He expressed his hope that under the leadership of the Engineering Construction Management Committee, it will continue to promote the theoretical research and practical exploration of neural engineering management, build a more open and forward-looking academic exchange platform, promote the in-depth integration of multidisciplinary, and help to improve the overall level of China's engineering construction management, and provide theoretical and practical support for the further consolidation of China's engineering advantages.
Speech by Mr. Li Kaimeng, Chairman of the Board of Directors
Professor Ye Gui of Chongqing University, co-initiator of Neural Engineering Management and chairman of Engineering Construction Management Professional Committee of China Society for Technical Economics, pointed out in his speech that the current engineering management industry is in a critical stage of deep adjustment and change and integration, and there is an urgent need to develop new theoretical paths and practical paradigms. He emphasized that, as an emerging cross-cutting field integrating neuroscience and engineering management, from the results of the last three years, this direction is becoming a new hotspot and a new growth point in China's engineering management discipline, and is expected to become a new growth point of the international leading research, which provides new theoretical basis and methodology for the understanding and real realization of "human-centered" engineering and cities. It is expected to become a new growth point of international leading research, providing a new theoretical foundation and methodology for understanding and realizing "human-centered" engineering and cities. He expects that the members of the committee will continue to promote the concept of "Engineering Management Community of Happiness", actively embrace the cutting-edge direction of Neuroengineering Management, and work together to promote the improvement of the theoretical system of "human-centered" engineering management, combining with the traditional Chinese concept of "the unity of heaven and man" and "the integration of heaven and mankind". Combined with China's traditional cultural advantages such as "unity of heaven and mankind", the committee will gradually promote the improvement of engineering and city management theory system in Chinese context, and realize the construction of happy buildings and happy cities.
Speech by Prof. Ye Gui
Subsequently, Prof. Ma Qingguo, academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, chairman of the Neuroeconomic Management Committee of the Chinese Society of Technological Economics and founder of neuromanagement, Li Kaimeng, chairman of the Chinese Society of Technological Economics, Prof. Shen Liyin, founding chairman of the Chinese Society of Construction Management Research, Prof. Li Heng, Chair Professor of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Prof. Jiang Bin of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, theSchool of Civil Engineering, Southeast UniversityProf. Dezhi Li, Prof. Gui Ye, Chongqing University, Prof. Weijong Lu, Harbin Institute of Technology, Prof. Jian Zuo.School of Civil Engineering, Southeast UniversityProf. Yuan Jingfeng delivered keynote reports on the morning of June 21 and 22, respectively, focusing on the cutting-edge topics of engineering construction management, neural engineering management and intelligent construction, sharing the latest research results and academic insights in their respective fields, and promoting in-depth exchanges of multidisciplinary cross-fertilization and theoretical innovation.
During the conference, experts and scholars focused on the theme of "Neuroengineering Management in the Era of Artificial Intelligence", and discussed in depth the human behavioral mechanism, cognitive characteristics and decision-making logic in the practice of engineering management, focusing on the potentials and paths of neural technologies, such as electroencephalography, ocular motility, and near-infrared technology, in revealing the process of human factors. As an interdisciplinary frontier exploration, Neuroengineering Management is providing new ideas for the innovation of management paradigm and optimization of engineering practice. 12 sub-forums were set up in the afternoon of June 21, covering the forms of parallel keynote presentations, thematic sub-forums, and forums for graduate students of doctoral and master's degree programs, with a total of more than 130 presentations covering key topics such as engineering psychology, human-computer interaction, safety management, intelligent construction and people-centered construction, and so on. The content covered many key topics such as engineering psychology, human-machine interaction, safety management, intelligent construction, human-centered construction, etc.
In order to further support the growth of young innovative talents, Beijing 恒挚 Technology Co., Ltd, the co-organizer of the conference, supported the establishment of the "Third Neuroengineering Management Research and Innovation Fund", and organized experts to select the scientific research level and potential of the presenters of the Postgraduate Forum. Fourteen master and doctoral students from 11 universities in China were finally selected for funding based on the scientific and innovative nature of their research content and its compatibility with the theme of neuroengineering management. The establishment and continuous promotion of this fund will stimulate young scholars to carry out original research in the field of divine cross-fertilization and cultivate the backbone of the future development of neuroengineering management.
