Table 4: Seven Dimensions of Systems Thinking (ST) Skills Instrument [17] Less Systemic (Reductionist) Dimension More Systemic (Holistic) Complexity (C): Expect uncertainty, work Simplicity (S): Avoid uncertainty, work on linear Level of Complexity: Comfort with on multidimensional problems

and designthinking and that their differences are due to differences in application and the nature of their usein a process [1]. The Inclusive Concept Model suggests that systems thinking is merely a specificapplication of design thinking and falls under the category of design thinking [1]. Lastly was theIntegrative Concept Model which suggests that systems and design thinking are part of the sametype of cognition with the perceived difference between them being due to a gap between theirapplication in industry and formal research. Using Greene et al.’s work as a springboard, wecontinued exploration of the systems/design thinking relationship.Our paper is structured to first examine the emergent cognitive abilities and attributes of

with the students the more standard sensitivityanalysis: change in price of goods, change in price of key raw material(s), change in price ofutilities, change in price of labor. These are the ones sometimes discussed in design textbooks.Ask students if that is all there is to a Financial Operational Model? See what the students answerhere. Get them to understand the sheer power of having the engineering design melded to theeconomics. What does that truly mean? Start to get them to see other types of sensitivities that arenot simply linear changes in slope but can have actual minimum or maximum optimal values.Examples include key design specifications to the product, parameter uncertainty in the modelsfor a piece of equipment such as extent of
