Zusammenfassung:This paper makes the case that every undergraduate engineering student should study system dynamics. Parallel theoretical concepts in engineering and the social sciences, pressures from industry, and changes within the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)frame the argument for system dynamics as a "non-technical" education requirement. Some of the distinct benefits of utilizing the basic thinking tools of system dynamics for the future engineer are discussed.
