This paper describes auniversity curriculum in Japan that embodies a new approach to education aboutenterprises systems (and specifically knowledge about the Toyota Production System(lean)). Referred to as Collective System Design, the new learning approach emphasizesthe tone of the system participants and a language for system design to codify

universities and student population, without „drilling in‟ with much depthregarding what mechanisms may be at play from year to year when students decide toleave engineering altogether. One interesting result of such surveys that hasn‟t beenexplored in much depth is the fact that most engineering students take 5 years tograduate, even though the curriculum is based on 4 years to graduation.In contrast, this study seeks to analyze retention rates at a single institution, the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology (GT), from year to year. GT graduates more engineers and morewomen engineers than any other institution in the United States, so the numbers there arelarge enough to provide meaningful data. Also, the College of Engineering at GT iscurrently rated 4th

a crucial tool, reflecting the learner's understandingand competence, and ultimately guiding them towards targeted improvement and development.However, in active learning the content is usually taught for a set amount of time, and a student’saptitude is based on how much they learned in that time. Conversely, mastery learning assumes thatall students, given enough time and intervention, can eventually master the content [4], [5], [6].Learning within mastery frameworks concerns itself with identifying learning trajectories andproviding students with curriculum for gaining knowledge and skills, assessing mastery throughformative assessments, and providing feedback to help students master one set of skills beforemoving on to the next set [7

This issue is further exacerbated by the frequently studied false dichotomy ofsocial-technical dualism in STEM, where many STEM professionals disregard and devaluesocial and political issues in favor of technical knowledge and experiences[12]. ThisSocial-Technical dichotomy leaves LGBTQ+ individuals silenced and marginalized since genderand sexuality issues—along with myriad other social issues—are seen as entirely irrelevant tothe STEM environment and curriculum [7], [13]. Faced with this climate, students must resolve their LGBTQ+ identity with a STEMprofessional identity that is implicitly and explicitly tied to heteronormativity.
