TLDR
It is argued that a new and different world view needs to be introduced into the training of future generations of engineers, for with the increased networking of society, not just management but also technological problem situations will move more and more towards the ill-structured end of the spectrum.About:

The Logic of Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that even a complete mathematical description of a physical system S does not in general enable one to predict with certainty the result of an experiment on S, and in particular one can never predict both the position and the momentum of S, (Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle) and most pairs of observations are incompatible, and cannot be made on S simultaneously.
