The experience to develop Provincial Key Undergraduate Program: Engineering quality led education for application-oriented students

摘要

There currently exists a sizeable gap between the qualifications of university graduates and social want. From the perspective that engineering quality constitutes a prerequisite of application-oriented graduates, the concepts of engineering quality, technique, and application-oriented requirements will be discussed in this paper, as well as the relationship between application-oriented education and engineering quality. The discussion introduces changes in educational objectives according to the present reform project in China, and puts forward the proposed methodology: that is, how to arrange classes at the forefront of engineering consciousness. A summary of the practice of developing the Provincial Key Undergraduate Program in advancing Information Management and Information Systems at Zhejiang Wanli University is presented. Our aim in the study is to apply pedagogical theory, engineering philosophy, and systems science toward the teaching and learning practices of universities.
