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
