A Survey on the Engineering Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Education Based on Engineering with a Big E

Some questions exist in the development of Chinese engineering interdisciplinary postgraduate education, such as little attention to the guidelines on engineering education, lack of practice-oriented engineering training, loose cooperation between school and enterprise, little attention to the cultivation of students' innovation ability. Engineering with a Big E emphasizes integration of knowledge and practice, creativeness and system on engineering, which provides an important basis for exploring engineering interdisciplinary graduate education in our country. The discussion on engineering interdisciplinary graduate education is based on the idea of Engineering with a Big E, which is aimed at making engineering interdisciplinary postgraduate students face complex engineering environment based on the theoretical study and become a creative person in the work of engineering practice with high ability and quality. As a high-level engineering and technological person, the engineering interdisciplinary postgraduate students are required to play a greater role in the progress of society.
