Handbook of Engineering Systems Design
We are delighted to announce this Springer Reference Works.
More than 60 leading scholars from the Engineering Systems Design community including many active members of the Design Society share their insights on multi-level systems change for humane and sustainable futures.
In 35 chapters, the Handbook surveys the lay of the land and brings together challenges, positions, theories, methods, case examples, conjectures, and actionable insights forward across design, management, and policy.
- Part 1 The basics of the socio-technical engineering systems perspective
- Part 2 Describing core characteristics of large-scale engineering systems
- Part 3 Designing engineering systems interventions
- Part 4 Reflecting on engineering systems interventions
- Part 5 A look to the future with case examples from health and transport and calls to action
Thank you to all authors, editors, nature, colleagues in academia, industry, government for inspiration, dialogue, and visionary determination to get here. May our collective work provide a solid foundation to build on.
