Ibrahim is a civil engineer who is passionate about the sustainability of global cities. She is a triple graduate of the University of Toronto, and holds a BASc (2000), MASc (2003), and PhD (2015) in Civil Engineering, and a Certificate of Preventive Engineering and Social Development. Nadine has leveraged her industry experience to expand her inquiry into cities through urban and environmental projects in Canada and abroad. In 2010, she received the Early Career Award, awarded by the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at U of T to one alumnus, in celebration of 10 years of achievements. From undergrad research in structural engineering, into sustainable infrastructure in grad school, her vision is to connect
and concepts help to integrate thespecialty engineering designs together to better design and manage complex systems. Thesesame systems engineering tools can be used to teach systems engineering to engineers. Agraduate-level engineering management curriculum includes a Management of EngineeringSystems course, whose key learning objective is for the students to be able to synthesize andapply the systems engineering methods and tools to a real-world system design project. Thispaper will describe how the instructor applied systems engineering tools to enhance learning ofsystems engineering tools and concepts in an engineering management course. The studentsapplied the systems engineering tools in the course to design a system in teams of 4 to 5

It has been shown that ifstudents have a strong, positive conviction about their knowledge in engineering, then they aremore likely to succeed academically in the specific subject, as

design courses [3]. The Milwaukee Schoolof Engineering BME program has traditionally followed the latter approach. The approach wasefficient, requiring no additional course credits, and it was effective in targeting mature studentswho had some appreciation for the importance of the topics. However, data collected fromstudents through surveys conducted in the design courses and at the time of graduation revealedseveral disadvantages of the approach, including: 1. Coverage of the topics was not always timely in its application to design projects, because projects progress at different paces. 2. Students struggled to remain attentive to lectures that focused on the background and theoretical application of these topics. 3

themes in engineering have focused on sustainability, entrepreneurship, designthinking, internationalization and social justice (Murphy et al., 2009; Tranquillo 2013;Tranquillo 2017; UNESCO 2010). As improved health care intersects all of these trends,biomedical engineers are well suited to take on leadership roles. In parallel, pedagogicaltrends have moved toward design challenges, wicked problems, project-based learningand engagement with live case studies (Blumenfeld et al. 1991; Prince 2004; Omenn2006; Bell, 2010; Beaurey 2010; Mote et al, 2016).

, academic engineering curricula tends to focus on developing thetechnical skills of the students, overlooking the soft skills or 21st century skills that are just asimportant. The 21st century skills include critical thinking, communication, teamworkcollaboration, metacognitive awareness, and creativity. Developing such skills will enable futureengineers to effectively engage in interdisciplinary endeavors and adapt to changes in nationalpolicies and emergent technologies. This paper presents a project that integrates 21st century skilldevelopment (i.e., metacognitive awareness, constructive thinking, and communication) into amanufacturing systems course. In this course, students learn about manufacturing systemsthrough a series of teamwork-based
