The Future of Industrial Engineering As An Academic Discipline

Industrial engineering as an academic discipline appears to have reached a crisis. While the typical industrial engineering curriculum based on the Roy report results in graduate engineers who are valued by many employers, it has proved to have some adverse implications. Industrial engineering departments have not been able to maintain cohesiveness and a common view of their discipline and the engineering content has been at too low a level to put industrial engineers at the forefront of technological development. The problems and some possible solutions are described; however, this paper is primarily intended to identify some of the key issues that need to be discussed.     

时间尺度上三阶非线性中立型动力方程的振动准则

Taking Another Look at Educating African American Engineers: The Importance of Undergraduate Retention

In this paper we identify the engineering schools that either graduate large classes of African Americans or that retain relatively high percentages of African American students in engineering; point out that modest improvements in student retention would significantly affect the total number of bachelors degrees earned annually by African Americans in engineering; examine the measures implemented by some schools that are particularly effective at retaining African Americans in engineering; and present our views on the future of diversity efforts in engineering. The message we wish to emphasize is that at the very least colleges and universities should endeavor to retain those under represented minority undergraduates who have decided to pursue an engineering education. Frequently used abbreviations EWC — Engineering Workforce Commission, HBCU — historically black college or university, MEP — minority engineering program, MES — minority engineering society, MRR — minority retention rate, NACME — National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, TWI — traditionally white institution

浅析工程地质工作存在的问题与对策

工程地质工作的质量,对工程方案的决策和工程建设的顺利进行至关重要。由于地质问题引起的工程事故时有发生,轻则修改设计延误工期,严重时造成工程失事给人民生命财产带来重大损失。近年来,工程地质勘察质量有下滑现象,工程地质分析不够深入,有的甚至出现工程地质评价的结论性错误。本文主要分析在工程地质相关过程中存在的主要问题及有效解决对策。

Decision Making in the Engineering Classroom

This paper outlines the exploration of an analogy between the developmental stages of engineering education and the stages of moral development of an individual as synthesized by Kohlberg. This exploration is used to discuss the components of education necessary to educate the “post-conventional engineer.” The exploration is relevant to understanding the historical or evolutionary stage of engineering as a profession in order to set a framework for engineering education. This analysis raises some of the issues for incorporating decisionmaking into engineering education. The paper also proposes some simple classroom techniques that can aid in developing the dimensions of social responsibility as part of the engineering classroom and decisionmaking.

We need to talk about engineering policy

The governance of engineering, unlike science, is rarely discussed in the academy. We analyse this issue in relation to the prevalence of the term ‘engineering policy’ in contrast to ‘science policy’ as a means of demonstrating the nature of the different treatment of these concepts inside the academy and outside. We show that ‘engineering policy’ as a term has almost no academic inquiry relative to science policy, and that even ‘engineering’ is marginalised in critical social science domains like Science and Technology Studies, as others have noted. Further, we extend this exploration with regard to the visibility of engineering policy in practice communities where it ought to be visible but isn't. Specifically, we use the UK government and governance communities as a space to show how engineering and policy for engineering remain side-lined in policy practice. Given how central engineering is to society, the obscurity of its governance mechanisms and the absence of critical scrutiny of engineering policy, we propose a research and action agenda as a means of stimulating action and coalescing a community of stakeholders to redress this situation with some urgency.     

混沌工程学

世界是非线性的,线性只是其近似描述,混沌的发现表明：某些确定性非线性系统具有内在的随机行为。事实上,以往20年,无所不在的混沌现象几乎在每个学科都有所报道,如数学、物理学、化学,甚至社会科学。但理论研究学者的主要兴趣在于探究混沌的本质。与此同时,混沌的实际利用在许多工程领域受到重视,如信息工程、系统工程、医药工程、农业工程、电气工程、生物工程、机械工程、土木工程等。混沌工程学是一门新的研究混沌实际利用及其基本理论的非线性工程科学。。文章对现代混沌工程学的定义、对象、概念、方法、理论与应用加以总结,并介绍其近来的进展及作者的工作。混沌工程学在国民经济与国防建设中研究的热点是：混沌分析技术,混沌控制技术与混沌生成技术。

缓冲算子修正的单桩极限承载力的灰色预测

如何利用未达到破坏的试桩资料确定单桩极限承载力是一个重要的工程问题。根据单桩初始加载阶段的实测数据,建立以灰色系统理论为基础的GM(1,1)模型,预估单桩极限承载力,已在工程实际中取得一定的效果,但其精度有待提高。该文系统地论述了缓冲算子的概念和公理系统,探求了缓冲算子的使用规律,介绍了几种典型的缓冲算子及其特性,并采用缓冲算子修正了GM(1,1)模型以预测单桩的极限承载力。工程实例表明:该文的模型提高了预测精度,可在工程实际和理论研究中推广应用。
