技术科学究竟是什么?

What is the engineering sciences?

钱学森的技术科学思想是着眼于国家科技政策、立足于工程教育、统筹科学技术整体知识体系,有着深邃意义的国家创新理论思想。但由于科技界和学术界对相关术语和概念的理解存在混淆,使得该思想没有发挥出其应有的创新政策指导功能。文章在试图厘清技术科学词源的基础上,明确技术科学的内涵及其在现代科学技术体系中的地位,阐释技术科学在建设科技强国中的作用,以呼吁社会各界弘扬钱老的技术科学思想,建设以技术科学为重点的现代科学技术体系,加强自然科学基础理论教育,启动技术科学建设科技强国的强大潜能。

Tsien H.S.’s thought of engineering sciences is a profound national innovation theory, which focuses on national science and technology policy, engineering education and overall knowledge system of science and technology. However, due to the confusion on the understanding of relevant terms and concepts, the thought has not played its due role in guiding innovative policies. On the basis of trying to clarify the etymology of engineering sciences, this paper clarifies the connotation and its position in the modern science and technology system, explains the role of engineering sciences in building a powerful country. We appeal to all sectors of society to carry forward Qian Lao’s thought of engineering sciences, build a modern science and technology system focusing on engineering sciences, strengthen the education of basic theory of natural science and start the strong potential of engineering sciences in building a powerful country.
