Research and Practice on Graduation Design of Civil Engineering in Application-Oriented Undergraduate Institutes

Abstract

Graduation design of civil engineering is not only the most important comprehensive practical teaching stage, but also one of the primary phases for excellent engineers training. Several problems about the graduation design currently exist in application-oriented undergraduate institutes. Per to the spirit of excellent engineer project released by the Ministry of Education, the teaching reform and practice were carried out on the graduation design at the aspects of the topic selection, the teaching content optimization, the establishment of innovation systems, the improvement of teachers practical abilities, the management system and the enhancement of safety concept. Favorable results have been obtained, indicating that the overall quality of the graduation design has been obviously improved. Suggestions have also been given, which can be a reference for the teaching program revision of the graduation design.
