ME is relative to the competency in the field of engineering on the same level but particularly emphatic on the engineering implementation. Since its foundation the education of ME in China has achieved great success, which enriches the cultivation mode of postgraduate and type of degree, boasts the meaning of milestone in both theory and practice in the education of postgraduate.
