Abstract

The coming of Industry 4.0 era is having tremendous influences on low-skilled jobs, posing challenges to traditional engineering education. How do people understand the industrial changes? How do people deliver industrial demands to higher engineering education? It remains ongoing concern. To meet the recent needs of biopharmaceutical industry, China started biopharmaceutical engineering (BE) undergraduate education in 2010. In this article, by using statistical product and service solutions (SPSS) software, the current status of higher engineering education mode for BE undergraduates in China, including official approval, geo-distribution, university types and classifications were analyzed. Importantly, the paper concludes that majority of BE undergraduate majors are focused on training application-oriented talents who are expected to resolve the complicated technical and engineering problems that emerge from the front line of industrial production and management. Specifically, the Industry-University cooperation in China is described to deduce that Biopharmaceutical Industry College could be an efficient path to educate application-oriented BE undergraduates. These combined efforts would substantially promote the public acceptance and understanding of BE undergraduate education in China.
