thatthere are difficulties in proper delivery of systems analysis and systems dynamics to engineeringstudents; the fact remains that: these tools are extremely useful for someone who plans tobecome a designer. Therefore, ways have to be found to enhance the understanding of systems’thinking, and at the same time, to develop educational experiences that could efficiently improvelearning outcomes.2) Looking at risk management and uncertainty: Engineering design is carried out relying onincomplete data, imperfect models, often with unclear objectives, and other potential problemsand constraints. The effects of such uncertainties on the design of a project may have seriousconsequences unless proper safeguards have been undertaken based on probabilistic

All of the courses relied upon extensive student-student and student-faculty interaction. Students read assigned materials, discussed them inclass with the instructor, and then used information gleaned from the reading and discussions tocomplete assignments that would be useful in performing their duties as faculty members.Some examples of assignments are a syllabus and materials for a course in the student’stechnical field, an interactive presentation of course materials, a detailed teaching philosophy,and a plan for mentoring graduate students.

The extensive planning necessary to flip a classroommeans that a detailed schedule of topics is typically available to the students at the outset of thecourse. That detailed schedule proves invaluable when students plan how to best work on theproject. One drawback of problem-based learning is that students report spending more timeworking on the course [19] which increases the time requirements on an already crowded studentschedule. However, this is offset by the use of the flipped format as students spend approximately20 % less time outside of

Furthermore, this reiterates the need to consider the key theories when researching EEPs,specifically student participation for our case. To identify the key theories, the documentedtheories were assessed for their level of use based on the number of times they were cited in the359 articles. Theories that were cited in at least 10 articles were shortlisted, yielding a total ofseven key theories – 1) Theory of Planned Behavior [32], 2) Theory of Reasoned Action

Some of the groups that we looked atdid very thoughtfully reflect on points such as how this assignment and course altered theirperceptions of engineering practice, and how their team carried out the design process to accountfor CSR. However, most team reflections were superficial and vague, at best, a result we havealso seen in past work incorporating reflection into engineering courses [12]. We plan to providebetter guidance to the students moving forward on what high-quality reflections look like. Wealso will work to weave CSR more completely throughout the semester.

material and format are deployed with efficacy [18-19]. Inthis particular study the instructor was female, and as noted by other researchers [20], maycontribute to an overall lower impression of knowledge. However, this defense is furthercomplicated because the graduate student leaders in this study were also female in gender. It ispossible that graduate students, despite being female, were able to develop trust/confidence inthe students through spending more time with them. Normally, the format of the LEAP modelallows for about five hours of planned contact between the leader and their students, but it ispossible that the female leaders made additional time investments. This possibility will alter theinformation that we collect during subsequent
