This article aims to answer what I call the “constitution question of engineering modeling”: in virtue of what does an engineering model model its target system? To do so, I will offer a category-theoretic, structuralist account of design, using the olog framework. Drawing on this account, I will conclude that engineering and scientific models are not only cognitively but also representationally indistinguishable. I will finally propose an axiological criterion for distinguishing scientific from engineering modeling.

科学建模与工程建模：异同

本文旨在回答我所谓的“工程建模的宪法问题”：凭借什么工程模型可以对其目标系统进行建模？为此，我将使用olog框架对类别理论，结构主义设计进行介绍。以此为依据，我将得出结论，工程和科学模型不仅在认知上而且在表示上也无法区分。最后，我将提出一个区分科学与工程建模的价值论准则。
