The Cultivation of Competent Engineering Majors Oriented by Industrial Demand

Abstract

Most majors in Harbin University of Science and Technology are engineering ones. But in higher engineering education of the university several years ago, there were such internal problems as outmoded educational ideas and modes, unbalanced courses offered, less close cooperation with entertainments, weak links in practice, and less internationalized development. To solve these problems, by the inquiry and analysis in some important and hot industries of northeastern old industrial base, HUST have made a series of reforms on her engineering education recently to reconstruct higher engineering education’s talents-training ideas, to implement creative education, to consolidate students’ engineering practice, to advance further coordination between industries, university and research centers, and to advocate internationalized ways. After four-year practice, the effects are perfect.
