synchronous onlineinteraction would be higher.Conclusions This study seeks to develop an understanding of the quantity, type, and drivers ofsynchronous online student interaction in a Systems Engineering context. The results of thiswork demonstrate that the synchronous online mode of learning is a popular means of engagingwith distance learning technology. When prompted through some explicit instructor actions anda culture of inclusivity (regarding prompting, wait time, scheduled presentations), thesynchronous online students interact often and with high-quality. This paper demonstrates how adetailed and quantitative assessment may be conducted to inform the course structure andinstructor training of a Systems Engineering education program

Formalize the development, integration, and use of models to inform enterprise and program decision making 2. Provide an enduring, authoritative source of truth 3. Incorporate technological innovation to improve the engineering practice 4. Establish a supporting infrastructure and environment to perform activities, collaborate, and communicate across stakeholders 5. Transform the culture and workforce to adopt and

the current automotivestate-of-the-art, the hybrid electric vehicle, thus being responsive to industry needs 13 . This type ofcourse is not unique to our university, as many other universities are developing similar hybridelectric vehicle focused labs 14 , project focused courses 15,16 , and general education 17,18,19,20 . Systems engineering (SE) is an effective tool to address multidisciplinary engineeringproblems. It was first developed in the 1930s and allows for successful design andimplementation of machines that would otherwise be too broad, too risky, and toocomplicated 21,22 . Additionally, SE has also been identified as a key component of sustaining U.S.competitiveness in the sectors of manufacturing, technology, services, and

understand the interconnections among systemelements of technical, social, socio-technical, or multi-level nature. They show closed-loopthinking and provide several possible explanations when analyzing system failures [18, p. 275],[19], [20].3. Understand system synergy (emergent properties). Engineers derive the synergy of asystem from integrating the subsystems under their responsibility and identifying thesynergy and emergent properties of combined systems [18, p. 276].4. Understand the system from multiple perspectives. Engineers avoid adopting a one-dimensional view and describe a system from all relevant layers (technological, economic,social, mechanical, etc.) [18, p. 276], [20].5. Understand systems without getting stuck on details
