The training plan for outstanding engineers has accurate positioning, clear training objectives, clear training ideas for practical and international talents, teachers from schools and enterprises, covering universities and enterprises at home and abroad, strong team, comprehensive and feasible training scheme, stable student selection and admission policies and reasonable methods.
The school actively encourages qualified colleges and universities to combine the orientation of running a school, and continue to hold experimental classes of characteristic talent training mode in other majors that meet the requirements of the talent training objectives of the "Excellent Engineer Program" on the basis of the majors approved by the Ministry of Education.
Guided by the needs of industry and society, improve the "cross-compound" talent training model
Relying on the reform of talent training mode under the credit system, students are encouraged to learn across disciplines by offering cross-disciplinary courses. Establish interdisciplinary joint training experimental classes, support qualified colleges to take the lead in piloting, and gradually implement diversified and cross-compound training of "main major N+ auxiliary major X" in mature colleges and universities on the basis of summing up experience.
In order to ensure that students have enough time to study cross-disciplinary courses, policies such as "Northeast University Undergraduate Cross-disciplinary Course Selection and Mutual Recognition of Credits" are issued to promote it, and the course selection system under the guidance of tutors is tried out to realize mutual recognition of certain credits between different courses.
Perfecting the "collaborative innovation" talent training mode
Through the strong alliance between universities and research institutes, universities and internationally renowned academic institutions, we will break through the institutional barriers between universities and external scientific research institutions, explore the talent training mechanism of cooperation, resource sharing and collaborative innovation between universities and institutions, and build an academic highland for scientific research and talent training.
Northeastern University-China Academy of Sciences "Material Science Experimental Class"
It provides advanced teaching ideas, personalized talent training mode, domestic first-class teaching resources and good academic atmosphere for the cultivation of high-quality top-notch innovative talents.
