Technology (ABET) accreditation criteria forengineering programs that took effect in the 2019–2020 accreditation cycle [1] reflect an increasedemphasis in having engineering graduates that are prepared to participate in the development ofcomplex products and systems.The wide array of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) desired in engineering professionals isevident in references such as the Engineering Competency Model jointly developed by theAmerican Association of Engineering Societies (AAES) and the US Department of Labor (DoL),the CDIO (Conceive Design Implement Operate) Syllabus 2.0 proposed by the CDIO organization,and the U. S. Department of Defense Systems Engineering Career Competency Model [2-5]. Someof the listed KSAs [2-5] highlight

.114] were developed to measure systems thinking competencies in contexts beyond self-reported attitudesand behaviors. The problem scenario is a hypothetical vignette that asks students to consider multipledetails in an ill-structure problem context. The scenario provides information that possibly representsengineering and technical skills, economic feasibility, ethical considerations, and cultural sensitivity,which can be considered when studying potential solutions [21, p. 114]. "The Village of Abeesee has about 50,000 people. Its harsh winters and remote location make heating a living space very expensive. The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Abeesee residents. In fact, many
