1. Training objectives
The main training objectives of master degree students in the field of control engineering are to meet the needs of national economic development, and to meet the needs of enterprises and institutions for talents in the field of automation engineering with all-round development of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness. Talent management, the specific goals are:
1. Master the basic theory of Marxism, adhere to the basic line of the party, love the motherland, abide by discipline and law, have good moral character and professionalism, have a scientific and rigorous and pragmatic learning attitude and work style, and be in good physical and mental health.
2. Master the basic theory in the field of control engineering and the advanced technical methods and modern technical means for solving engineering problems, and have the ability to independently engage in engineering design and operation, analysis and integration, research and development, management maintenance and decision-making, etc. in a certain direction in this field Competent for work in the field of actual control engineering.
3. Master a foreign language, be able to read foreign language materials in the subject area proficiently, and have certain foreign language writing and communication skills.
2. Study period
The flexible academic system is adopted for the training of postgraduates with professional degrees. The study period for full-time postgraduates with professional degrees is generally two years, and the study period for on-the-job postgraduates with professional degrees is generally three years. Postgraduates should complete the courses and dissertations required by the training program within the prescribed number of years, complete the credits, and graduate on schedule. If necessary, upon the application of the graduate student, the consent of the supervisor and the school, and the approval of the Graduate School (preparation), the study period may be extended appropriately, but the study period shall not exceed five years.
3. Training methods
1. Adopt a training method combining course study, practical teaching and dissertation.
2. Curriculum setting embodies solid basic theory, emphasizing practical application, and cutting-edge knowledge, focusing on professional practice courses and engineering practice courses. The credit system is implemented for course study, and the total credits should be obtained not less than 32 credits, of which the degree courses are not less than 18 credits.
3. Practical teaching is the main link in the professional degree master training. Encourage graduate students to practice in enterprises, which can be combined with concentrated practice and segmented practice. Practical teaching includes professional technical practice courses and practical links (engineering practice).
4. A comprehensive assessment will be conducted after the courses and practical studies are completed. The comprehensive assessment shall be carried out in accordance with the "Comprehensive Assessment Measures for Professional Degree Master Graduates of Shenzhen University". Only after passing the comprehensive assessment can the applicant enter the degree application stage.
5. Implement a double-tutor system, one of which is a postgraduate tutor with engineering practice experience in the school, and the other is a senior technical title recommended by the unit from an industrial and mining enterprise or engineering department with a high level of professionalism and a strong sense of responsibility expert. It is also possible to set up a steering group for training according to the research direction of the graduate student's thesis.
6. Those who need to make up courses in other fields or according to other regulations shall be determined by the tutor when formulating the personal training plan, and will be included in the assessment results, but not the credits.
4. Professional practice (engineering practice)
Each research direction shall set up an engineering practice link according to the characteristics of the direction and the subject, and the duration shall not be less than 6 months in principle. Engineering practice focuses on cultivating graduate students' ability to solve practical problems. The approach to engineering internships encourages diversity.
1. Organization and arrangement of engineering practice
1) Full-time postgraduates with a professional master’s degree should develop an engineering internship plan in consultation with their supervisors before the end of the second semester and enter the engineering internship stage in the third semester. Engineering practice can take the form of full-time practice, or the way of crossing course study and engineering practice.
2) Engineering practice method
( 1) The on-campus tutors will arrange the engineering practice sessions for the students in combination with their respective applied scientific research topics.
( 2) Give full play to the guiding role of off-campus tutors, use the on-site talent training resources, and the off-campus tutors are responsible for arranging the corresponding engineering practice sessions.
( 3) The graduate student will contact the on-site engineering practice unit by himself according to his employment.
( 4) Relying on the postgraduate joint training bases, practical teaching bases or industry-university-research partners established by the school and external units, the school will organize and select students to carry out engineering practice on site.
2. Assessment of Engineering Practice
1) The tutor implements the whole process of management and quality evaluation of the engineering practice for graduate students to ensure its quality. After the engineering practice is over, graduate students should fill in the "Shenzhen University Full-time Professional Degree Master's Professional Practice Assessment Form ". After the instructors of the practice unit and the tutors in the school fill in the evaluation opinions, they can pass the approval of the degree evaluation sub-committee of the college.
2) Students who do not participate in the engineering practice or fail the engineering practice assessment will not be eligible to apply for graduation or dissertation defense.
5. Personal training plan
To ensure the high quality of postgraduate training for professional degree masters, during the second week of the first semester, the postgraduate guidance group will select instructors for postgraduates through a mutual selection process between teachers and students. Once approved by the college, the selection is reported to the Graduate School.
Under the guidance of the tutor, the graduate students will formulate a personal training plan before the end of the first month of the first semester according to the requirements of the professional training program. The training plan must follow the general principles of the professional training program and tailor the teaching approach according to each student's aptitude.
