Abstract: This paper puts forward the view that engineering management is an exoteric system, and abstracts it into an information system or an information channel. It abstracts the material and energy flow of the engineering management system into an information flow as well, and then uses the theory of information entropy to analyse the risks in engineering construction.

Keywords: engineering management; information entropy; engineering construction; risk assessment.
