private companies. HEIs also havehigh-level goals for focusing on research activities and advancing their reputation, which may ormay not conflict with designing a competency-based curriculum.Competency vs. student learning outcomes. Several consulting companies (Personnel DecisionsResearch Institutes, Inc. (PDRI) in 2005, JBS International, Inc., Aguirre Division in 2012, andCoffey Consulting, LLC and JBS International, Inc. in 2015) contributed to a technical assistanceguide that details best practices for developing competency models [18]. The guide wasdeveloped and supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment &Training Administration under Contract DOLQ121A21895, Order No. DOL-ETA-15-U-00001.The guide states that

, equity and inclusion (DEI). Simple exposure to adiverse environment in the classroom does not fully prepare students to succeed in a similar real-world environment.In order to best prepare students for post-graduation roles, we must incorporate DEI into ourcurriculum. Education in these issues promotes their awareness of the topic and allows them toexplore their own implicit bias in a safe environment. Practicing our teaching with similarthought, we must assess the student outcomes in a manner which is reflective of our ownunderstanding of these issues and aims to minimize performance gaps due to disparities betweenstudents.Systems Engineering is an ideal platform to promote student awareness of global inequities inthe world as well as explore

including Business, Health Sciences, Sustainability, and to a lesserextent, Engineering, all mostly at the graduate level, therefore identifying that there may be a gapin ST education for undergraduate students, particularly in the engineering discipline wherecomplex and multifaceted problems are common. Additional research into the teaching ST to engineering students have led to a series ofpapers on researchers’ observations on its effectiveness in the context of understanding complexproblems [6, 7]. Some key findings in this research were that students saw marked improvementin their understanding and learning of ST processes and tools, a greater appreciation forengineering and the role they play in society, as well as improvements to
