Study sheet and exam grades were collected from thirty-three students which they prepared for Spring 2023 mid-semester examinations. The course incorporatescontemporary readings, team projects, and experiential learning to enhance students’ conceptual and practicalunderstanding of socio-technical systems. The use of systems thinking concepts and tools are used to help studentsframe socio-technical problems with an emphasis on stakeholder perspectives and ethical decision making within ahistorical and contemporary context

This is important because Technical Writing is typically where teamwork isintroduced and/or practiced.Course syllabi: It seems logical to assume that Engineering and
