An interesting research topic

Many of the serious technical incidents happn because of the human machine interaction failures. Some of these interactions are due to the delays in the machine operations or human cognition as well as the reinfinforcing feedback loops which overshoots. One intersting case whcih I think can be analysed by the applciation of system dynamics is "Pilot-induced oscillation ".
Pilot-induced oscillation (PIO), occurs when the pilott of an aircraft inadvertently commands an often increasing series of corrections in opposite directions, each an attempt to cover the aircraft's reaction to the previous input with an overcorrection in the opposite direction.

This is an interesting area to be modelled and researched by System Dynamics. Probably providing learning simulators to improve the pilots performance.

System Thinking and Modelling Master Program

IT Univesity in Gothenburg(Sweden) has a master program about "System Thinking and modelling" where Prof. Hans Bjornsson and Prof. Pal Davidsen teach system dynamics and system thinking. The program is running in English and in part-time mode.
