Listen "#96 Complex Problems: The Definition Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
There are three characteristics of which a complex engineering problem must comply with at least one of the following.
i) are ill-posed, under- or over specified, or require identification and refinement;
ii) are high-level problems including component parts or sub-problems;
iii) are unfamiliar or involve infrequently encountered issues;
These points tend to cause confusion, at least for students. This is largely down to a lack of critical evaluation of what is read. Allow us to break it down for you.
