We wanted to explore if the tool,developed for engineering or technology, can be used for students in a different context like businessdisciplines. After this pilot study, we believe the tool can be employed in courses in various disciplines,focusing on content that addresses social, technical

understand the interconnections among systemelements of technical, social, socio-technical, or multi-level nature. They show closed-loopthinking and provide several possible explanations when analyzing system failures [18, p. 275],[19], [20].3. Understand system synergy (emergent properties). Engineers derive the synergy of asystem from integrating the subsystems under their responsibility and identifying thesynergy and emergent properties of combined systems [18, p. 276].4. Understand the system from multiple perspectives. Engineers avoid adopting a one-dimensional view and describe a system from all relevant layers (technological, economic,social, mechanical, etc.) [18, p. 276], [20].5. Understand systems without getting stuck on details
