    The document defines and provides attributes of complex problems and complex engineering activities. Complex problems are engineering problems that cannot be solved without in-depth knowledge, involve conflicting requirements, require abstract thinking and extensive analysis and knowledge, and have high stakes and consequences. Complex engineering activities similarly involve resolving interactions between diverse issues, using innovation and research-based knowledge to solve problems with significant consequences.
