工程学:工程活动的跨学科整体性研究

Engineering Studies:Interdisciplinary and Holistic Approach to Engineering Activities

工程学是一个对工程活动进行跨学科、多学科整体性研究的交叉科学学科门类。基于"科学-技术-工程三元论",可以将工程学和科学学、技术学视为等位亲缘学科,三者虽有内容的局部交集,但各有内涵不同的研究对象。工程学、工程史、工程哲学都以工程作为研究对象,然而它们在研究层面、视角、方法、侧重点等方面有着明显的差异。借鉴科学学、技术学所建构的学科体系,工程学的所有分支学科按照基本属性和功能相对地划分为基础工程学、数理自然工程学、理论工程学、应用工程学、人文社会工程学五个学科群组。

Engineering studies are a discipline sub-section of cross-science, which is studied on engineering ac- tivities based on interdisciplinary, muhidisciplinary and holistic approach. According to the theory of ＂science, technology and engineering＂, engineering, science of sciences and technology studies are regarded as closely re- lated disciplines. Although the contents of the three are intersection, each of them has different connotations of the object. Engineering studies, history of engineering and engineering philosophy all regard engineering as the same research object. There are some obvious differences in the research level, perspective, method, emphasis and so on. Taking the subject system of science of sciences and technology studies as reference, the basic prop- erties and functions of all the branches of engineering studies are roughly divided into five discipline groups. They are basic engineering studies, mathematical nature engineering studies, theoretical engineering studies, applied engineering studies, humanities and social sciences engineering studies.
