Can you contribute to our Complex Systems Toolkit?
Register your interest in contributing a resource by 30th June: https://epc.ac.uk/article/contributions-sought-for-the-complex-systems-toolkit/
If you know of existing resources that we can link to within the toolkit, please add them here.
Complex intelligent systems, systems thinking competency, and understanding complexity are all critical to engineering in the 21st century, and when integrated holistically, complex systems in engineering teaching can align with other initiatives that promote responsible engineering. Learning approaches for integrating complex systems knowledge, skills, and mindsets in engineering supports educators in their own professional development, since many may have not learned about this topic that they are now expected to teach. Accreditation frameworks increasingly refer to complex problems and systems thinking in outcomes for engineering programmes, and yet very few resources exist that support engineering educators to integrate these into their teaching in a comprehensive and effective way or indeed to upskill educators to be able to deliver this teaching.
To address this gap, a Complex Systems Toolkit is being developed by the Engineering Professors’ Council with support from Quanser.
