Spotlight on complex systems: The real world is a complex system

Our Complex Systems Toolkit knowledge article “The real world is a complex system” addresses the importance of teaching and learning about complex systems and how this relates to the real world that graduate engineers will be expected to navigate.

This article should be read by educators at all levels in higher education who are seeking an overall perspective on teaching approaches for integrating complex systems in engineering education, and addresses both AHEP mapping and INCOSE competencies. 

We’ve provided this and other Knowledge articles, Guidance articles and practical Teaching resources for you to use and adapt, and to make it simple for you to embed complex systems concepts into your teaching.
