On the competence and growth path of distinguished engineers:An analysis on the samples of National Engineer Award winners
Distinguished engineers are an important component of the national strategic talent force,which is of great significance for accelerating sci-tech self-reliance and self-strengthening at higher levels and building a world scientific and technological powerhouse.Based on the analysis of the first National Engineer Award winners,this paper conducts a portrait analysis of the characteristics,abilities,and growth paths of the group to explore the common growth patterns of the engineer community.It is found that advanced engineering technical knowledge and skills are prerequisite for outstanding engineers,exploring and solving practical engineering technical problems are their mission,scientific research and innovation capabilities are their foundation,and they are driven by national needs and the industrial development.Their growths stem from full career development learning,collaborative research of task teams,and dedicated research towards breakthroughs in key technology areas.Based on these findings this paper deeply analyzes the problems existing in the current training of outstanding engineers in China and proposes some suggestions.
