The design process for Solar Decathlonhomes includes not only standards, but also brings economic, environmental, manufacturing,ethics, safety, health, social, and marketing issues along with it. It is hard to imagine a betterway to expose students to the broad range of issues they’ll face during their careers. Design

Another employer indicatedthat with the strict CWD vetting process and continuous monitoring of student performanceduring the training sessions, it was “like having a 12 week vetting process” before the CWDgraduates entered the workforce.

analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning
