from an understanding that engineers need systems thinking skills to address complexengineering problems, our research is aligned with best practices in curriculum and trainingmaterial development. Once a desired result is identified, in this case the goal is to developengineers who are able to use comprehensive systems thinking knowledge and skills to addresscomplex problems, the next step is to determine how the achievement of that goal will beassessed [8]. Such assessment(s) then guide the development of learning activities andexperiences, e.g., methods for teaching systems thinking [8]. Our analysis sought to understandthe ways in which existing systems thinking assessments relevant in an engineering contextattend to various dimensions

. That is in line with viewing our curricular asa system in which all of the "modules" have a role(s) and each course in the module furthers thegoal of the module. The arrow in Figure 2 points to the Systems Thinking and SystemsEngineering Core courses for what is required in the Systems Engineering Pathway.One goal was the breadth of engineering disciplinary understanding for the Systems Engineeringstudents. In Figure 2, you can see a graphic showing the engineering core just above the Sys EngCore. The course work in other disciplines of engineering is large, and most of the ABET criteriafor engineering courses lie in these breath areas
