At the end of the course, the capstone projects were evaluated to assess the level of SEapplication. The scope of the projects were objectively determined by the authors to decide if SEprinciples taught in the lecture were applied to the project. Course projects from the previous timethe course was taught, where no SE concepts were

Theaccreditation process includes evaluation of a program’s development and assessment of definedstudent outcomes (SO) (i.e. Criterion 3). These outcomes were recently revised by ABET forprograms seeking accreditation in 2019 and later. The systems engineering degree program atthe United States Air Force Academy has been

and the first implementation is planned for later this year. Theproject aims to (A) evaluate whether students exhibit a positive change in systems thinking afterthe systems thinking intervention, (B) assess the validity of the ST instrument adapted to thisproject and (C) assess the validity and reliability of the grading rubric developed for thisintervention. Exploratory analysis will also occur via use of meta-data available in the coursemanagement system.Phase I: Design- The Conceptual ApproachSystems thinking is a concept that dates back as early as the 1920s and is grounded in theories ofholism (attributed by Aristole, coined by J C Smuts), general systems theory, relational thinking,and cybernetics. Many well-known approaches have
