Our Complex Systems Toolkit knowledge article “A tool for thinking about complex systems and policy” explores complexity and engineering policy, looking at what happens when the relatively simple/complicated field of engineering and physical systems bump into the complex/chaotic and often tumultuous, emotional, and values-laden arena of public policy.
This article should be read by educators at all levels in higher education who are seeking an understanding of the connection between complex systems in engineering education and public policy. It addresses INCOSE competencies and AHEP 4 themes.
We’ve provided this and other practical Teaching resources, Knowledge articles and Guidance articles for you to use and adapt, and to make it simple for you to embed complex systems concepts into your teaching.
