broader systems thinking approach to sustainable manuremanagement, projects were devised for both undergraduate and graduate students using twosystem visualization tools – the cognitive map and an analysis canvas.Cognitive maps are generally considered freeform visualizations of mental models that cancontain various structures including diagrams, graphs, and flowchart elements and identifyrelationships among those elements. Cognitive maps were introduced to the undergraduates witha class discussion about their college careers. Students volunteered several engineering coursesthey took. The instructor then asked them to identify which of these courses providedinformation or skills that were needed or useful in other courses and these relationships

skillsets to continue workingcollaboratively in a virtual environment, and the class was more effective at including externalstakeholders in the process.However, several challenges also became apparent. The loose structure of the course, hastyadjustment of the project scope to accommodate remote work, and loss of access to informationand resources had a significant impact on the students’ experiences. Final project outcomes werelimited by circumstances, since the second semester is focused on fabrication and test. For somestudents, the experience and expectations for the more hands-on part of the project wereparticularly impacted. Added challenges associated with grieving the loss of a final semester,graduation ceremonies, and uncertain career
