Research progress and trend of training excellent engineering talents in China

Abstract

Using CiteSpace software, this paper makes a quantitative analysis on the CSSCI periodical literature on the cultivation of excellent engineering talents collected by CNKI from 2010 to 2020. Combined with the data statistics and second reading of the literature, it is found that the development of China's research on the cultivation of excellent engineering talents can be roughly divided into the “extensive exploration stage” from 2010 to 2015 and the “focused exploration stage” from 2016 to 2020. The five high-frequency keywords, including “Higher engineering education”, “Talent training mode”, “Practical teaching”, “School enterprise cooperation” and “Teaching reform”, represent the research hotspot of China's excellent engineering talent training in recent ten years. The integration and implementation of Emerging Engineering Education and Outstanding Engineers Education Training Plan is the development frontier of future research.
