Two course objectives are to understandhow to frame complex issues in terms of systems thinking methodologies, and to evaluateoptions and alternative solutions to complex problems.As an important component of student learning, hands-on discovery activities (HODA) are usedto illustrate CST principles and models which allows students to experience the behavior ofsystems and to better understand CST. The hands-on discovery activities are at first led by theinstructor. The students form teams and then lead the learning experiences for the class as thesemester progresses.

The past couple of years has also seen the coming together of CS educators around the issue ofthinking about and developing guidelines for the Teaching of Responsible Computing [2]. While theseare welcome developments the style of teaching ethics tends to stay at one of two extremes. A courseheavily focused on the philosophy of ethics and a course that spends a great deal of time consideringthe impacts and harms of technology, particularly for speci�ic application areas such as AI [1]. Bothapproaches are valuable in their own way, but a concern for me has been that neither of theseapproaches equips students with how to actively engage in ethics throughout their future

However, the need to improve future engineers’ performance as communicators continuesto be a topic of concern. While engineering students have been exposed to different opportunitiesto become proficient communicators in academic settings, employers and executives still conveythe need for novice engineers to have better communication skills, which suggests that thecommunication currently learned in academia is not necessarily the same used on the job(Norback, Leeds, & Kulkarni, 2010).
