, 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

skill baseline level among university engineering students. Results from thisstudy will also inform the systems thinking community and enrich the literature on human-centered designthat discusses how engineering students understand and navigate design problems in complex systems in adesign course.1. INTRODUCTIONAlthough certain basics of engineering will not change, engineers have to adapt to the explosion ofknowledge, the global economy, and the complex systems they work with when entering the workplace.Engineering education needs to, therefore, evolve to reflect these ongoing changes [2]. A report titled“Educating the Engineer for 2020 and beyond” published by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)[3] has offered several overarching trends

proposed changes after they're implemented. The changes are reflected in a gamedashboard that displays information about the different variables that affect the systems' behaviorand balance.The player has a monthly budget, an initial inventory of species, and an estimated number ofvisitors as an entry point. All this information is available in their dashboard. They can use theirbudget to commission surveys of species or other park features and/or hire rangers for specifictasks such as removing an invasive plant species or creating park programs. The player willreceive a bonus when certain goals are met. New goals and problems may be introduced as eachpark level proceeds, and each level is won when all goals have been completed and the system isin
