sector, “there is consensus on primarymechanisms that enable or obstruct systems thinking development in engineers” [12].Experiential learning, such as work and life experiences, is one of the three mechanisms thatenable systems thinking development, and was the top ranked mechanism with 40% or more ofthe interviewees including work or life experiences [12]. The second mechanism was individualcharacteristics and traits, listed as: “thinking broadly, curiosity, questioning, open-minded,communication, tolerance for uncertainty, strong interpersonal skills, and thinking outside thebox”; the third mechanism is a “supportive environment” [12].Critical Systems Thinking CourseCritical Systems Thinking (CST) is a course in the MS Aviation and Aerospace
