Abstract
This paper asks what ‘engineering systems thinking’ is and seeks to determine what distinguishes it from ‘systems thinking.’ The purpose of the study was to identify the characteristics of engineers who are able to think in the manner we call ‘engineering systems thinking.’ The study seeks to define the term ‘engineering systems thinking’ on a theoretical level and then to move from the theoretical level to the operational level. A thorough understanding of ‘engineering systems thinking’ on both the theoretical and operational levels will prove useful in the design of curricula to improve and develop thinking of this sort. Our study was based on 28 interviews, 14 lectures, and 2 observation sites. This paper treats only the material that pertains directly to engineering systems thinking.
