Abstract:In recent years, with the continuous growth in the number of international graduate students coming to China, international graduate education has become an important part of graduate education, which bears on the effectiveness of universities’ “double first-class” initiative. This paper probes into the characteristics and influencing factors of the interactive relationship among 354 science and engineering international graduate students in “double first-class” universities through a questionnaire based on the interpersonal circle model. It is found that the interactive relationship presents the core characteristics of leadership, and gender, continent, grade and cross-cultural adaptability have significant differences on the relationship. Graduate students have a good satisfaction with the relationship. The relationship characteristics of leadership, helpfulness/friendliness and understanding have a significant positive impact on satisfaction, while the relationship characteristics of dissatisfaction and hesitation have a significant negative impact on satisfaction. The core characteristics of the ideal mentoring relationship are support and respect. It is suggested to strengthen the concept of teacher education and implement the role of whole process education, comprehensively improve the quality and cross-cultural adaptability of international graduates, establish supervision and assessment mechanisms and interactive exchange and sharing platforms to create a harmonious interactive atmosphere.

Abstract:Aiming at the problems in talent training for the intelligent construction specialty in civil engineering， Southwest Jiaotong University， building on its nationally recognized first-class discipline of civil engineering and based on an analysis of the background， trends， and demands of intelligent construction development， proposes that the connotation of intelligent construction talents comprises three aspects： a soil-shaped knowledge structure， core competencies centered on construction as the foundation， and the concept of sustainable development. A talent cultivation objective system for intelligent construction professionals is thus established， encompassing three levels of goals and twelve types of abilities. Furthermore， practical training in talent cultivation has been carried out in the direction of intelligent construction for tunnel engineering. The practice shows that constructing an intelligent construction training system with the coordination of multiple advantageous disciplines， establishing an education mechanism integrating science-education and industry-education， and improving the interdisciplinary curriculum system are necessary ways to deepen the connotation of intelligent construction talents. Further highlighting the training objectives of artificial intelligence literacy and innovation ability， improving teachers’ innovative competence through smart empowerment， and building a new practice-oriented talent training base featured by innovation studios can effectively improve the quality of talent training while achieving the training objectives of intelligent construction professionals. The relevant results can provide references for talent training of intelligent construction specialty in colleges and universities.

To realize the high-quality cultivation of postgraduates in civil engineering, three major problems existing in the current cultivation mode are analyzed, including the disconnection between ideological and political education and professional education, the lag of curriculum system and the superficiality of school-enterprise cooperation. In view of these problems, this paper proposes to construct a specific reform path with integration of ideological and political elements, reconstruction of curriculum system and reform of industry-university integration mechanism as the direction. Moreover, specific implementation suggestions are put forward regarding building a seamless course ideological and political education model, constructing a new interdisciplinary and integrated curriculum system, and establishing a deeply integrated cultivating mechanism between universities and enterprises, so as to provide a practical path for improving the training quality of professional postgraduates in civil engineering.

Abstract:The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and the transformation of China’s economic development mode are in a historic confluence period, which has comprehensively changed the training environment for excellent engineers. In increasingly fierce international competition, excellent engineers have become a key variable affecting the country’s high-level self-reliance in science and technology. In the face of changes and challenges, the construction of an engineer training system for world-class engineers with Chinese characteristics should be accelerated, to cultivate a team of engineers who love the Party and the country, are dedicated, have outstanding technological innovation abilities, and are good at solving complex engineering problems. This paper proposes a school-enterprise joint training model consisting of ideological construction, curriculum system construction, engineering practice and scientific and technological innovation, namely a stepped and integrated “ideology, learning, practice and innovation” training mode, and conducts in-depth research on teaching and practical contents. By deepening industry-education integration and building a school-enterprise cooperation platform, resource combination and allocation optimization are realized, and compound high-quality talents are jointly cultivated in ideological cultivation, curriculum co-construction, engineering innovation and other aspects.

Abstract:A new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is advancing in depth, which urgently requires universities to optimize their discipline settings and talent cultivation models, so as to provide high-quality talent support for the development of new-quality productive forces. Currently, there are issues in talent cultivation such as outdated training models and a disconnect between capacity cultivation and industrial needs. This study draws on the explorations of the building environment and energy application engineering program at China University of Mining and Technology, aiming to serve the national “dual carbon” strategy and the requirements for new quality productive forces. Focusing on the needs of innovative talent cultivation, the program integrates interdisciplinary approaches, and establishes a talent cultivation system driven by low-carbon principles, empowered by digitalization, and characterized by industry-education integration. It has developed an innovative talent cultivation model with “one soul and four forces”, where ideological and political education serves as the core, supported by foundational strength, dynamic momentum, strong assistance, and robust capabilities. Digital teaching is incorporated into every stage of talent cultivation, strengthening the development of engineering practice and innovation capabilities, thereby significantly improving the talent training quality of building environment and energy application engineering.

Abstract:As an important supporting discipline for infrastructure construction and urban development， civil engineering is crucial to accelerating the process of national modernization and enhancing international competitiveness. However， the traditional civil engineering education mode has been difficult to meet the current social demand for high-level and interdisciplinary talents. Based on the concept of integration of science and education， this paper constructs a four-in-one training mode of research-teaching-practice-entrepreneurship for civil engineering postgraduates. Through the science-education collaboration platform， hierarchical training program and policy guarantee mechanism， problems such as disconnection of innovation education and insufficient practice platform in the traditional mode are effectively solved. Empirical data from 2019 to 2023 shows that the average annual growth rate of postgraduates’ SCI/EI papers is 25%， 76 patent applications are filed， and the transformation rate of technological achievements is 35%； the employment rate of graduates in leading enterprises reaches 88%. The research confirms that this mode provides a reproducible paradigm for talent training by connecting national strategies. In the future， it is necessary to deepen interdisciplinary integration and technological innovation to meet the intelligent and sustainable development needs of the industry.

Abstract:To fully implement the education policy of the Communist Party of China, promote the comprehensive development of new engineering graduate students in terms of morality, intelligence, physical education, aesthetics, and labor, and ensure a systematic improvement in the full-cycle cultivation quality of graduate students, a study on the full-cycle quality evaluation system for the cultivation of new engineering graduate students is conducted.

Abstract:In the Internet+ era, digital intelligent teaching with deep online-offline integration has become an important trend in the development of new engineering education in local universities. Subgrade and pavement engineering is a major course of civil engineering (road and bridge) in Hubei Engineering University. To solve the problems of large differences in major basis and lack of learning motivation of students, full classroom teaching and insufficient student participation, and emphasizing teaching over learning, emphasizing knowledge over ability, emphasizing results over process in teaching evaluation, the course team proposes an improved BOPPPS teaching model with deep online-offline integration, and explores the application methods and effectiveness of the BOPPPS teaching model in intelligent teaching in local universities, through empirical research in online-offline blended teaching of subgrade and pavement engineering. The results show that the BOPPPS teaching model emphasizes the central position of students, pays attention to the setting and achievement of outcomes, guides students to actively participate and think, and plays an important role in the intelligent teaching reform. The intelligent teaching reform of subgrade and pavement engineering includes four aspects: the creation of MOOC + SPOC + flipped classroom intelligent teaching environment, the reconstruction of a digital teaching resource library, an intelligent teaching design based on improved BOPPPS teaching model, and the implementation of intelligent teaching evaluation on intelligent teaching platform. The SPOC platform of Xuexitong is used to run through all blended teaching links, online and offline learning data of students are collected in the whole process, which can be used for outcome-based course assessment and goal achievement evaluation. The intelligent teaching application of the BOPPPS teaching model in local universities is conducive to improving the teaching effect, changing the role of teachers, optimizing the teaching evaluation system, and improving the quality of new engineering education.

Abstract:In recent years, social participation has been encouraged in Beijing’s urban regeneration process. While university teaching has been deeply integrated into community construction and played an important leading role, it also faces challenges in defining the connotation of teaching and establishing a sustainable development mechanism. In response, the University–Community–Social Organization (UCSO) urban design teaching program came into being. Oriented toward urban regeneration, the program guides students to complete design practices collaboratively with community residents and social organizations in a real urban context. It innovatively proposes a dual-track interdisciplinary teaching mode to encourage diverse integration and innovative outcomes. By empowering urban regeneration through university design education, the program has built a student-centered teaching mechanism of collaborative education between universities and communities, strengthening the ideological and moral education in design education.

Abstract:The blended teaching method deeply integrates the advantages of MOOCs and traditional classroom education, which is a new mode of engineering talents training in universities. However, in teaching practice, problems such as insufficient student engagement and a sharp decline in course enrollment have emerged. Based on the practice of blended teaching and student questionnaire surveys, the problems and causes of the blended teaching of professional courses are deeply analyzed from the perspective of students. Students are willing to change traditional classroom teaching methods, but the conflict between the excessive time required for self-study and discussion after blended teaching courses and the large number of courses they take affects their willingness to choose blended teaching. Based on the students’ standpoint, some improvement measures are put forward, including optimizing the curriculum teaching arrangement, stimulating students’ internal drive, innovating the curriculum teaching mode, paying attention to backward students and improving teachers’ self-accomplishment.
