Simple exposure to adiverse environment in the classroom does not fully prepare students to succeed in a similar real-world environment.In order to best prepare students for post-graduation roles, we must incorporate DEI into ourcurriculum. Education in these issues promotes their awareness of the topic and allows them toexplore their own implicit bias in a safe environment. Practicing our teaching with similarthought, we must assess the student outcomes in a manner which is reflective of our ownunderstanding of these issues and aims to minimize performance gaps due to disparities betweenstudents.Systems Engineering is an ideal platform to promote student awareness of global inequities inthe world as well as explore

One waslocated on the west coast and the other in the Midwest. The premise was to collaborate on adesign competition and form teams of structural and architectural design majors. Thepartnership for the lead instructors was formed years earlier as each worked together on abuilding project when one practiced architecture and the other structures. As both individualsmoved into academia there was an impetus to create a class that emulated the real world designprocess. To help transition this relationship into academia, the two instructors would sit ondesign review juries together

The practices in Table A have been shown to have a particularly large and robust impacton learning in undergraduate STEM courses (see, e.g., Wieman and Gilbert, 2014). The literature onteaching indicates that practices in Table B promote learning also, but with less impact than those in TableA. Hence, evaluators should pay particular attention to the practices in Table A that the instructor choosesto implement in their course.Not all practices described in Tables A and B are appropriate for every course.
