At present,China's economy is in rapid growth. The scale of engineering construction is increasing significantly and a number of major construction engineering projects have been completed or put into use. So the engineering management practice is facing new challenges with each passing day. In the meanwhile,our scholars are constantly summarizing what they have learnt in these activities and gradually establishing their own engineering management theory system,in which exploring the core thought of engineering management theory system becomes critical. By studying our engineering management theory and practice,this paper preliminarily sums up the core thought of the engineering management as "people-oriented, harmony between nature and humanity,collaborative innovation,building a harmony among people,society and nature", and a comprehensive definition of engineering management is made, with a hope to help the research on engineering management theory system.
During the life-cycle of the large projects,the operational phase which lasted the longest and cost the most,is the major link project benefits reflected. In the whole phase, energy, human resources and the equipment maintenance may cost a lot. Effective control of such cost is one of the main targets of engineering management informatization(EMI). In the phase of project operation, project management institution,customers and partners are the stakeholder of EMI. Through the case of the airport management informatization, inherited and innovation of EMI has been discussed.
This paper illustrates the scientific base of the ecological civilization and the connotation of its engineering,which understanding the ecological carrying capacity is the core of the ecological civilization construction, like civil engineering relying on the base. This paper proposes the index system of the regional ecological carrying capacity pointing that the new ecological engineering is to adapt to the ecological carrying capacity and the four-ecology principle of the ecological engineering using the Guilin region's water conservancy project as an example. This paper also points out that the new town is an artificial ecosystem that superimposes on the regional natural ecosystem,so the large-scale constructions of new towns should follow the principles of the ecological engineering.
This paper analyzes the current status of the construction industry,pointing out that weak human resources management of construction enterprise is one of the key factors affecting low labor productivity in the entire construction industry. Learning project management philosophy from mystery of Dujiangyan water conservancy, it creatively puts forward and establishes the "Dujiangyan Triangle Rule" human resources management system;and also combining with ten years practice of large state-owned construction enterprises,this paper discourses the connotation of "Dujiangyan Triangle Rule" human resources management system and its application results.
In the history of Chinese petroleum industry,the philosophical thinking is always used to guide practice. The Daqing Oilfield was developed based on the philosophical thoughts of Mao Zedong, i.e., On Practice and On Contradictions. Relying on the philosophical thoughts,the management and technology innovationsystem was continuously improved,and the technology management system with Daqing Oilfield characteristics was developed. This paper applies the thoughts of the "Two Theory" in oil production engineering,and analyzes the major challenges and countermeasures for the stable production of 4.0×107 to Daqing Oilfield. The scientific methodology of practice is used to guide the technical schemes and solutions. The "Two Theory" is proved to be effective to guarantee the stable production of 4.0×107 t.
At the turn of this century,China began to undertake the largest scale road and bridge construction in the world,which has virtuously interacted with the social and economic development and has brought the construction technology up to the world advanced level. Looking back to the world transportation development and comparing the road and bridge construction in Europe,USA,Japan and China,the common successful experiences can be obtained as follows: it has become the value orientation for transportation engineering to give the priority to the transportation for economic development;it has become the national strategy and social action to build up great transportation artery;demand and innovation are the driving force to upgrade road and bridge construction technology;management innovation and quality control have upgraded the project construction quality. While rationally recognizing the achievements in the transportation construction of our country,we should review the deep rooted problems with China’s characteristics that have affected construction quality and efficiency;reveal any construction behavior that violates scientific law and extensive management in road and bridge construction and maintenance;probe into the new challenges to strengthen social management and create healthy soft environment.
All of Chinese iron ore reserves are lean ores and the resource utilization is very low. Led by the idea of engineering philosophy and based on technological integration and creation,Ansteel Group established the "five grades ganged" engineering management mode. It views mining and metallurgical engineering, including the geologic,mining,ore blending,concentration and smelting engineering,as a whole and considers the geological,mining,feed,concentrate and charging grades together with objective of the integrated optimization of the overall costs. With the establishment and application of the "five grades ganged" mode,Ansteel Group has solved the lean iron ores exploitation problem and supported the"self-sufficiency-based" resource strategy.

In this paper,in view of the military engineering construction the harmonious management theory,in the perspective of engineering philosophy,at the level of ontology,epistemology and methodology to analyze.
Design,manufacture and maintenance of military fighter engine are particularly a lot more difficult to learn than those of other military aero-engines. Owing to military aero-engine is monopolized by very few countries and its core technology is never transferred, it features high risk,high investment,high barrier and high cost. Currently,design and manufacture of military aero-engine in China have not reached the level of independent research and development,instead,the method of long-term dependence on copying or importing others' military engine is adopted to meet the needs. However,after over twenty years of unremitting efforts of some domestic enterprise,Chinese all fighter engines including engines powered in designing aircraft have completely achieved the level of independent maintenance,whose maintenance technology, ability,quality, efficiency and cost have reached or surpassed those of importing nations,with a change developing from nothing and an improvement from weak to strong. In particular, more than ten projects concerning research and development of remanufacturing technology and the engineering application with the feature of independent intellectual property rights have promoted leapfrog improvement of Chinese military aero-engine independent maintenance level,whose function cannot be substituted.
The vigorous development of urban rail transit in China is important strategies for implementing urbanization and sustainability development. The core theme of sustainability of urban rail transit development is transit oriented development (TOD), through which together with resource integration to greatly activate and create the positive potentials of rail and urban development. For achieving the sustained win-win goals, we need to have a creative management and technology system with which to allocate resources optimally and to attract private funds to invest,build and operate urban rail transit systems. By looking into the "railway+property" experience of Hong Kong, the key sustainability issues of urban rail transit development in China are discussed in this paper, taking the TOD study of Shenzhen Metro Line 6 as an example. It is to explore the sustainable development model of transit oriented new town development and through this to finance the rail development.
The research did in-depth analysis on the strategic planning of the construction of "Two-Oriented Society" and ecological civilization made by the 18th CPC National Congress, elaborated the internal connections between the construction of ecological civilization and " Two-Oriented Society", described the practice and achievements of promoting the construction of ecological civilization using "Two-Oriented Society" as the main focus in the Comprehensive Coordinated Reform Trial Areas of the"Two-Oriented Society "in Chang-Zhu-Tan City Cluster. Based on this, the research pointed out structural and institutional obstacles and problems in further promoting the construction of "Two-Oriented Society" and ecological civilization. Finally,focusing on reform and innovation,the research provided suggestions to deepen the reform of the construction of "Two-Oriented Society" and ecological civilization in four aspects,such as dividend of institution,dividend of nomocracy, dividend of development and dividend of market.
Engineering as a activity which people change nature and construction of artificial nature, has multidimensional attributes which include: stage, integrity, dynamics, contradictoriness, innovation, openness, humanity, risk, ethics and value. The research of the engineering,we should inspect the multidimensional attributes of engineering,and devote to explain in philosophical. So, people can understand and engage in engineering activities better than before.
Micro-ethics in engineering focuses on engineers' personal responsibility and professional ethics, while the rapid development of science and technology stimulates the extensively double spiral between project creation and social development, but the impact of engineering on human and nature shows a runaway trend. Therefore, it is imperative to construct macro-ethics in engineering panoramically from the perspective of engineering community groups. This transformation from micro-ethics to macro-ethics includes four aspects: the relationship between overall project and society;engineers' professional responsibility in a broader, social context; the influence of engineering decision-making in sociopolitical level; the effort of providing high- quality and sustainable environment for future generations. This will be helpful for engineers to put the codes of ethics about using their knowledge and skills to promote human welfare into practice, and for making engineering meet human's "near by" expectation and "far vision" concern.
The theory research of engineering management in China always follows the idea of western project management knowledge system. There is lack of the logic and structured theory system with local characteristics, which needs to be closely analyzed and studied. This paper establishes the engineering management theory system conceptual model,which is the "tree" model,according to the scientific constructing methods abide by the logic process from abstract to concrete. The "tree" model organically links the basic theory,main theory and applied theory, vividly embodies the interactive relationship between theory research and practice,theory development and environment, and has the characteristic of opening,moving and developing.
