.g., farming, construction,linguistics
