Description

Uncertainty is a key challenge in engineering, where incomplete knowledge and unpredictability often arise. Ronald E. van den Hoek’s work on coping with uncertainty provides strategies for managing these challenges. This research explores how personal values influence responses to uncertainty, using insights from A Tapestry of Values by Kevin Elliott. Elliott’s framework highlights how values shape scientific decision-making, particularly in uncertain situations. By integrating these perspectives, the study aims to show how a better understanding of values can improve decision-making and promote socially responsible outcomes in engineering projects.
