degree program as incubators for eventual spin off to a new engineering degree programs in their own right; that is the likely case for our Systems Engineering program. Our program emphasizes (a) systems thinking and (b) low fidelity systems modeling, and developing competencies in (c) communication, (d) problem solving in a collaborative team, (e) professional leadership, and (f) a selection of courses to fulfill college and university requirements that cover a system. This paper also describes the beginning of a community-wide survey of U.S. Systems Engineering programs to test the hypothesis that the systems engineering academic community in the US lies along a linear axis with: (A) one

is also supported by Rehmann et al.’s [27] note that the creation ofbehavior over time graphs can be supported by tracing a loop in a causal loop diagram.RQ3: Affordances of Different Approaches to Assessing Systems ThinkingTwo main themes were identified that represent tensions between different types of affordancesseen across assessments. First was the tension between (a) having less structure so there arefewer constraints on the students’ visualization and (b) the potential for ambiguity whenevaluating a visualization. Another was the tension between (a) the time it takes to administer anassessment and (b) how much an evaluator can learn about a student’s or a group of students’understanding of a problem. These two tensions overlap. For
