Seeking key focus areas for industry-education integration in the current reform of higher engineering education

Abstract

This study explores the key focus areas of industry-education integration in the current reform of higher engineering education, analyzes the issues in collaborative education between industry and education, and proposes corresponding reform suggestions, providing a theoretical foundation and practical pathway for deepening the reform of higher engineering education and cultivating high-quality engineering talent. The research finds that industry-education integration is insufficiently reflected in university training programs, enterprise participation motivation is weak, and the long-term educational mechanism has not been effectively established. Therefore, the study suggests starting by clarifying the strategic significance of industry-education integration, strengthening practical ability training, restructuring training models, solidifying school-enterprise cooperation, building joint training bases, improving school-enterprise employment mechanisms, constructing excellent dual-teacher teams, and improving internal university assessment and evaluation mechanisms to promote the deep integration of industry and education.
