Measuring Systems Engineering and Design Thinking Attitudes

Team Based Engineering Design Thinking

Measuring Engineering Design Self-Efficacy

There is a growing need within engineering education to understand more completely how students learn and how to effectively teach them. While cognitive gains are an important outcome of engineering education, students need to have both the will and the skill to succeed (Pintrich and De Groot, 1990). An evaluation of changes to both will and cognition is needed to understand how student learnin...

Information Systems, Software Engineering, and Systems Thinking: Challenges and Opportunities

AbSTRAcT This article traces past research on the application of the systems approach to information systems development within the disciplines of information systems and software engineering. Their origins historically are related to a number of areas, including general systems theory. While potential improvement of software development practices is linked by some leading experts to the applic...

Design Thinking implemented in Software Engineering Tools Proposing and Applying the Design Thinking Transformation Framework

Design Thinking has collected theories and best-practices to foster creativity and innovation in group processes. This is in particular valuable for sketchy and complex problems. Other disciplines can learn from this body-of-behaviors and values to tackle their complex problems. In this paper, using four Design Thinking qualities, we propose a framework to identify the level of Design Thinkingn...

Applying systems thinking and aligning it to systems engineering

1 . This is a paper on thinking about thinking. Systems engineering is an emerging discipline in the area of defining and solving problems in the manner of (Wymore, 1993). The emerging paradigm for problem solving is “systems thinking”. Both systems engineering and systems thinking have recognized the need to view a system from more than one perspective. This paper proposes a set of perspective...
