This implies that the system dynamics goes beyond thestrict decision support metaphor, and should be applied as a toll conductive to support thinking, groupdiscussion, and most importantly modeling of complex dynamic systems and interaction with learningeffectiveness. Recently, some researchers [1] [2] presented two different approaches: black-box and glass-box, respectively. Different kinds of complexities are adequately handled by a static structure analysis [6].System dynamics provides this capability and supports conceptually linking explanations about complexbehavior to

Engineering Education, 2012 Newberry and Farison Redux: A survey of general engineeringFor some time now it has been conventional wisdom that multidisciplinary or interdisciplinaryactivities will be increasingly important in the future. For example, the ABET General Criteriahas contained outcome (d), which is “an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams” for closeto two decades now. Here we will explore that question using some quantifiable evidence. Wewill conclude that one major option for the inclusion of multidisciplinarity into undergraduateeducation is not being adopted in spite of this conventional wisdom. We conclude by brieflyconsidering why this is the case.MethodologyHere we will use the ABET accreditation process as a source
