Research on the cultivation of innovative and creative thinking for science and technology

Conference Proceedings Citation Index1 Current situation and analysis of Engineering Education inChinaAs a big country supplying huge of number of engineers, the problems still exists in the cultivation of the engineering education as disconnection between aims and requirements of society and enterprise. The other problems are including the single training mode, the old content of engineering education, the lack of practical experience, which induce the weakening of engineering practice and the lack of innovation.Different types of engineering colleges should have their own highlights and emphasis in the training of engineering talents. For instance, the main objectives of research institutes are to cultivate technical development engineering in technology and science research. In addition, teaching institutions should be the main target of the design engineers and engineers who are engaged in engineering technology development and application. Local colleges and universities should be based on the their own advantages, the characteristics of the students and the needs of the region to carry out the positioning for training service engineers, production engineers and design engineers as the main target.2 cultivating path of Science and technology engineeringtalents in local colleges and universitiesFirstly, the advantages of science and technology personnel training in local colleges should be based on the local, to establish the major strategic requirements of the local economic development, strengthen the professional regional service function. Secondly, the students in the local colleges and universities are mainly from the same region with relatively high degree of attention to the local talent demand, and high degree of recognition of the selected professional, which makes the process of training more easily with the future work positioning and development direction. The direction and training process of science and technology engineering talents in local colleges and universities should be reflected in the practice and innovation, especially the choice and optimization of path.(1)Update the engineering and technical personnel training objectives and training specifications according to practice and innovation abilityThe practical and innovation ability of the engineer is the important guarantee of the new ideas and the implementation of the solution. With the trend of globalization and the need to build an innovative country, the requirements of the engineers in the two aspects are more and more urgent.Training the practical ability of engineering is to conduct the students carry out the actual project in a real engineering environment, in the process of which accumulation and enhance the knowledge is fi nished. Innovation is a kind of process which is characterized by new thinking, new inventions and new description. It has three meanings including updating, creating and changing. In the process of the cultivation of science and technology engineering talents, innovation is not only the ability of cultivating object, but also the content of innovation. Therefore, the training of science and technology engineering in local colleges should transform from traditional subject oriented to the practice and innovation ability oriented with aims and specifications focus on practical and innovative ability.(2) enrich and innovate the teaching content of Engineering Education with the target to build the project systemIn the future, the requirements for qualified engineer are including not only engineering technology, but also the ability to innovate and understanding multicultural and international communication, which has been far beyond the engineering itself. Thus, future engineers need to accurately understand their role in society, and to fuse the knowledge of engineer to the situation of science, environment and society. It is demonstrated that qualifi ed talents cannot be cultivated in relative reserved environment. The traditional contents of engineering education emphasize on the transfer of knowledge, deep theory, sallow practice, emphasizing the teaching outline and teaching material, which make the creative education lose its characteristics, limit the creativity of teachers and students, and cannot meet the needs of modern engineering education. Therefore, reformation of the teaching contents of engineer education is unavoidable.Reform of education and teaching content can realize from multi-direction such as propose contents with particularity ofResearch on the cultivation of innovative and creativethinking for science and technology talents in localengineering colleges and UniversitiesCao Zhi( College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Hebei University )Abstract: The direct target of engineering education is to cultivate engineers and industry leaders with the qualifi ed skills and strong competencies. To cultivate skilled technological talents in a local engineering college, the fi rst subject is to establish the discipline according to the major strategy of the local economic development requirements, so that the professional regional service function is relatively strong. Secondly, the individual work orientation and development direction are considered as well in the cultivated process. These aspects are required such as renewing education idea, strengthening the education of humanity quality, perfecting the system of continuing education, establishing the mechanism of lifelong learning.Key words: engineeringtechnological talents in local colleges and universities; innovative thinking; cultivation— 70 —International Journal of Technology Managementtimes and reformed organization method. The most basic concept for engineering education is to conduct the students carry out the actual project in a real engineering environment, in the process of which accumulation and enhance the knowledge is fi nished. The choice and use of the project is very important in the process of engineering education, and it also requires students to create new products and new thinking in all kinds of projects. Therefore, local colleges and universities of engineering science and technology talent cultivation can be set within the local advantage of numerous colleges and universities, to build the project knowledge system as the goal, constantly enrich and innovation engineering education teaching content, and realize the regional engineering education resource sharing.(3) To construct the “excellent engineer” education system as the aim, reform teaching and learning of engineering education “the application in enterprise is not available in nowadays teaching system, and teaching content is no meaning for enterprise” this is a common phenomenon in current engineering education training. Teacher’s purpose is to complete the teaching mission, and student’s purpose is to pass the exam. In such purposes of teaching program, the quality of the graduates can be imaged. Continuous learning ability, information search, problem determination, cooperation and communication ability, etc should be obtained through active training process in engineering education, which can not only rely on simple answer and question, teaching and learning, so engineering education teaching methods must be reformed.Foreign outstanding university engineering often applies a variety of teaching ways such as the cooperative teaching, project teaching, problem-based teaching education, and “excellent engineers training plan” of China’s current obeys the law of engineering ability training research learning methods, the core idea of which is to emphasize form of interaction between teachers and students. Through cooperation, students will learn knowledge combined with the research question. These teaching methods is based on the concept of “take the student as the main body” that emphasizes the students as the subjects of education during the process of teaching and learning all the time, rather than the objects or passive recipients. They also emphasized in the teaching process of middle school students are active learners, participants and collaborators, and emphasizes the formation of mutual cooperation and communication between teacher and students interactive learning environment. The breakthrough point of the local colleges for engineering education method reform should be to create a “excellent engineer” as the vision through the concept of the active learning, active practice, combination of learning and practice, which constantly improve and enrich the existing teaching method, on the basis of improved continuous innovation.Excellence does not mean beyond others but no matter how diffi cult conditions can produce the pursuit of the highest realm. Because of the common learning objectives (to become excellent engineer) and the common learning conditions, so the common progress of the group can be condensed. The teacher is teaching, scholars, and partners, not only by the guidance of teachers, students and partners together to complete the project, the two sides respect each other, mutual complement each other. In the process of excellent engineers training, any ideas, any design, any creation can be tried with the encourage exploration and failure. During the procedure of realizing ideas into practice in the process of ongoing thinking collision, constantly getting help, we were growing up.In the process of excellent engineers training, teachers’ teaching should not be limited in the narrow space of the class and teachers should be encouraged to use all kinds of resources for creative teaching school, on the other hand to actively expand students’ learning space, which makes the students’ practical ability and innovative ability in the daily teaching and training.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the support from the third graduate education teaching reform project of Hebei University (ID: Yjs2016-5).References[1] ShiJuHua.
