would suggest swapping the Guatemala and the Caribbean models. The Caribbean model was solvable and particularly interesting. The Guatemala model was more abstract and would be better suited for the term project. 8 Maybe going over one example model to solve a real life problem during the initial weeks of class would help us to understand better how to approach the rest of the models. 9 Modeling is relevant and an interesting way to think about students future careers and can be applied to just about any situation if not all. The course should be available to younger students so they can use it to help to

of non-traditional assessments and projects as well as tools andmethodologies for translating that into the curriculum.IntroductionAs educators we are compelled to incorporate practices which foster a diverse and inclusiveenvironment and prepare students for success in a global society. In engineering, too often thisgoal is comprised mainly of efforts that aim to ensure more equitable distribution of race andgender in the student body and the faculty. While this is worthwhile in itself, we must be awareof the implications. Educating a diverse population to be successful in their career signals theneed to utilize teaching practices and that allow all students to be successful and also to educatestudents about issues pertaining to diversity

with industry-standard tools in their future careers. Providing students with hands-on experience using these tools helps prepare them for the practical challenges they'll face in the workplace.ConclusionThe course described in this paper accomplished its goal of teaching systems thinking conceptsand skills to engineering students using a control system model and relevant applications.Feeback from students shows that the course was well-received and they enjoyed their learningexperience. While there was not a required textbook, the supplemental materials provided by theinstructor, including handouts, videos, and PPT presentation were considered as sufficient forlearning the course material. Key highlights of the course include: 1
