Engineering Science: Developmental History, Definition and Roles

Abstract:

Engineering science is bridge of fundamental science and engineering. This paper introduces origin, growth and figuration of engineering science by examining its history, and defines it as science-based engineering theory, or science-abstracted engineering theory by comparing concepts related. Finally, roles, which engineering science play for a nation, are discussed including increasing productivity, providing solutions for national security, and advancing science and technology. The authors suggest more recognition of fundamental science, talent cultivation from Chinese perspective.
