systems education integration project” started in the Fall 2013 semester with theoffering of the graduate “Software Requirements Engineering” and “System RequirementsAnalysis and Modeling” courses in one combined section. The first course is required for themaster’s program in Software Engineering, while the second one is an elective course for thestudents enrolled in any other graduate engineering programs. The encouraging coursediscussions and student feedback received during Fall 2013 halfway into the semesterstrengthened the faculty belief in the software and systems integration effort and prompted theimplementation of the other proposed combined sections. Therefore, the Spring 2014 semesterwas scheduled to feature two new combined sections

American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 System Thinking for EverybodyAbstractSystem theory was originated in the field of engineering, and now it is widely used in manydifferent fields, such as in biology and economics. However, in most universities the courses onsystem theory are still limited to the college of engineering. In order to make it available to allstudents, we propose to open a university wide course as part of the interdisciplinary componentsof our general education program. As the students taking this course come from different majors,the topics we discuss are also from different fields, such as physical system, engineering system,chemical system, biological system, ecological system, economic

They believe that the most successful approach for high schools is one that infusesthe high expectations and academic rigor of college preparatory academic programs with thereal-world relevance and rigor of career and technical education. Their approach can be carriedout through academies, which take several forms, including multiple career academies and otherthemed programs within a large school, single-themed schools, and early-college high schools.The Institute of Systems Engineering Research (ISER) is a department of Mississippi StateUniversity and is located at the Engineering Research and Development Center’s (ERDC)Information Technology Lab in Vicksburg, MS.

]. Undergraduatewomen are more likely than their male counterparts to drop out of engineering programs becausethey may experience diminished performance, sense of belonging, and retention [11, 12]. Inaddition, there are fewer female role models to follow for engineers who are women, whichcould lead to a sense of alienation [13]. Researchers found that women’s self-efficacy along withconfidence and self-esteem tends to diminish during the pursuit of engineering education [14].While some research points to gender-related factors such as the communication styledifferences as contributing forces in negatively affecting the acceptance of women in engineeringfields [15], many have noted the systemic and structural factors as the root causes for suchdiscrimination

careful considerationof resources availability; and what is more important, the total costs associated with outcomesassessment. Description of assessment methods is plentiful in the literature but on the other hand,the literature is also rather poor on determining the true cost of assessing learning outcomes atinstitutions of higher education. The few available studies on this subject reveal costs that areusually a complete surprise to many faculty and administrators.The cost factor is especially critical for engineering technology programs trying to adaptassessment methods used by larger and wealthier departments. On the other hand thesedepartments can assess their outcomes by methods that are not available to other disciplines dueto the
