Abstract
be assigned to build greater resilience by intervention and future planning. Renowned for his work on systems engineering, Elms (2022) o ff ers clarity in the application of systems thinking to engineering problems. The paper sets out fi ve attributes which are criti-cal to systems engineering approaches: future facing, the stance or attitude, general skills, a range of ways of thinking and skills in tackling complex and novel systems problems. The paper develops each of these in detail before tackling the di ffi culties of human related hin-drances. Finally three case studies amplify the range of issues addressed and highlight suc-cesses and failures in given applications.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the advancement of systems thinking and systems techniques throughout systems engineering, environmental engineering decision-making, and engineering management. We do this by publishing the practical applications and developments of "hard" and "soft" systems techniques and thinking.
Submissions that allow for better analysis of civil engineering and environmental systems might look at:
-Civil Engineering optimization
-Risk assessment in engineering
-Civil engineering decision analysis
-System identification in engineering
-Civil engineering numerical simulation
-Uncertainty modelling in engineering
-Qualitative modelling of complex engineering systems
