On View of Risk Engineering
MENG Hong-wei
Abstract：The traditional view of engineering pays more attention on the goal of “creation”, and the process of the“creation” has always been ignored. It also holds the indifferent attitude for the subject of engineering, and this result is caused by the “investment-income” mode of thinking and ideas of instrumental rationality. In line with the revelation of risk society theory, this paper proposes the thought of risk engineering, indicating the study that modern engineering should transcend the conventional model, which more considers the factor of economics, to strengthen the value of “human” in engineering process of concern, and hold cautious attitude for technology applications in project process.
