Exploration on the reform of mechanical engineering graduates' quality education

Recently, it becomes more and more prominent that the professional practice abilities of graduate students of mechanical engineering disciplines are weak. The reasons why China's manufacturing productivity is extremely low compared with developed countries are analyzed in this paper, the quality of engineers is one of the important reasons. Facing the global financial turmoil, the mechanical engineer certification of manufacturing country should speed up with international standards. The reforms how to improve the quality of mechanical engineer graduates' education are also explored. In the last, we conclude that strengthening cooperation among industries, universities and research institutes can break the bottleneck of basic engineering quality of mechanical engineers, improve the design and production ability engineering graduate students, deliver more qualified personnel for enterprises and promote the work of professional certification of higher engineering education. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
