WHAT WERE WE
LOOKING FOR?
1. The junction of the theory, the tools and the
practice of knowledge;
2. The balance between cohesion and
autonomy; and
3. The use of the game like learning tool.
THEORETICAL “SYSTEMS THINKING” IDEAS
INTRODUCED IN THE DESIGN OF THE COURSE
• Balance between cohesion and autonomy
• Integration between discursive and practical dominions

Declarative rules
The ICNS – International Community of Nomad States – is the entity in charge of
evaluating the quality of the products and services produced by students. This
corresponds to the International Community. Additionally, the only valid accounting to
declare the accomplishment of the purpose of the game is that of the Central Bank of
Pensajistan. Such entities are managed by the teacher staff of the course, and even after
the revolution they are maintained as autonomous entities.
Negotiation rules
Whenever there are breaches between any of the integrants of the State of Pensajistan,
they are dissolved by two instances: the Supreme Court of Justice of Pensajistan and
the Council of the Faculty of engineering of Universidad de los Andes.
