1 INTRODUCTION
Con inuing Enginee ing Educa ion (CEE) is becoming inc easingly i al as i aims o

Sus ainable socie ies can u he bene i om he ansi ion o g een echnologies,

demands new compe encies om p o essionals, and CEE mus be p epa ed o mee

Since he 1980s, SEFI and he In e na ional Associa ion o Con inuing Enginee ing

Exis ing p og ams o e ed and he skills needed in he indus y a e no always

especially because he e is no pe cei ed immedia e use o he new skills gained

Many o hese challenges pe se e e due o he complexi y and dynamic na u e o

The igh loop is balancing (odd numbe o “-”), meaning a change in one di ec ion igge s
an opposing e ec (e.g., hunge leads o ea ing, which educes hunge ). The igu e was

Gi en he lack o exis ing s udies applying CLDs o educa ional sys ems and CEE,

Speci ically, how can CLDs help explain key dynamics and isualise ade-o s,

4.2 The Value o CLDs in CEE Resea ch and P ac ice
