Engineering systems thinking and systems thinking

Abstract: This 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. In addition, new laws were added. Thirty “engineering systems thinking” laws are suggested. The first stage in the development of an engineering curriculum is the analysis of the graduate's activities (qualification upon graduation). Therefore, on the practical level, based on the 30 laws, one could design curriculum for constructing “engineering systems thinking” and show on which learning theories or combination of theories should the learning environment be based. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
