-guided study on how systems engineers develop their expertise. Additionally,many systems engineers have an integrative role, “requiring a deeper understanding of a widerange of areas than provided by a focused education” [Ross et al., 2014]. Anecdotally, manyuniversity faculty agree that successful systems engineers can only be made through experience,as evidenced in part by the relatively few programs in systems engineering, especially at theundergraduate level1. As Adcock et al. [2015] note: “current undergraduate engineering education1 A brief note on terminology is appropriate here. While there are many graduate engineering programs that addressthe problems posed by complex engineering systems, these programs tend to focus on the science of

nature, engineering and teaching both require problem solving, and integrating the topicsand practice of engineering research with the extant curriculum in a STEM classroom also requirescreativity and innovation. One explanation for the benefit of cognitively-diverse teams oncomplex, creative tasks is the cognitive diversity hypothesis [13,18,19]. The cognitive diversityhypothesis posits that dissimilarity in team makeup (with regard to task-related attributes)discourages groupthink and encourages positive member disagreement, debate, and discussion, aswell as introducing differing attitudes, perspectives, and knowledge structures [18-23]. Similarly,the information processing perspective provides an additional framework to explain
