design, encourage a mindset in which students seek technicalsolutions often rooted in a specific engineering discipline with little regard for the context in which theirproduct, system, or service may be deployed, the societal or business need(s) it may fulfill or even itsrelations to all the other engineering, business or ‘environmental’ domains that can contribute to success.In order to better prepare engineers with a systems perspective and the competencies to be effective insystem design, there is a need to promote the development of systems thinking in engineeringundergraduates. Coupled to these efforts we also see the merits of seeding this approach even earlier inK-12 communities as part of a movement to incorporate pre-engineering into

complexities of LP modeling successfully. In conclusion, integrating mathematicalconcepts with applied examples can serve as a crucial bridge, linking theoretical understanding topractical application. This approach fosters a deeper comprehension of the subject matter,benefiting students across engineering disciplines. Through delving into the intricacies ofengineering education, it becomes evident that a holistic approach, encompassing factors such aseffective learning strategies, cognitive skills development, and practical application, is essentialfor nurturing well-rounded and successful engineering students.References[1] E.

priori categories.MethodologyVerbal Protocol Analysis (VPA) was used to analyze the cognitive strategies of students as theywere solving a design task. During VPA data collection, subjects are asked to think aloud whileperforming a task [15]. From participants’ verbal reports, we can gain insights into how subjectsgenerate and transform information about the problem, as well as how they go about developinga solution.Verbal Protocol Analysis has been used extensively since the 1970’s to study the cognitiveprocesses of engineering students [3, 5, 23, 27] as well as experienced designers [7, 10, 14]. AlthoughVPA is considered the most appropriate method to study the cognitive abilities and processes ofdesigners it is not an assessment tool

Furthermore, the learning community modelimproves the persistence of the low-income and the first generation students12.A learning community is an environment that encourages student-student, and faculty-studentinteraction.
