Systems Thinking for Engineers

A six-week course on seeing the whole before optimizing the parts.

Most engineering failures are not failures of code — they are failures of understanding. This course teaches you to model complex systems, identify feedback loops, find leverage points, and make decisions that survive contact with reality. Designed for senior engineers, tech leads, and anyone who has shipped something that worked perfectly in isolation and failed spectacularly in production.

Syllabus

Week 1 — Stocks, Flows, and Feedback Loops, Week 2 — Delays, Oscillation, and Overshoot, Week 3 — Leverage Points (Meadows Framework), Week 4 — Modeling Real Systems (Incident Case Studies), Week 5 — Decision-Making Under Uncertainty, Week 6 — Designing for Resilience
