Engineer as a Decision maker - Copy
The document discusses engineers as decision makers. It argues that engineers are decision makers because design involves making choices about product configurations, materials, manufacturing processes, and end-of-life disposal. A decision is defined as a choice made from alternatives that involves committing resources and results in outcomes, with uncertainty and risk. However, a survey found that 80% of engineering graduates do not see themselves as professionals or decision makers, which the document attributes to lack of vision in engineering education, transparency in evaluations, career counseling, research opportunities, and coordination between management, faculty and students. Successful decision makers in business are provided as case studies.

I 4 scenarioplanning
Scenario planning is a strategic planning method used to prepare for potential future events and situations. It involves identifying key factors that could significantly impact the future, developing scenarios around different combinations of those factors, and determining how to respond under each scenario. The key steps are to identify sources of uncertainty, build scenarios by exploring how the uncertainties might interact, estimate the likelihood of each scenario, identify early signs or "trigger points", develop action plans, and monitor for trigger points during implementation. Scenario planning helps organizations make better decisions and be more resilient when facing an unpredictable future.
