A long-standing benefit of such programs is to provide studentswith the time necessary to make an educated decision about their choice of major. Often this isthe first experience in the role of engineers in society and consequently what students use todetermine whether to continue pursuing an

universities across thecountry where systems engineering program is offered at the undergraduate level. At thecampuses where it is offered, systems engineering is a rather new discipline. The core systemsengineering classes may not require the mathematical rigor expected in some of the otherengineering disciplines. At the undergraduate level, students cannot often appreciate the value ofsystems engineering. One downside of this is the fact that it may make the systems classes lessattractive to undergraduate students. This gives the instructors a great reason to apply some ofthe active learning techniques. In this paper, the author investigates some of the techniques andmethodologies used in other engineering and especially non-engineering disciplines
