Satisfaction Survey on the Joint-Training Open Base for Engineering Postgraduates in Guangdong – Take Guangdong Province Foshan Graduate Joint Training Base as an Example

Abstract

The Joint-training Open Base for Engineering Postgraduates is a government-built engineering practice open platform for the integration of production and education. In order to acquire the satisfaction of postgraduates with the engineering practice, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 399 postgraduates jointly trained by 15 universities and 101 enterprises from Guangdong Province Foshan Graduate Joint Training Base (hereafter denoted as Foshan Base). The results show that the overall satisfaction rate of the Open Base is 83.4%, which is higher than comparable Open Bases nationwide. The satisfaction rate with the academic ability of enterprises and enterprise tutors is relatively low, and the cohesive courses and R&D projects are strongly related to the satisfaction rate. Postgraduates are advised to pay close attention to the development of engineering professional ability and government guarantees delivered by the Open Base. It is recommended to further improve the Open Base operation system, accelerate replication and promotion, and further enhance the ability of service industry development.
