  2. 21. MECHATRONIC METAPHORS : An embodied realist framework of complexity and expertise in mechatronic project work

    Author : Elias Flening; Martin Grimheden; Anna Jerbrant; David Bradley; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Utvecklingsprojekt inom mekatronik innehåller höga nivåer av komplexitet och kräver expertis i samma utsträckning för att hantera denna. I och med globalt minskande produktivitetsvinster från ingenjörsarbete samt ”outtrassliga” (wicked) problem i utvecklingen av mekatroniska system – med sedan länge rapporterade utmaningar så som brist på gemensam systemförståelse, avsaknad av gemensamt språk för koncept, och disparata mentala modeller – så blir det kritiskt att förstå de faktiskt gällande uppfattningar av komplexitet och kompetens inom utvecklingsprojekt.

    Abstract : Over the last two decades, large-scale project endeavors or major programs that typically deliver a substantial physical infrastructure or a complex product with a lifetime that can extend for decades and across industries have become the norm for many utility sectors, such as transport, energy, water, or food. The allure of ever-larger projects shows no sign of fading away in the face of sustainable development and grand societal challenges – quite the contrary. READ MORE
