Thus, brain regions of interests in this paper to study cognition of systems thinkinginclude pre-frontal cortex, which is associated with reasoning and working memory [30] andposterior parietal cortex, which is associated with planning and sequence processing [31].Research QuestionsUsing the three different assessment tools (concept map scoring, self-evaluation, andcognition measured by fNIRS) to measure systems thinking, this study investigates bothbehavior and cognition of

For example, the US Department of Defense (DoD) defines missionengineering as “the deliberate planning, analyzing, organizing, and integrating of current andemerging operational and system capabilities to achieve desired war fighting mission effects”[1].

Competency-Based Education“Competency-based education (CBE) is an outcome-based, student-centered form ofinstruction whereby students progress to more advanced work upon mastering the necessaryprerequisite content and skills [11].” Although CBE is not new, it has increasingly beenreceiving much attention as a method for reaching a more diverse and inclusive studentpopulation. Scholtz and colleagues [12] shared results from an intervention conducted in aninformation systems degree program which incorporated competencies based on enterpriseresource planning (ERP) systems. They found that students perceived satisfaction with thehands-on approach and there was an increase in student self-efficacy related to ERP systemsand concepts. Mojab et al [13

For each scenario, teams of students develop and solvea model, perform sensitivity analysis and write a one-page executive summary of theirrecommendations along with supporting analysis.In the first case, students develop a model to select a sustainable energy action plan for a collegecampus that considers tradeoffs between different strategies for reducing CO2 emissions (e.g.LED lighting or Photovoltaic panels). Students must allocate a limited budget while consideringtradeoffs between 5-year and 20-year energy costs and savings, and the CO2 reduction

Likewise, Ambrose has called forengineering curricula with “opportunities for reflection to connect thinking and doing,” and the“development of students’ metacognitive abilities to foster self-directed, lifelong learning skills.”(Ambrose, 2013, p. 16-17). Ambrose highlights a gap in the formal inclusion of metacognitiveactivity in the engineering curriculum (Ambrose, 2013). Regular reflection plays a critical rolein the construction of metacognitive knowledge and self-regulatory skills – or planning for,monitoring, and evaluating one’s own learning, knowledge, and skills (Schraw, 1998; Steiner &Foote, 2017).

The result from paired t-test showed that the increase wasstatistically significant (at p < 0.001) for both groups.We had expected that ability to collaborate and earn extra virtual points when working withpeers would motivate students to perform better, however the results seem to indicate otherwise.Based on the feedback from instructors, it was found that teams were formed randomly (size of3 students) which limited the engagement and that could have resulted with less team-basedcollaboration within SEP-CyLE.

therefore were penalized forthe design challenge.In order to determine how long teams spent designing we used Energy3D’s logs, which is likelyto be a conservative estimate as time spent planning, revising plans, or group discussions are notcaptured through the action-logging of the system. In sticking with a conservative estimate, wesubtracted out time in which students appear to idle. The clearest example of this is whenstudents run an analysis, which may take up to 20 minutes to complete on complex designs.Additionally, if students were inactive for 40 minutes or longer their idle time was subtractedout. While we cannot rule that students’ may be active at this time, we are unable to definitivelyascertain this, so a conservative measure of time
