Our Complex Systems Toolkit knowledge article “Understanding emergence in complex engineering systems” introduces the concept of emergence as one key characteristic of complex systems, situates it within systems thinking, and provides practical guidance for recognising and managing emergent behaviours in engineering practice.
This article should be read by educators at all levels in higher education who are seeking to provide students with an overall perspective on complex systems in engineering.
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.
