Spotlight on complex systems: How to scaffold complex systems learning outcomes across a curriculum

Our Complex Systems Toolkit guidance articleHow to scaffold complex systems learning outcomes across a curriculum” examines integrating complex systems learning outcomes into engineering curricula and provides tables that map learning outcomes against competencies and suggest scaffolding techniques across educational levels.

This article should be read by educators at all levels of higher education looking to embed and integrate complex systems topics into curriculum, module, and/or programme design. It addresses both AHEP mapping and INCOSE competencies. 

Article author Dr. Mariam Makramalla had this to say about the Complex Systems Toolkit: “As an engineering educator, students are approaching me all the time with questions of how what they study connects to real life. The amount of complexity and connectivity that this toolkit offers is ground-breaking and incredibly necessary for this day and age.”

We’ve provided this and other Knowledge articlesGuidance 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.
