Alternatively, it is important to note that many other academicians havecollaborated with industry and funding agencies to remedy the lack of systems engineeringknowledge in graduating seniors. In separate efforts, Lee, Sheppard, and Zender et al. discusseddifferent approaches to integrate systems thinking into capstone projects [5-7]. Lee reported onsymbolic mathematics software tools to develop high fidelity models of complex systems incollaboration with an industry partner [5]. This approach lacked incorporation of the practicalinteractions between multiple subsystems while it emphasized the mathematical modeling ofeach subsystem. In another attempt to collaborate with industry, Zender et al. created a

The second laboratory objective is to ensure that the students becomefamiliar with the emerging technologies of Industry 4.0, such as automation, robotics, and theInternet of things. There are different work scenarios that may require robotic assistance. Forexample, some tasks can be done by robots to reduce operational costs; some tasks can becompleted by robots with better outcomes, and some other tasks may require a human operatorin the loop for safety reasons.

with theexpectation of honest behavior, doing so involves risk [1]. Students recognize this all too well;for example, “how can I be sure that a fellow team member will honor their commitments whenmy grade is at stake?” Therefore, taking the risk makes one feel vulnerable, and students alreadyexert pressure on themselves to perform extremely well, which makes them risk-averse.According to Larson and LaFasto [2], there has never been more of a need for collaboration insolving the world’s problems, and, at the same time, less of a willingness on the part of thosewho could solve them to work with others to do so. Just when greater trust is needed, less is felt.These authors also identify four necessary components for the development of trust
