With the development of the times,postgraduate education has been transformed from the previous"unified requirements"to"individualized teaching".For engineering and technology postgraduate students,training and improving their innovation ability based on classified training mode can better achieve personalized training objectives,enhance the employment competitiveness of postgraduate students,promote the deep integration of industry,university and research,and meet the needs of building an innovative-oriented country.However,under the classified training mode,there are still some problems such as fuzzy training objectives,disconnection between education contents and practices,absence of tutors,and low training efficiency,which lead to poor quality of postgraduate education.Therefore,based on clarifying the connotation of postgraduate innovation ability,it is necessary to further clarify the training objectives of professional and academic postgraduate students,adjust the teaching contents,optimize the structure of tutors,establish and improve the elimination mechanism,build a more scientific and reasonable classified training model for postgraduate students,and constantly improve the training quality and employment competitiveness of postgraduate students.Thus,it can meet the demand for applied innovative talents for engineering and technology majors in modern society.
