Research and practice on the cultivation mode of compound mainframe software talents with engineering practice background

According to the readjustment of national industrial structure, the demand for talents on mainframe and strong profession in mainframe applications, Dalian Jiaotong University, taking advantage of our own Cultivation, combines mainframe technology with our school compound dual professional software talents training model. Meanwhile, with an integrated curriculum teaching methods and integration process and associating with relevant courses, we build a mode of curriculum chain so that students can master the knowledge about relationships among all courses, and solve synthesis problems. We focus on applying structures "Platform + Module" in the course structure, designing rational course modules, and strengthening capacity-building. Meanwhile, we have long-term cooperation with IBM and others' mainframe industry's well-known enterprises at home and abroad, and invite teachers with background of engineering practice into the classroom, and build a practice base with company. With the purpose of enhancing students engineering training and designing capacity-building, we focus on building teaching and training system of "learning by doing" that requires engineering practice background in engineering compound mainframe software talents. It has been proved that this new compound mainframe training mode can meet the requirement of social development, and continuously improve the school's quality and effectively enhance students' practical applications ability. © 2010 IEEE.
