Research On The Training Objectives & Approaches Of Talents In The Model Software Engineering Colleges

Nowadays the science and technology are developing rapidly, which is closely related to the fierce competition of national powers among countries. IT industry is the foundation of a nation as well as an essential component of high-tech industries. As an outstanding representative of new productivity, IT technology and industry is the main driving power for economic improvement, also an important symbol for measuring modernization and comprehensive power of a nation. Software industry is the core of IT industry. In order to meet the requirement of the strategic adjustment of our national economic structure, to satisfy the great need for talents with the development of software industry and realize the breakthrough in developing our national software talents, our country approved to establish 35 national model software colleges in Dec. 2001. The national model software college is a brand-new field in higher education reform. It's directed by the reform of talents development pattern, which demands getting rid of the bondage of traditional academy-like school-running concepts and taking a path of running school in the cooperation of schools and enterprises, aiming at advanced IT market. The goal of the model software college is to cultivate software Golden-Collars. Golden-Collars are the top talents with creative thoughts and innovative characters, armed with high abilities of speaking and reading in foreign languages, as well as rich knowledge of communication skills and foreign cultures. The Golden-Collars are also comprehensive talents. Bilingual teaching practice and engineering practice are main approaches towards the aim of the model software college. The bilingual teaching could be divided into broad and narrow senses, and the latter is to be discussed. The four necessities are considered here: (1) English has been in common currency throughout national organizations. (2) English is the language for software platforms. (3) It is required by the internationalization of China. (4) It is needed to realize the countermeasure of the model software college. And at the meantime, it's important to handle three relationships carefully. Engineering practice of software engineering major has features of its own, and enterprises, colleges and students could benefit from them if they are well used. Project practice is the basis of the engineering practice, and the introduction of engineering practice two-way choosing system and engineering practice salary stimulation provide a strong guarantee for it. Researches show that bilingual teaching and engineering practice are effective ways to realize the software college's cultivating goal and a spring to develop the core competitive capacity of software talents. Only by brewing the new ideas of engineer practice, opening up the new channel of engineering practice and exploring the new method of engineering practice, could Software college ensure the high quality of software talents and follow the fast steps of the IT industry without being defeated.
