their first day of class. Guided by an upperclassmen lab manager, students worked together in teams of five on a semester-long HealthInequity Design Challenge. Freshmen had a combination of individual and team assignments togain knowledge in both health inequity and the design process. Throughout the semester,students heard lectures from guest speakers and clinicians on a variety of topics relating to healthinequity and/or the design process including: Health Inequity in the Emergency Room, theDesign Process, Empathy in Design, Ethics in Engineering Design, Ensuring Diversity inClinical Trials, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship. The course also included discussions oncase studies in ethics with faculty mentors and a design project utilizing

. This series of key engineering activities constitutes the major elementsof system architecture, which is an essential predecessor to any successful engineering effort,especially as the complexity of systems/systems of systems and socio-technical systems continueto grow.Unfortunately, these architecture-centric activities and system thinking techniques are nottypically part of an engineering curriculum. Undergraduate academics are so filled with corecourses and humanities that domain learning is primarily limited to the upper class years, leavinglittle room for system architecture. Noticing the gap in system architecture education, severaluniversities have recently started offering architecture related graduate degrees/certificates.However
