多学科的工程观

Understanding of Multidisciplinary Engineering

由于工程存在多学科认识,如科学应用论、项目管理论、三元论、四元论、技术人工物以及工程思维等,导致工程与科学、技术、产业、项目等概念的混用,给工程研究带来很大困难。殷瑞钰院士在《冶金流程工程学》中提出"流程"的理论,为工程研究提供了逻辑起点。所谓工程就是实现一定目标的物质、能量和信息的综合转换流程。工程的本质就是人工化。

As there exists the multidisciplinary understanding in engineering,like science application,project,ternary,quaternion,technological artifacts and engineering thinking,the concepts,such as engineering and science,technology,industry,and projects,have been mixed up,causing difficulties in the research on engineering.The theory of ＂technological process＂ in ＂Metallurgical Process Engineering＂ written by Academician Yin Ruiyu is the logical starting point for engineering research.According to the theory,the so-called engineering is an integrated conversion process of material,energy and information to achieve certain objectives.As a result,the nature of engineering is artificialization.
