    Abstract:

    To cope with the needs and challenges of the Fourth Industry Revolution, MIT initiates the fourth engineering education transformation (MIT4.0), which can also be called New Engineering Education Transformation, NEET; the alliance of excellent colleges proposes Engineering Education Integration Innovation, EEII. Contents of NEET include six parts: project centric curricular, various pedagogies, flexibility, ways of thinking, building on the departments’ strengths and defining the engineering education of the future. EEII has several parts including the development strategy of China’s engineering education facing the Fourth Industrial Revolution, reconstructing the governance system of China’s engineering education, the shift of paradigm of engineering education from returning of engineering education to integration and innovation, implementation of engineering talent training mode based on industrial value chain, building a new knowledge system and a curriculum system facing engineering process, construction strategy of quality standard system of engineering talents training, etc. From the perspective of eight elements of engineering education, this study compares the differences and similarities of NEET and EEII. This study finds MIT realizes its new engineering education by transformative behavior, a connective one. And we need integration and innovation, to realize new engineering education which is “corner overtaking”, a jumping behavior.
