Guelph Engineering Leadership Program

Join GEL for a workshop on Systems Thinking to learn how assumptions and interactions can affect the feasibility and success of solutions.

Thornbrough Building Room 1435

GEL 2025/26

Guelph Engineering Program - 2025/26 academic year

Engineering solutions rarely fail because of limited knowledge of science; they often fail because of incomplete assumptions about how things interact. This workshop is a fast-paced, game-based introduction to systems thinking where you’ll be thinking, arguing, testing strategies, and watching complex systems evolve in real time. Through hands-on collaborative challenges, you’ll learn how small decisions ripple outward, why some seemingly sensible solutions backfire, and how engineers can design with complexity instead of fighting it. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical tools used in engineering, policy, sustainability, and design. There are two times available for this workshop. Please select the one that works best for your schedule.
