In addition, we also have in place a mechanism for continuous re-vision and improvement of the existing computational modules through an end-of-year debriefand planning session, in which the SIIP faculty and teaching assistant conduct a “post mortem”of the computational modules. By identifying aspects of the material, delivery, and student re-sponses that were positive and successful, and those that were less so, the team identifies how andwhere to improve the material and its dissemination for the following year.The student surveys provide valuable information, but their utility as an assessment instrumentcan benefit from further improvement.

To address this gap, the NSF funds programmatic interventions that attempt to increasedemographic representation to an “equitable” level.A skeptical assessment of interventions of this sort is that they are really about enriching theexperiences of already privileged participants in the nation’s engineering schools by exposingthem to alternative perspectives. On the face of it, this is an important and laudable development.Exposure to alternative perspectives for engineers are valuable in and of themselves.

Hopper [20] describes characteristics of systems thinking and maps them toBloom’s Revised Taxonomy. The first level is recognizing interconnections, in which a personwould be expected to be able to identify the components of a system and see connectionsbetween those parts. Assessment tools that may be appropriate to establish this level of systemsthinking include a list of system parts and connections shown through words or diagrams. Thisgives a framework for categorizing systems thinking tendencies directly in an engineer’s work,as opposed to indirectly through a survey. The

Thealternative is to foster a growth mindset, where one believes ability can be improved throughpractice, effort, and hard work. However, automated grading tools used on programmingassignments currently focus on objectively assessing functional
