Abstract

ABSTRACT The author’s reply to David Elms welcomes the supportive comments and offers a visualisation of the body of knowledge required of a systems engineer, building on the ‘T-shaped' person construct. The systems engineer requires a series of pillars of deep domain knowledge, acquired throughout a lifetime of experience, with serial capstones representing the synthesis and integration of that knowledge. Many of the capstones should be from the distant territories of ‘liberal arts' – leading to ‘Stonehenge-shaped people'.

作者对David Elms关于“将文科融入土木工程系统工程师的知识体系”的讨论的回复

作者对David Elms的回复欢迎支持性评论，并提供了一个系统工程师所需知识体系的可视化，建立在“t形”人结构的基础上。系统工程师需要一系列深入领域知识的支柱，这些知识是通过一生的经验获得的，具有代表该知识的综合和集成的一系列顶点。许多顶点石应该来自遥远的“文科”领域——导致“巨石阵形状的人”。

期刊介绍： Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the advancement of systems thinking and systems techniques throughout systems engineering, environmental engineering decision-making, and engineering management. We do this by publishing the practical applications and developments of "hard" and "soft" systems techniques and thinking. Submissions that allow for better analysis of civil engineering and environmental systems might look at: -Civil Engineering optimization -Risk assessment in engineering -Civil engineering decision analysis -System identification in engineering -Civil engineering numerical simulation -Uncertainty modelling in engineering -Qualitative modelling of complex engineering systems
