The FRAM consists of four steps: (1) functionidentification and description, (2) variability identification, (3) variability aggregation, and (4)control mechanism identification [25]. The functions that comprise each model, identified anddefined in the first step, represent all actions that occur within the system. Each function ischaracterized by up to six factors: input(s), output(s), precondition(s), resource(s) or executivecondition(s), control(s), and time. A function may be a foreground function if it is the primaryprocess of concern or a background function if it affects the process but is not directly involved.The first three

For example, Hopper and Stave [6]developed ways to assess the effectiveness of systems thinking interventions in the field ofeducation by defining systems thinking, determining what systems thinking interventions werebeing used in the current education models, and describing how the effects of interventions havebeen measured. Their definition uses the learning objectives in Bloom et al.’s [7] taxonomy tocreate their own proposed taxonomy as it pertains to systems thinking.

DescriptionThe main focus of this NSF Scholarship in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(S-STEM) project is to provide 70 scholarships and student support services to student veteranswhich will address the major barriers to degree completion in engineering and engineeringtechnology. Students who participate in this program are veterans who are either juniors orseniors. They also have to demonstrate a financial need, motivation, and proven academicexcellence, and have exhausted their Post-911 GI Bill benefits. The students participating in thisprogram are from one of the following majors that are available at our college. These are: Civiland Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical andAerospace Engineering

Furthermore,the majority of these research studies on college students focus on first-year students enrolled ina mathematics course [3].
