Engineering education needs to develop the competencies required for engineering work, and attract and retain students from diverse backgrounds. This study investigated the possibility that the perceived importance of competencies is subconsciously influenced by gendered assumptions, and as a consequence, this lowers the status given to stereotypically

Process Thinking in Engineering Education
2021 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON), 2021More and more organizations are seeking to adopt organization and management models oriented to their key processes rather than the traditional functional orientation. However, as organizations are seeking to become more process-oriented, numerous gaps and difficulties are recognized at the level of analysis, modelling, management and improvement of ...

Developing an innovator’s thinking in engineering education
Education and Information Technologies, 2021Engineering education must be changed following the change in the labor market. The cult of innovation has led to a demand for innovators who have both the mindset of an inventor who can see a problem and find a way to solve it, and the mindset of an entrepreneur who is ready to bring that solution to life.

Systems thinking or systems engineering
International Journal of Intelligent Defence Support Systems, 2009The problem faced by most systems organisations is how to develop and sustain staff with the appropriate systems skills and experience. To date, much has been made of the delineation of systems thinking and systems engineering. In this research, the partitioning of 'thinking' and 'engineering' has been explored using Discourse Analysis (DA) of ...

Journal of Management in Engineering, 1995
Value Engineering is a proven management technique used to identify alternative approaches for satisfying the requirements of the project cost while lowering costs and ensuring technical competence in performance. As a result of the increasing pressures of budget constraints, federal contractors should consider the merits of VE for implementation of ...

Engineering systems thinking and systems thinking
Systems Engineering, 2000This article deals with the question what distinguishes “engineering systems thinking” from “systems thinking”? Based on research findings, Senge's systems thinking laws were “adapted” to the “engineering systems thinking”—some were substantially modified, some replaced, and in some only the phrasing was changed.

Complex Network Thinking in Software Engineering
2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering, 2008The booming of Internet has brought new challenges to software engineering. In the network age, software industry has undergone a transition from manufacturing industry to the service trade, software doesnpsilat have clear hierarchy structure, specific life cycle and definite system border any longer.

Introducing lateral thinking in search engines
Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, 2006Decomposing a very complex problem into smaller subproblems that are much easier to solve is not a new idea. The "Parisian Approach"[9] applies this principle extensively to shatter complexity by cutting down the original problem into many small subproblems that are then globally optimized thanks to an evolutionary algorithm.

Enabling systems thinking for engineering students
2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), 2017Recent developments in science and technology have resulted in many advances in our daily lives and societal conditions. These developments led to increasingly complex engineering systems that tackle a wide range of societal needs. However, these also demand a broader skill-set for each engineer working with these systems and his/her training must span
