well as cost and efficiency benefits for the various types ofsystems that are represented.Feedback and ConclusionsThe response to the Systems Engineering Educators Workshop was very positive. At the end ofthe workshop, a handwritten survey was given, and a follow up survey was distributed overemail six months later. In the exit survey, 100% of the ten teachers said that they felt theworkshop would help their teaching in the future, in courses such as physics, physical science,genetics, social studies in collaboration with the science teachers, math, geometry, probabilityand statistics. Of the ten teachers, 8 definitely planned to use workshop activities in theclassroom, one participant was not sure, and one did not. The most popular activities

found to stress teamwork as an important learning outcome, alongwith disciplinary grounding, integration, communication, and critical awareness3 (Borrego &Newswander 2010). Engineering education research reiterates the need for engineering studentsto develop teamwork skills as part of the undergraduate curriculum6-8.Research on interdisciplinary teams has focused mostly on the barriers and bridges tointerdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork, rather than specific assessment methods9-13. Withundergraduate engineering students specifically, research has shown that these students aresubject to, and acknowledge, the challenges of “disciplinary egocentrism,” which is defined asthe “inability to think outside of one’s disciplinary perspective

courses in engineering programs have long been offered with a primary focuson basic knowledge or skills. Such courses are characterized by lectures (directteaching) and homework assignments taken from textbooks.
