Guided by the strategy of building a strong country in transportation, transportation colleges and universities should adapt to the needs of the country"s economic and social development, give full play to the school"s advantages in running schools, and conduct specialized training for postgraduates in architecture to meet the needs of high-quality international talents in my country"s transportation construction. A survey of the training programs of architecture graduate students in six domestic transportation institutions found that theoretical courses and design internships seldom explored the problems of transportation construction, international education limited by the school system and student status management was not systematic and characteristic, research and practice did not combine the cutting-edge issues of transportation construction and lacked of innovation. Therefore, combining the requirements of the high-quality training of postgraduates and the strategy of building a strong transportation country, and on the basis of in-depth analysis of relevant domestic and foreign research, under the strategy of Strengthening the country by transportation, the characteristic cultivation mechanism of architecture graduate students in transportation colleges has been proposed——construct a multi-disciplinary, theoretical and practical graduate course system; establish a postgraduate training mechanism for collaborative education of government, industry, university and research; adhere to an international joint training mechanism emphasizing both "bringing in" and "going out". This is of great significance to the characteristic cultivation of architecture graduate students in my country"s transportation colleges.
