Decision Making in Engineering: Navigating Complexity and Uncertainty
Author(s): Damian Charlie*
Decision making is a critical aspect of engineering that plays a pivotal role in shaping the outcomes of projects, products, and systems. Engineering decisions are rarely straightforward, as they involve complex trade-offs, technological advancements, regulatory considerations, and a plethora of variables that make the decision-making process challenging. In this comprehensive essay, we will delve into the world of decision-making in engineering, exploring its various facets, challenges, tools, and methodologies. We will also discuss how modern engineering practices are adapting to address the growing complexity and uncertainty in decision making. Engineering projects often require input from multiple disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, and more. The interconnectedness of these disciplines necessitates decisions that account for the interplay between variou.. Read More»
