Spotlight on complex systems: LLM-driven interactive simulation for complex sociotechnical systems

Our Complex Systems Toolkit teaching resource “LLM-driven interactive simulation for complex sociotechnical systems” explores student created interactive simulation for complex sociotechnical systems, enabling engineering students to create, run, and debug a text‑based, interactive simulation of a complex sociotechnical system using a Large Language Model (LLM).

It is intentionally flexible and may be delivered as a multi‑session studio activity (including assessment) or used solely as a compact assessment, and addresses related INCOSE Competencies and AHEP 4 themes.

Resource author, Dr. Stuart Grey, had this to say about his involvement with the Complex Systems Toolkit: “As someone who has been a heavy user of the EPC resources in my teaching over the years, particularly the Ethics Toolkit, I am incredibly proud to contribute to the Complex Systems Toolkit. It is an area with extensive good practice across the sector, a lot of which will now be available in one place.”

We’ve provided this and other practical Teaching resourcesKnowledge 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.
