, less than 5% of the undergraduate degrees awarded in the US are in engineering,compared to 13% in European countries and nearly 25% in Asia [1]. It is becoming increasingly clearthat universities in the United States must adapt their teaching and retention practices to adequatelyprepare students to fill critical roles in a technology focused, multi-disciplinary workplace [2]. Thedesire for a more interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate engineering education is evident as thetransition to more geographically disparate teams is driving the need for engineering professionals todemonstrate that they possess not only the requisite technical acumen, but skills like communication,teamwork and conflict resolution that are not typically taught in

These biases, whether conscious or unconscious, haveresulted in technologies that have been particularly harmful for marginalized populations. Oneway to mitigate these biases is to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principlesinto engineering education, specifically within the domain of systems engineering and relatedfields that focus on designing systems for humans.

In a nutshell, those characteristics may be summarized as: (1) They want relevanceto their major, and future engineering career; (2) They want rationale (for the textbook selected,and for specific course policies and assignments); (3) They revel in technology (to collect data,compute, communicate, and multi-task); (4) They want a relaxed, hands-on environment; (5)They prefer instructors who rotate among several classroom delivery methods.Considering the “Five R‟s” learning
