摘要

This paper contends that there is a strongrnrelationship between disciplined thought by thernindividual and the system engineering process. Thernpaper explores this relationship by discussing ideas onrnhow people think and illustrating by analogy therncloseness of this activity to that of system engineering.rnThe significance of this is that if individuals performrndisciplined reflective thinking in a systematic mannerrnthen as a collective whole they are more naturallyrninclined to follow the general principles of good systemrnengineering practice.
