Decision-Making by Technical Expert Committees for Engineering Systems

Abstract

Engineering systems are complex by definition. Information about these systems must therefore be pooled from multiple technical experts. Understanding the social dynamics underlying multi-stakeholder decisions by committees of experts is therefore crucial to the nascent field of Engineering Systems. This research argues for the importance of the study of committee decision-making to the field of Engineering Systems, and provides a computational, quantitative approach for these analyses
