ABSTRACT

For all the remarkable gains higher education has scored, many challenges still lie ahead of the postgraduate construction in the context of the expanding scale of postgraduate enrollment, the construction of "double first-class" as well as the laws of the new engineering discipline, all of which affect the innovation in academic research. Due to this significance, the main objective of this paper was to insist on and fully implement the student-centered premise, and innovate the talent cultivation mode and mechanism system by adjusting the ways and methods of education and teaching. For validation, this paper endeavors to stimulate the vitality of postgraduate learning, promote the reform and development of electrical education, and is well in progress in improving the quality of talent cultivation amid the new engineering education. Herein, we used a questionnaire, and surveyed a sample of 300 postgraduate students to explore current bedrocks in academic research innovativeness and propose the appropriate solutions, amid the aspects of the training program, research team, teaching program, assessment system and make requirements for the teaching of professional postgraduate students in all aspects, as a work to form a good cultivation mode in the process of "double first-class" construction, and deliver high-quality inter-disciplinary talents to the society and the country.
