摘要
探讨了工程生态概念及其提出背景,分析了工程生态的基本性质,以及工程生态与自然生态、工程系统的关系,展望了工程生态研究的基本进路。主张工程是一种生态性存在,在生态网络中定位工程、理解工程、驾驭工程是工程实践的必然要求;唯有在生态中认识工程、遵循生态规律建构工程,才能实现工程的可持续发展并更好地造福人类。
With the rapid advancement and widespread adoption of information technology,especially the Internet,Internet of Things,big data,and artificial intelligence,the integration of engineering activities across various domains has emerged as a prevailing trend.As a result,the concept of engineering ecology has gained increasing attention in the engineering field.Previous discussions and theoretical frameworks on engineering ecology have primarily focused on a narrow ecological perspective,emphasizing the ecological environment and sustainable development.However,in recent years,there has been a growing body of research that adopts a broader ecological approach,encompassing organizational ecology,social ecology,political ecology,industrial ecology,innovation ecology,and information ecology.This comprehensive understanding of ecology can be extended to the realm of engineering philosophy,providing new insights into engineering practice.This paper aims to explore the fundamental concept of engineering ecology and its underlying context,analyze the essential nature of engineering ecology,and examine the distinctions and relationships between engineering ecology,natural ecology,and engineering systems.Building upon this foundation,the paper proposes a research framework for engineering ecology.The author argues that the engineering practice is inherently an ecological event,and the success or failure of engineering practice is all due to ecology.It is imperative for engineering practitioners to situate,comprehend,and manage engineering within the ecological network.This approach aligns with the methodological principle of considering problems holistically in engineering practice.By understanding engineering within an ecological framework and adhering to ecological principles,sustainable development of engineering can be achieved,benefiting humanity more effectively.In this context,engineering ecology becomes a new research subject within engineering philosophy,enabling the examination of engineering phenomena on a larger s
