Having impaired empathizing abilities generally willresult in difficulties in social skills. On the other hand, systemizing refers to the abilities topredict and control the behavior of systems and to analyze and/or build any kind of rule-basedsystems by identifying the input-function-output rules [4].

Lapachelle and Cunningham [5] point to the flexibility of theengineering design process as a possible nonlinear, open-ended learning cycle that may berevisited to rethink, discuss, and formulate new solutions, a quality shared by both the studiohabits of mind and Positive Technological Development. While these skills are learned through apractice and immersion in processes which are often subject-centered these behaviors andpractices hold greater potential for the individual learner than the subject learning alone.
