1. graduation project: it aims to test students' ability to solve practical problems by comprehensively applying the theories, knowledge and skills they have learned, and to complete summative independent assignments.

2. Graduation thesis: a meaningful thesis for scientific research and exploration of practical or theoretical problems in a certain professional field.

Second, the direction is different.

1. graduation design: students need to make a design to solve practical problems by comprehensively applying the theory and technology of related courses in this major for a certain topic. The purpose is to summarize and check the students' learning achievements during their school days, including design, calculation, drawing, technical and economic demonstration, rationalization suggestions, etc.

2. Graduation thesis: Students discuss a "narrow-sided problem" in depth and apply some specific knowledge they have learned in the past four years. The result should be to provide useful knowledge or conclusions for solving production practice, scientific inquiry and social management. The way to cultivate students' scientific research ability is to review and apply the specific knowledge they have learned in the past.

Third, the characteristics are different.

1. Graduation design: We should be as close to the actual production and life as possible, pay attention to the teaching performance of the subject, and make the knowledge connect the preceding with the following. On the one hand, it strengthens the original knowledge, on the other hand, it ensures the consistency of knowledge, which helps students to further digest the original knowledge and improve themselves.

2. Graduation thesis: an important means to test students' academic performance in school and an important link to improve teaching quality. College students must finish the task of writing their graduation thesis before graduation. When applying for a degree, you must submit the corresponding thesis, and you can get a degree only after your defense is passed. Whether you want to do a graduation project or a graduation thesis, everyone should correct their attitude.
