ICED17 MANUSCRIPT FOR 21ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON Engineering Design 21-25 AUGUST 2017, THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER, CANADA Design Thinking vs. Systems Thinking for Engineering Design : What s the Difference? Melissa T. Greene1 Richard Gonzalez1 Panos Y. Papalambros1 Anna-Maria McGowan2 Abstract: Design Thinking (DT) and Engineering Systems Thinking (EST) are two complementary approaches to understanding cognition, organization, and other non-technical factors that influence the Design and performance of Engineering Systems . Until relatively recently, these two concepts have been explored in isolation from one another; Design Thinking methods have been applied to industrial Design and product development, while Engineering Systems Thinking is used in professional Systems Engineering practice and large-scale, complex Systems Design . This work seeks to explore the relationship between these two concepts, comparing their historical development, values, applications, and methods.
substantially since the early 1980s. Contemporary applications of the term "designer thinking" generally refer to the study of "cognitive processes and strategies employed by human designers working on design problems (Dinar et al., 2015)." These processes are explored through case studies, think-aloud
