中美工程硕士教育培养体系之比较——以机械工程专业为例

我国研究生教育近几年从培养学术型人才转变为培养应用型人才。全日制专业硕士教育规模不断发展壮大,但部分高校针对全日制专业硕士的培养体系尚未建立或完善。通过对中美部分著名高校机械工程专业针对工程硕士所制定的招生要求、培养方案、培养计划、课程体系等方面的研究,总结美国高校在工程硕士培养方面的先进经验,对比中美两国在工程硕士培养体系方面的差异,对我国全日制专业硕士在培养方案、课程体系等方面的完善提出建议与思考。

Comparison of Master of Engineering Education Training System of China and USA in Mechanical Engineering Major

In recent years, the focus of postgraduate education in China has shifted from training academic talents to training applied talents. Despite the continuous growth in full-time professional postgraduate education, the system of training full-time professional postgraduates in some colleges and universities are not established or perfect. This paper compares mechanical en gineering in some famous universities of China and the U. S. in terms of admission requirements, training schemes, and curric ular systems in an attempt to summarize America＇ s advanced experience in training engineering postgraduates and compare the differences in training engineering postgraduates of the two countries. This paper aims to put forward some suggestion on how to improve the training system and curricular system for training full-time professional postgraduates in China.
