5、 Training methods

We adopt a combination of course learning, professional practice, scientific research training, and academic exchange, adhere to school enterprise cooperation in training, and implement an on campus and off campus mentor group guidance model.

1. The curriculum should reflect a solid foundation in theory, emphasize practical application, and broaden cutting-edge knowledge, with a focus on professional practical courses and engineering practical courses.

2. Professional practice is an important part of the cultivation of professional master's degree students. Encouraging graduate students to intern in enterprises can be achieved through a combination of centralized practice and segmented practice. During the semester, graduate students must ensure no less than six months of professional practice, and the professional practice time for fresh undergraduate graduates is generally no less than one year.

3. Adopting a dual mentor system. Master's supervisors with professional practical experience on campus and responsible professional technical personnel selected by enterprises and institutions (generally with senior technical titles or corresponding levels) jointly guide master's students.

4. The topic of the thesis should be based on the actual professional background or have a clear professional technical background.

5. The training of part-time graduate students can be conducted through centralized or decentralized learning methods, but the quality and requirements of the training cannot be reduced. Various disciplines can adopt flexible course teaching methods, fully utilize modern information technology and teaching methods, and ensure teaching quality.
