Statement
Complex Problem
Engineering problems which cannot be resolved
without in depth engineering knowledge, and have
some or all of the characteristics listed below:
Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical,
engineering and other issues
Have no obvious solution and require abstract
thinking, originality in analysis to formulate suitable
models
Requires research-based knowledge much of which
is at, or informed by, the forefront of the
professional discipline and which allows a
fundamentals-based, first principles analytical
approach
Involve infrequently encountered issues
Are outside problems encompassed by standards
and codes of practice for professional engineering
Involve diverse groups of stakeholders with widely
varying needs
Have significant consequences in a range of
contexts
Are high level problems including many component
parts or sub-problems
