The strategies used have universal application in complex problem solving. It is not only engineers who use them: Scientists 'engineer' the development of a drug; professional engineers will engineer the design and development of an aircraft. Businesses are 'engineered' (or 're-engineered'). | ||
Those who seek to address the complex problems of the modern world - sustainability, inequality, energy, climate change, waste - must use the strategies. All who have, or aspire to have, a responsible role in society should discipline their minds to use them. | Those who seek to address the complex problems of the modern world - sustainability, inequality, energy, climate change, waste - must use the strategies.

Whereas 'what you know' might be described in term of disciplinary expertise, ethos is 'how you think'. Ethos is a crtical issue in engineered processes. | Whereas 'what you know' might be described in term of disciplinary expertise, ethos is 'how you think'.

Crtical thinking may be the most important feature of an engineered process | Crtical thinking may be the most important feature of an engineered process. Crticical thinkers identify and use guiding principles that lead to engineered outcomes. | ||
Deep collaboration within the project team with unswerviing commitment to the project goals is also a key feature of an engineered process. | |||
