industry continues to view an increasingly larger portion of the science andengineering labor pool more like a commodity then a profession. Consequently, less developedcountries with lower wage rates and an abundance of young, intellectual capital are competingfor work that until recently was performed by higher paid U.S. engineers, many of whom werethen in short supply. This has created a new dilemma for engineering educators: How to bestensure that our graduates will continue to bring value to a marketplace in which their salarydemands are three to six times greater than their international competitors?

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

The more math andscience students learn in high school, the easier it is to tackle advanced subjects later. Success inSTEM requires both technical and nontechnical skills and attributes.
