Mutual Integration of Higher Vocational Education and Higher Engineering Education:Basis and Approach——based on the Description of Engineer Image
Higher vocational education and higher engineering education should be integrated with each other to collaboratively cultivate engineers.Through an analysis of the talent cultivating programs of 10 higher vocational colleges and ordinary undergraduate universities,it was found that the knowledge,skills,quality and talents positioning of engineers cultivated by higher vocational education and higher engi-neering education are intrinsically related,which provides a basis for the integration of the two.In order to further promote the process of integration between vocational education and general education and build a high-quality engineering education system,the two should accelerate overall planning and collaborative in-novation.Specifically,an interdisciplinary research mechanism should be established to expand the prob-lem framework of engineering education research,a classification training system for engineers should be constructed to optimize the overall effectiveness of the engineering education system,a digital integration development mechanism should be innovated to create a continuously adaptable ecological symbiosis net-work.
