Our Complex Systems Toolkit knowledge article “The role of Wicked Problems thinking to help understand the extent of engineering involvement in complex systems” explores how Wicked Problems thinking can help learners to understand complex problems and systems thinking in situations which are ambiguous, contested, sometimes lacking an end state, evolving over time, requiring collaboration, adaptability, and inherently cross-disciplinary.
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. It relates to relevant INCOSE competencies and AHEP 4 themes.
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.
