摘要

The current education model and practices in the Higher education sector in China have been successful in educating students for academic excellence, for producing industry-linked and practice-oriented graduates, who could quickly fit into the industrial working environment, has been a problem. There is a big gap between the theoretical knowledge learned in school and the practical knowledge and skills needed in the industry. National Pilot School of Software (NPSS) at Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) has started to explore the way to reform the current education system since 2002. Over the nine years practices HIT-NPSS has developed a gradually industrialization education model with industryoriented curricula and some best practices. The software engineering education model which became a factual instance in education reforming for universities, and also an answer for the Excellent Engineer Plan of State Ministry of Education in China.
