, with technical contentembedded in an online learning module and class time used to perform a group designactivity.An effective means of measuring students’ systems thinking / systems engineering skills isneeded to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. There have been several approaches in theliterature, ranging from comprehensive written / practical exams 9 to computerized tests thatmeasure specific systems engineering skills 10 . This paper uses a survey instrument called theSystems Thinking Skills Survey (STSS) 6 which includes both self-efficacy questions andtechnical questions to assess students systems engineering skills.This paper describes results of a flipped-classroom learning experience on systems engineeringgeared toward
