The training of Master of Engineering, a major partof professional degree graduate education, should base on cultivating advanced talentswith innovation ability, theoretical knowledge, practical operating techniques andadvanced management capabilities. So it should be given more attention.The thesis set up an interdisciplinary perspective. A comparative study wasconducted concerning Master of Engineering between our country and American whichhas a relatively long history and a mature system, from several aspects such asdevelopment history, training objectives, training model, the curriculum, the paper. Thepaper analyzed systematically the current situation of Master of Engineering education inChina and in the United States. Then an in-depth analysis of the similarities anddifferences between the two countries in training education was conducted. Referring tosome useful experience of U.S. Master of Engineering training, the followingconclusions were drawn through the analysis of literature. With regards to the enrollment,it is necessary to reinforce the publicity efforts, expand the recruits throughmulti-channel and integrate teaching resources by giving full play to their own advantages so as to achieve the breakthrough and innovation in the entrance examinationcontent.
