Add substance to the system, add heat to the system, or do work on the system.

Conversely, you could also remove substance from the system, cool the system, or let the system do work on the surroundings.

Re: Internal Energy/Open System
To clarify, adding or removing the amount of substance in a system correlates to changing the energy of an open system. Heating/cooling the system or doing work on the system are examples provided in class for a closed system.
