系统工程是一门组织问题和寻找更好解决方案的学科。这种方法的起源是古老而实用的，在上个世纪变得更加正式。系统工程通常包括组装由不同组件组成的解决方案，以便有效地协同工作，从力学、科学和社会科学中汲取知识，以更好地实现明确的目标。因为很少有问题可以由一个人解决，我们设计的许多系统需要成千上万人的合作和参与，使社会和政治方面成为中心。本文总结了关于系统工程的正规和专业教育及其应用的一些思考，包括一些历史上的成功和对水和环境问题的挑战。也许应用系统工程最重要的一个方面是用一种有助于更有效地讨论和更好地解决问题的方式来组织问题。
Systems engineering is a discipline for organising problems and finding better solutions. The approach is ancient and practical in its origins, and has become more formal in the last century. Systems engineering usually involves assembling solutions that consist of diverse components to work effectively together, drawing from mechanics, science, and social science to better achieve explicit objectives. Because few problems can be solved by one person, many systems we engineer require the cooperation and involvement of thousands or millions of people, making social and political aspects central. This paper summarises some thoughts on formal and professional education for systems engineering and its application, including some historical successes and challenges for water and environmental problems. Perhaps the most single important aspect of applied system engineering is to organise the problem in a way that helps it to be more productively discussed and better solved.
