卓越工程师培养:生态学观点——基于科廷大学工程教育中工业生态学课程的案例分析

On the Cultivation of Outstanding Engineers from the Ecological Viewpoint

"卓越计划"培养的现代工程师不仅要有创造性的大脑,更要勇于承担社会责任。维持一种人与人、人与社会、人与自然和谐共生的生态平衡,是这种社会责任的集中体现。承担卓越工程师培养主体任务的工程教育,其培养理念需要从传统的科技导向往新的生态导向转变。工业生态学致力于资源节约和循环利用的生态关怀,有机契合了现代工程教育中的这种伦理需求。科廷大学在工业生态学课程上的课程设置、教学安排以及评估反馈等经验,值得我国工程教育领域的研究者借鉴和探索。

The modern society not only requests the engineers to have creative thoughts, but also demands them to take the social responsibility. The core of such kind of social responsibility is to maintain an ecological balance between man and man, man and nature as well as man and society. The engineering education, which undertakes the subject task of outstanding engineers＇ training, should transfer to e- cology-oriented from technology-oriented cultivation. The industrial ecology fits to this ethnic＇s re-quirement due to the ecological concern of resource-effective and resource-recycling. Curtin University has extensive experience on industrial ecology curriculum including course setting; teaching arrange-ment and evaluating, which is worthwhile for us to learn and explore.
