Features: The promotion and application of systems engineering have permeated all departments of society, and the term "systems engineering" has become one of the most frequently used scientific and technological terms. The publication of On Systems Engineering (New Century Edition) will meet the needs of a broad readership. The authors of this book are a group, as it includes articles co-authored by Qian Xuesen with others, as well as other articles included in accordance with Qian Xuesen's wishes. During the editing of On Systems Engineering (Revised Edition), the formatting of the book was determined according to Qian Xuesen's opinions. Therefore, when the New Century Edition was published, only corrections were made to textual errors, and the writing time and sources of each article were noted, while other changes were not made to preserve the original style of the book. During the editing process of On Systems Engineering (New Century Edition), eight additional articles by Qian Xuesen from this period were newly collected. It was decided to include these eight articles in On Systems Engineering (New Century Edition) to more comprehensively reflect the work of the systems science community, represented by Qian Xuesen, during this period.
