Questions to investigate
Which boundary conditions shape a model?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How do material properties affect a design choice?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
What trade-offs arise over a system’s life cycle?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How should systems thinking be defined for a specific question?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
Which evidence could challenge an initial explanation of materials?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How do context and scale change an interpretation of design constraints?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
What ethical or practical limit matters when studying systems thinking?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
Which comparison would be fair when examining materials?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
How could uncertainty be communicated in a study of design constraints?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
What further evidence would change a decision related to systems thinking?
Define the terms, find a traceable source, state context and method, compare another perspective, and note what the evidence cannot show.
