) graduates’ attributes and current employers’ expectations.Therefore, with the growing demands from industry, it has become vital for engineeringprograms to focus on equipping students with non-technical or professional knowledge and skills[1]. Brunhaver et al. explain that with technical knowledge and skills becoming “less central orless sufficient” for performing engineering work, professional knowledge and skills have becomemore significant [2]. As such, programs are now tasked with widening their focus towards notonly ensuring that their graduates obtain adequate in-depth discipline specific knowledge,decision making and problem-solving skills but also towards ensuring that graduates areacquainted with ample informal pedagogies to support the

Often, engineering definitions of systems thinkingforeground the ability to account for relationships between different technical components of aproduct or process. However, these definitions frequently underemphasize how technicalelements of a solution influence and are influenced by contextual and human aspects of aproblem, such as the cultural, political, and economic context, required to successfully address aproblem [4] – [6].
