The education of integrated undergraduate-graduate elite talent cultivation has achieved remarkable progress.However,several issues persist in this system,including an insufficiently smooth management mechanism,a lack of deep integration between undergraduate and graduate education in the cultivation model,an inability of the scientific research and innovation training model to mobilize resources from all aspects,and an overemphasis on academic performance in the selection and elimination mechanism for elite and innovative students.These issues indicate that China's undergraduate-graduate integration is still in the exploratory stage,lacking personalized cultivation and struggling to tailor education to individual students'needs.In response to these challenges,this study takes the elite and innovative undergraduate-graduate integrated program in Communication Engineering at Ningbo University as a case study.A series of reforms and practices have been carried out from the perspectives of the undergraduate-graduate integration management mechanism,cultivation model,scientific research and innovation model,as well as the selection of top students.The practical outcomes have been promising,providing valuable insights and an important reference for further enhancing and implementing the undergraduate-graduate integrated education system.
