Exploration and Research on the Engineering Education Model of "practicing while Teaching with Curriculum Integration"

Abstract

A new engineering education model "Practicing while Teaching with Curriculum Integration"(PTCI) is put forward based on the concept of "Outcomes-based Education"(OBE).This model can solve the paradox that universities pay more attention to theory over practice while enterprises are more interested in talents with strong practical engineering and technical training. In order to have a curriculum covering vocational qualification standard, after setting up the talent training goals, a training program and the relevant curriculum have been established according to the specific vocational graduating requirements and the corresponding vocational qualification certificates. It has been found that the PTCI model is helpful in improving students' ability for engineering applications and in improving the quality of graduates.
