Whole-life Thinking and Engineering the Future

Roger Flanagan

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2014, Volume 1, Issue 3,   Pages 290-296 doi: 10.15302/J-FEM-2014040

Abstract: Whole-life thinking for engineers working on the built environment has become more important in a fastWhole-life thinking is not new, every project attempts to balance the initial capital cost with the operatingEngineers are increasingly concerned with complex systems, in which the parts interact with each otherSystems thinking provides one approach to developing a more robust whole-life approach.Systems thinking is a process of understanding how things influence one another within a wider perspective

Strategic Thinking on Shallow-water Oil and Gas Exploration in Offshore China

Ke-qiang Wu,Jian-yong Xu,Bo Kang

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2016, Volume 3, Issue 4,   Pages 349-355 doi: 10.15302/J-FEM-2016056

Abstract: The oil and gas exploration in offshore China has made great achievements, and as the important areas of offshore exploration, the shallow waters contribute most of the oil and gas reserves and production. However, the available area for exploration is diminishing and the cost of exploration is rising. The field changes and ever increasing difficulties of exploration bring new challenges technically and economically. Therefore, for effective exploration of shallow-water oil and gas in offshore China, it is necessary to center on the general requirements of becoming a powerful marine country and the ideas of value exploration, initiate key research projects in the fields of China’s offshore stratigraphic-lithologic reserves, Paleogene reserves, buried-hill reserves, high temperature and pressure reserves and hydrocarbon-rich sags, and form geological theories and explorative technologies of large and medium size oil and gas field in offshore China. The measures regarding the challenges include: (1) Innovating theoretical understanding and optimizing new exploration fields, (2) developing technical capabilities and improving the success rate of exploration, and (3) enhancing management level and deepening value exploration.

Qian Xuesen and Noetic Science

Lu Mingsen

Strategic Study of CAE 2002, Volume 4, Issue 2,   Pages 8-15

Abstract:

This article analyzes the background and the necessity of the establishment of noetic science which was initiated by Qian Xuesen. The article also presents a whole string of Qian’s views on the object of study, basic approach and ideological root of noetic science. The article describes in particular that noetic science is one of the eleven department of the contemporary system of science and technology. It contains three hierarchies, as fundamental science, technical science and engineering. The preliminary achievements in each hierarchy in the recent two decades are presented.
