Our Complex Systems Toolkit knowledge article “Engineering complex systems glossary” contains definitions of key terms relevant to Engineered Complex Systems.
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.
Richard Beasley, one of the authors of this resource, had this to say about working on the resource and on the toolkit itself: “I am a semi-retired Systems Engineer and believe passionately in helping engineers to know how to “Create Systems That Work”. I am proud to have been able to contribute in a small way to this important project to enable teaching understanding of complexity to engineers, as that is an increasing important facet of modern engineered solutions/systems.”
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.
