Abstract
ABSTRACT The author’s reply to David Elms welcomes the supportive comments and offers a visualisation of the body of knowledge required of a systems engineer, building on the ‘T-shaped' person construct. The systems engineer requires a series of pillars of deep domain knowledge, acquired throughout a lifetime of experience, with serial capstones representing the synthesis and integration of that knowledge. Many of the capstones should be from the distant territories of ‘liberal arts' – leading to ‘Stonehenge-shaped people'.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the advancement of systems thinking and systems techniques throughout systems engineering, environmental engineering decision-making, and engineering management. We do this by publishing the practical applications and developments of "hard" and "soft" systems techniques and thinking.
Submissions that allow for better analysis of civil engineering and environmental systems might look at:
-Civil Engineering optimization
-Risk assessment in engineering
-Civil engineering decision analysis
-System identification in engineering
-Civil engineering numerical simulation
-Uncertainty modelling in engineering
-Qualitative modelling of complex engineering systems
