系統理論認為真實世界是由物件（Object）、事件（Event)與關連（Relation）所組成，透過系統理論的協助可以有效的解構複雜環境問題的時間與空間架構以及互動關係，因此藉由系統思維與數學工具的協助，各種複雜的環境決策與環境管理問題將可被有效解決。本課程介紹環境系統工程的各項決策工具，並以書報閱讀、分組討論與專題實習的方式，使同學了解這些系統決策工具的應用方式，以及如何系統性的解決環境工程與管理問題。

System theory believes that the real world is composed of objects, events and relationships. Through the assistance of system theory, the time and space structure and interaction relationships of complex environmental problems can be effectively solved. Therefore, with the assistance of system thinking and mathematical tools, various complex environmental decision-making and environmental management problems will be effectively solved. This course introduces various decision tools in environmental system engineering, and uses book reading, group discussion and topical practices to enable students to understand how these system decision tools are applied and how to systematically solve environmental engineering and management problems.
