Complex Systems Toolkit: Assessing systems thinking through student-created AI simulations (CPD-certificated webinar)

Online event free 

Description:

As part of the Complex Systems Toolkit, supported by Quanser, we will be exploring assessing systems thinking through student-created AI simulations.

This free to attend workshop will be delivered by Dr. Stuart Grey, and will demonstrate a new assessment approach, developed from his teaching at the University of Glasgow and shared through the EPC’s Complex Systems Toolkit.

Students create and debug interactive AI simulations of complex sociotechnical scenarios, making their understanding of stakeholders, relationships, feedback and trade-offs visible through their design decisions and documented revisions.

Participants will try the activity themselves, examine what students’ work can reveal about their understanding, and explore how to set, support and mark this type of assessment in their own disciplines.

You can find a teaching activity from Dr. Grey – “LLM-driven interactive simulation for complex sociotechnical systems” – in the Complex Systems Toolkit.

Teaching activity: LLM-driven interactive simulation for complex sociotechnical systems
Dr. Stuart Grey SFHEA is Senior Lecturer in Engineering Systems Design at the University of Glasgow. After starting a career in nuclear-safety analysis, he completed a PhD in orbital mechanics and developed high-fidelity force models now used on ESA and GPS missions. His current research applies AI to systems-engineering problems and to interactive learning tools that strengthen ethical reasoning. Stuart leads curriculum redesign projects that embed inclusive assessment and complex-systems thinking, and he serves as External Examiner for Aerospace Engineering at the University of Manchester.
Dr. Nikita Hari is the Head of the Teaching and Research Design Support Group at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, where she oversees practical engineering education for the department. A multi-award-winning engineer, she was inducted into the UK Young Academy in 2024, listed in Engineers Making a Difference book by Imperial College London, recognised among the Top 50 Women in Engineering (WES UK, 2017), and named a Clinton Global Changemaker (2018). She holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cambridge and the Faculty for Future Postdoctoral Fellowship at Oxford. As co-chair of the Complex Systems Toolkit Working Group, Dr. Hari brings her experience in systems thinking and interdisciplinary research to advance educational strategies that address complex, socio-technical engineering challenges. She has co-founded two Edtech companies and served in key leadership roles, including CTO and COO, to drive innovation and inclusivity at the intersection of engineering, education, and entrepreneurship. A TEDx speaker and STEM advocate, Dr. Hari is dedicated to uplifting marginalised voices, especially women in STEM, and inspiring future change-makers to engineer a sustainable future.

Attendees will be eligible for certification for 1 Continuing Professional Development hour.
