China News Online, April 24 (Reporter Xu Jing) The Institute of Systems Engineering at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. On April 20, as one of the series of activities celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Institute of Systems Engineering of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, the opening ceremony of the first Shanghai International Young Scholars Forum and the Shanghai University International Young Scholars Forum (System Science Session) was held in Shanghai for Science and Technology University Graphic Information Center held.
The Institute of Systems Engineering of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology is the earliest system engineering department and system engineering research institute established in China. On the occasion of its establishment in 1979, the famous Chinese scientist Qian Xuesen attended the inaugural meeting and delivered an important speech. For 40 years, teachers and researchers in the field of system science at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, under the care of the older generation of scientists such as Qian Xuesen, have focused on the development and application of system science, forge ahead, overcome difficulties, and focus on discipline development and talent training. Get excellent results.
Wu Qidi, former vice minister of the Ministry of Education and director of the Management Science Department of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Wang Enduo, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Yongzhi, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, Wang Xiaofan, vice president of Shanghai University and Yangtze River scholar of the Ministry of Education, Li Dengfeng, Yangtze River scholar of the Ministry of Education , Professor Wang Binghong of the University of Science and Technology of China, Yu Yingchuan, Chairman of the Shanghai System Engineering Society, and more than 60 domestic and foreign guests, experts and scholars from the Netherlands, Italy, and Singapore attended the opening ceremony.
Che Hongan, the founder of system science at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, has been in this field for 40 to 50 years. Recently, he told seven short stories about Qian Xuesen’s assistance to Shanghai Polytechnic to establish system science.
“Our school’s system engineering and system science professional construction has always been strongly supported and enthusiastically taught by Mr. Qian Xuesen. Since 1979, I have had direct contact with Qian Lao seven times, which is unforgettable so far.” Che Hongan said .
In 1979, when Che Hongan first dealt with Qian Lao, he talked with him about the system engineering science system for more than two hours. In November of the same year, Qian Xuesen came to the work report of Shangli and clearly stated for the first time that automatic control is not Engaging in systems engineering, because systems engineering must consider human factors, our housekeeping skills for automatic control are one to build mathematical models and the other is simulation. As far as I know, up to now, the models built by our automatic control have not been able to integrate human Factors are put in. Therefore, we are very welcome to engage in automatic control to do system engineering together, but the point of view that doing automatic control is not equal to doing system engineering; since then, Che Hongan and Qian Lao have had the third and fourth times. During this period, with the support of Qian Lao, the system engineering major was included in the national college admissions catalog.
Che Hongan remembers clearly that Qian Lao’s fifth help to the science and engineering discipline was his affirmation of the achievements of the science and engineering system engineering for ten years; in 2001, Che Hongan invited Wen Wei Po to visit Beijing to interview Qian Lao. , The article published on March 20, 2001 is the most important document for the development of systems engineering and system science in China.
Che Hongan said that the historical significance of this article is: first, this is the last article of Qian Lao’s life that comprehensively elaborates the development of system science; second, it clearly highlights the core of Qian Xuesen’s system science thinking-the human factor ; Third, it clearly points out the course and future direction of China’s development of system science: “We Chinese scientists start from systems engineering and system science, and then create the Dacheng Wisdom Project and Dacheng Wisdom Studies will be successful in the 21st century.”
In January 2005, the Institute of Systems Science and Systems Engineering of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology united with national superior forces to form the Shanghai Institute of Systems Science. At the establishment meeting, Mr. Qian sent a congratulatory letter and asked his son Qian Yonggang to convey his passage words. Qian Yonggang said that Mr. Qian appreciated the research institute’s efforts to unite national superior forces very much. Mr. Qian also said: “Unifying national superior forces means not only uniting the strengths of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also the System Engineering Society. The power of scientific research institutes and universities is only the first step towards the whole country. In the future, when conditions are ripe, we will have to go to the world.” Qian Lao also said: “Today’s science is no longer something like natural science, but human understanding is objective. The world, the entire knowledge system that transforms the world. I hope everyone can use such a system to observe, analyze, research and solve problems, not just the knowledge of a few disciplines, or the intersection of these disciplines. If it can, then That’s awesome.”
“Lao Qian congratulates the establishment of the’Shanghai Institute of System Science’ and it is also the seventh time that Qian Lao helped Shanghai Polytechnic establish a system science deal.” Che Hongan said that the Shanghai Institute of System Science has gone since its establishment in January 2005. After 11 years, Qian Lao’s expectations were initially realized.
On the same day, Wu Qidi paid tribute to Che Hongan for his persistence. She said that in the 1970s and 1980s, the system science of the Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering (the predecessor of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology) was at the forefront of the country. I hope that the younger generation will learn from the efforts and persistence of the older generation and continue to make new efforts and contributions in this field.
Subsequently, academician Wang Enduo, Professor Wang Xiaofan, Professor Li Dengfeng, Professor Wang Binghong and other experts gave academic reports respectively. The report was chaired by Gao Yan, the leader of the system disciplines of the School of Management, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology.
Introduced the construction of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology in recent years, especially relying on the three international laboratories of future optics, intelligent manufacturing, medical equipment and rehabilitation engineering and a characteristic platform of system management, which are mainly supported by the construction of high-level universities, and strive to build optical engineering , System science, power engineering and engineering thermophysics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering five first-class disciplines, Ding Xiaodong, president of the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, said that for 40 years, the teachers and researchers in the field of With the care of the older generation of scientists such as Qian Xuesen, centering on the development and application of system science, he is determined to make progress, overcome difficulties, and achieve excellent results in discipline development and talent training. He said that young scholars who are interested in coming to Shanghai for development are warmly welcome to choose the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. We are also happy to send off those scholars who have better development opportunities.
