Development and practice on cultivation of graduate students in optical engineering

Abstract

We provide an overview of the development and current structure for cultivating the success of graduate student in Optical Engineering at Beijing University of Technology. Using the educational environment for graduate students in Advanced Laser Manufacturing as an example, we present the environment, the curriculum and some specific programs which demonstrate a multifaceted strategy combining production, study and research, including international cooperation, applications engineering and technology-based research. The programs are tightly linked to the national economic goals and specifically to development of the manufacturing industry which has a critical need for highly skilled and motivated graduates.
