Reform Practice Based on the Concept of CDIO in Mechanical Engineering Professional Degree Postgraduate Education

In order to train application-oriented and compound engineering talents, college of mechanical engineering, Yanshan University, attempt to attach the concept of CDIO great importance on the project practice into professional degree postgraduate education. The paper introduce mechanical engineering professional degree graduate education practice from the cultivating scheme, course system, cultivating mode, practice base and teaching staff construction and etc.. To strengthen the innovation consciousness and practice ability and embody discipline characteristic, the cultivating scheme is revised; with professional skill and engineering practice ability as the guidance, the curriculum system with the discipline characteristic is build; the concrete measures of the teaching staff and engineering practice ability training environment construction are proposed; and the follow-up work plan as the professional degree graduate dissertation diversification, construction of teaching material system and case database are also put forward. This paper explores the CDIO engineering education idea in solving the role of practical problems in professional degree graduate student cultivating mode reform, which can provide certain reference to the cultivation of practical engineering masters under new requirements.
