Reform and Practice of the Talent Cultivation Model for Software Engineering Undergraduate-Graduate Articulation Driven by Industry-Education Integration
To address the structural contradictions in the traditional segmented undergraduate-graduate cultivation model for software engineering, such as superficial industry-education integration, fragmented competence development, and lagging research training, this paper proposes a reform scheme for cultivating outstanding scientific and technological innovation talents driven by industry-education integration and characterized by integrated undergraduate-graduate cultivation. This model aims to cultivate outstanding scientific and technological innovation talents with innovative spirit, practical capabilities, and an international perspective. By constructing a vertical “curriculum chain” articulation system to break down institutional barriers between undergraduate and graduate education, implementing four-tier progressive project training—“course projects–science and innovation competitions–graduation design–degree thesis”—to strengthen innovation capability, building a school-enterprise collaborative education platform to deepen industry-education integration, and establishing a multi-dimensional evaluation and continuous improvement mechanism to ensure cultivation quality, it forms a five-in-one cultivation system of “industry demand guidance–curriculum system articulation–progressive project training–school-enterprise collaborative education–closed-loop quality assurance.” Taking the Software Engineering major at Dalian Jiaotong University as the practical carrier, this scheme has a solid implementation foundation and promotion value, and is expected to provide a replicable and promotable reform scheme for the cultivation of outstanding scientific and technological innovation talents in software engineering.
