thatthere are difficulties in proper delivery of systems analysis and systems dynamics to engineeringstudents; the fact remains that: these tools are extremely useful for someone who plans tobecome a designer. Therefore, ways have to be found to enhance the understanding of systems’thinking, and at the same time, to develop educational experiences that could efficiently improvelearning outcomes.2) Looking at risk management and uncertainty: Engineering design is carried out relying onincomplete data, imperfect models, often with unclear objectives, and other potential problemsand constraints.

All of the courses relied upon extensive student-student and student-faculty interaction. Students read assigned materials, discussed them inclass with the instructor, and then used information gleaned from the reading and discussions tocomplete assignments that would be useful in performing their duties as faculty members.Some examples of assignments are a syllabus and materials for a course in the student’stechnical field, an interactive presentation of course materials, a detailed teaching philosophy,and a plan for mentoring graduate students.
