Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to execute design development of a large-scale system reliably for a short period of time, a new methodology such as systems engineering is required instead of the old method relying on designer's experience, intuition and trial and error, The system thinking that forms the foundation of systems engineering has extremely limited opportunities to be treated as learning-content even in higher education in the engineering field. Research leaders developed a system modeling tool and implemented a system thinking education program using the tool. As a result, it was confirmed that learners' understanding of system thinking was improved, and we improved the tools based on feedback. Measuring the eye potential and head movement during using the tool, we deepened the understanding of the relationship between human interface and UI.
