Anonymous, (Dec. 29, 2021)Going through the ESD course at Cambridge University was a life-changing experience. The course broadened my horizon and shifted my paradigm. Engineers tend to have a highly methodical approach when solving a problem; while this trait is beneficial, it can lead to engineers having a myopic view of the problem. This course provided me with the tools required to take a step back, understand the problem at a systems level, and propose more wholesome solutions to improve the system.

I had been using traditional methods of solving engineering problems for many years, but the course has enabled me to make a 180-degree change in my thought processes and move towards a holistic viewpoint which considers adopting a system based approach to addressing engineering problems.
