Study On Higher Engineering Education Of China Based On The Development Of Emerging Strategic Industries

With the explosion of international financial crisis, new technological revolution and Industrial Revolution are brought out. As an important promotive chance of a power, developing emerging industries of strategic importance and grading the commanding heights of technology and economy would decide the future of country.Though, as the origin of the development of technology and economy, higher engineering education faces a new challenge. Economic globalization makes the influence on modern society speeding up unexpectedly. The growth of the strategic new industry promotes the globalization and industrial transformation, at the same time, pushes the reformation and development of the higher engineering education. In China, for researching, marketing, selling, purchasing, serving business and so on in all parts of the world, multinational corporations and large scale state-owned enterprises urgently need numerous outstanding engineering talents. It brings unprecedented opportunities for the engineering education in China, but simultaneously, the problems are following. Emerging industries of strategic importance makes China face the pressure of reforming the industries into service-oriented, knowledge-intensive and creative-oriented ones. This is a huge challenge for the past engineering education which mainly aimed at training techniques and skill oriented talents.Based on the recognition above, this article analyzes existing problems in our higher engineering education from training aims, majors, curriculum setting, practice and engineering abilities of teacher. With the demand of emerging industries of strategic importance, this article offers countermeasure and suggestions for the optimization of our higher engineering education mode. Standing in the historic turning point, whether our engineering education learns foreign experience, takes the essence and discard the dregs will determine the raise of the overall national strength and international competition.
