Designing the Engineering Environment, Not Just the Engineer: Cognitive Foundations for Sustainable Systems Engineering Practice
Why do systems engineering practices degrade under pressure, and can the working environment be designed to prevent it? People attend to the signals they trust, and trust follows feedback. A delivery deadline offers clear criteria and immediate consequences, while a skipped review may cause no visible problem for months, so under pressure attention shifts, rationally,…
