Our goal is to disseminate the systems engineering process to as broad an audience as possible. This audience includes freshmen engineers, students from non‐engineering majors, as well as working managers and staff from a host of different occupations. Reviewing the impediments to the dissemination effort and the success of the Six Sigma movement, we articulate the requirements that a curriculum for non‐engineers should satisfy and we propose a particular blended curriculum that satisfies these requirements and highlight its features. We point to three implementations of the curriculum. Experience with this form of the curriculum is still in its infancy.
