Abstract

The paper outlines the case for a body of knowledge for civil engineering systems engineers to include, alongside its primary focus on engineering and technology, supplementary strands from the liberal arts. A case is made for future thought leaders in civil engineering systems to be exposed to a body of knowledge that goes well beyond current UK engineering undergraduate content, providing the formation for a lifetime career in the design, planning, development and administration of infrastructure and cities systems. This would equip systems engineers with empathy and understanding of the social, economic, governance, cultural, philosophical, historic and business context behind complex civil engineering systems, and enhance skills in analysis, synthesis, collaboration, leadership, and communication skills. A set of exemplar modules is provided to complement the engineering and technology content of post-graduate systems courses.
将文科融入土木工程系统工程师的知识体系
本文概述了土木工程系统工程师的知识体系,除了主要关注工程和技术外,还包括文科的补充知识。在土木工程系统中,未来的思想领袖应该接触到远远超出当前英国工程本科内容的知识体系,为基础设施和城市系统的设计、规划、开发和管理提供终身职业生涯的基础。这将使系统工程师具备对复杂土木工程系统背后的社会、经济、治理、文化、哲学、历史和商业背景的同理心和理解,并提高分析、综合、协作、领导和沟通技巧的技能。提供了一套范例模块,以补充研究生系统课程的工程和技术内容。

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
