ABSTRACT

With the continuous development of global trade and ocean economy, the importance of the field of port, harbour and coastal engineering is increasingly highlighted. However, traditional educational models for these fields can no longer meet the rapidly changing industry demands and technological developments. New challenges and opportunities require reforms in the education of port, harbour and coastal engineering to cultivate high-quality talents that can adapt to future needs. This paper aims to explore the reform of port, harbour and coastal engineering education, and proposes feasible reform plans. Firstly, it is necessary to re-evaluate and update the curriculum to ensure that the teaching content is consistent with the industry development trends and latest technologies. Secondly, teaching methods and tools need to be reformed, with the introduction of more practical and interdisciplinary teaching activities. At the same time, close ties need to be established with the industry and enterprises to promote education and practical needs matching, and to carry out cooperative research and practical projects. Finally, evaluation and feedback mechanisms need to be established to understand the effects of education reform and student learning achievements, and to adjust and improve based on feedback results. Through these reform plans, port, harbour and coastal engineering education can better adapt to industry demands and technological developments, cultivate high-quality talents with comprehensive, practical and innovative abilities, and contribute to the sustained development of the field of port, harbour and coastal engineering.
