中国与新加坡土木工程专业人才培养模式比较

针对中国和新加坡两国土木工程专业本科人才培养模式,以武汉大学和南洋理工大学为例,在土木工程专业的培养目标、方向设置、课程设置、教学模式、实践实习、毕业设计等6个方面作全面深入的比较。结果表明,武汉大学侧重某一方向的工程技能培养,南洋理工大学更强调科研、工程技能、职业能力、团队合作、职业伦理等综合素质培养。南洋理工大学土木工程专业核心课程数量多于武汉大学,涉及范围也大于武汉大学。武汉大学大部分课程的学时数量多于南洋理工大学,课程学习主要为教师讲授、学生听课的传统教学模式;南洋理工大学主要为学生自主学习的模式,且南洋理工大学培养了学生的团体合作、思辨能力和工程交流能力。对于土木工程的实践实习,南洋理工大学侧重培养学生的科学研究能力,武汉大学土木工程专业的本科阶段,尚缺乏对科学研究能力的培养。对于毕业设计,南洋理工大学在内容的广度和工作量上,均大于武汉大学土木工程的要求。根据6个方面的比较,给出武汉大学或国内其他高校土木工程专业人才培养模式改进建议,供高校土木工程专业参考。

Training mode comparison of civil engineering specialty in China and Singapore

The training mode of civil engineering in China and Singapore are compared with the example of Wuhan University and Nanyang Technological University. The training mode comparison includes 6 aspects, i.e. training goal, field, and course system, teaching method, practice and diploma design. The results show that the engineering skills about one single field are paid more attention by Wuhan University, while general quality including scientific research, comprehensive engineering technique, career power up, team spirit and career ethics, are emphasized by Nanyang Technological University. There is a much wider range of specialized course in Nanyang Technological University than in Wuhan University. The academic hours of civil engineering in Wuhan University is more than that in Nanyang Technological University. The study mode is mainly the teachers'' teaching and students'' listening in Wuhan University, while in Nanyang Technological University; the students study more independently so that the team spirit, argumentative skill and engineering communication skill are trained. As for practice, the scientific research ability is stressed by Nanyang Technological University, which is lack in Wuhan University. The amount of work and scope of diploma design in Nanyang Technological University is much larger than that in Wuhan University. According to the comparison of 6 aspects, some suggestions have been given for civil engineering training mode of Wuhan University and other universities, which can be used as reference for revision of civil engineering training mode in China.
