Beginning in August 2018 I became the Texas A and M Professor of Practice for the Texas A and M Engineering Academy at Blinn College in Brenham. Texas A and M Engineering Academies are an innovative approach to providing the planet with more Aggie Engineers. I am focused on enhancing the high school through first-year college experience and am an engaged member of the Texas A and M IEEI (Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation).

Such an approach inproduction emphasizes customizability and personalization in product design. Because of

This methodology requires data collection and inductive data analysis goingfrom particulars to general themes. Creswell7 suggests that in qualitative research, differentdata collection procedures can be used. This research utilized two of those procedures: (i)review of public documents such as official reports, case briefs, and newspaper articles and(ii) semi-structured interviews. Once the data was collected through these procedures asdiscussed below, the researchers made interpretations of the meaning of such data as requiredby the qualitative research

A grade of W does not count as an attempt at taking the course nor does it factor into thecalculation of GPA. About 11% of the students had Ws in Figure 1. Although a grade of W has fewerconsequences than a grade of F, some students remain in the course even though they are flunkinginstead of withdrawing from the class. Often, students choose this path in order to maintain full timestatus for financial aid or immigration status purposes. In the latter half of the course, a number ofthese students stop coming to class and do not even take the exams. One should be careful in drawing too many conclusions from Figure 1

may be a labor shortage in the near future as these engineersbegin to retire [Wright, 2014]. Retiring systems engineers, specifically, are a major concern in thedefense industry [SERC, 2013; Charette, 2008] as well as at NASA [Bagg et al., 2003]. Oneobvious solution is to train more undergraduates in systems engineering skills. However, there isa pervasive belief that successful systems engineers can only be made through experience [e.g.Armstrong & Wade, 2015; Squires et al., 2011; Davidz et al., 2005]. This belief may partially bedue to the previous generation of systems engineers not receiving much systems engineering-specific training in their university engineering education, as noted by Armstrong & Wade [2015]in their interview
