Study On The Quality Benchmark Of Professional Master Degree Of Engineering Management

With the rapid development of industrialization, society and economy in China, the demand for high-quality Engineering Management is surging. However, the existing Engineering Management Training System cannot adapt to this change and meet the demand. High-quality and standardized Engineering Management training is an urgent subject to higher education, which must be treated seriously.Based on the concepts of Engineering Management, Engineering Management Education, Higher Education Quality, Professional Degree, after studying Engineering Management Education home and abroad, this paper proposes the imagine that China offers the Engineering Management Degree. Based on the methods of Benchmarking, Bloom's Taxonomy, Managers'Competency, and according to studies, this paper constructs the quality index and benchmark of Engineering Management Master Degree. Finally, against the quality index and benchmark, this paper proposes several suggestions to ensure the quality of Engineering Management training.This paper is divided into seven chapters.Chapter 1:Introduction. The situation that society and economy demands for considerable high-quality Engineering Managers, while the existing training system cannot meet the demand introduces the studying subject on standardized training for high-quality Engineering Management and puts forward the 6 study that will be fulfilled to demonstrate the research ideas of these tasks.Chapter 2:Review, relevant concepts and theories. Based on the concept of Engineering Management, this chapter tells the relationships between Engineering Management and Industry Management, Engineering Management and Technical Management, and Engineering Management and Project Management, which get rid of obstacle for the imagine of Engineering Management Master degree. Also, to offer theory foundation for further study, this chapter studies the methods and theories of Benchmarking, Quality Management, and Bloom's Taxonomy.Chapter 3:Introduce the foreign situation of Engineering Management Education and related Standards. This chapter makes an exhaustive induction to the situation of foreign Engineering Management education with emphasis on analyzing the American Engineering Management and Engineering Management Education Standard, which is a source of reference to set up Engineering Management Master Degree and Quality Standard in China.Chapter 4:Engineering Management Education situation in China and demand analysis. This chapter analyses the situation of Engineering Management Education in China and points out the shortages:professional orientation is not reasonable, training objectives and standards are not clear, and the training mode need to be improved. Also, this chapter makes an investigation and concludes the employment of graduate of Engineering Management meets the same problems. Deeply, these shortages is due to Engineering Management Education in China cannot meet the demand of Social and Economic development. So Engineering Management training in China should meet the demand of Social and Economic development and emphases on practical application ability, on the other side, Engineering Management Master Degree should be offered. This chapter demonstrates Engineering Management Master should be both professional and practical. The degree should emphases on professional, that is to say, meeting the market demand.Chapter 5:Construction of Engineering Management Master Quality System and Benchmark. First, from the perspective of managers'professional competency, this chapter analyses the main abilities that Engineering Management should have and builds an Engineering Management Master quality model. Based on the hypothesis, this chapter make an investigation to industry according to the 6 areas of competency element, to understand Engineering Management practice in professional field emphases on which competency Engineer Managers should have and to which extent. Through Construct Equation Model examines the selection of key competency element in Engineering Management Master Quality Model is reasonable or not and through statistics reveals the importance (weights) of competency elements, Engineering Management Master Quality Index System can be built. Then, figure out the performance on each quality index of present Engineering Management employee, and set the mean value to each index as the initial benchmark for Engineering Management Master training. Finally, according to Bloom's taxonomy, and combining with study results of Engineering Management Benchmark home and abroad, two-dimension know/ability benchmark of Engineering Management Master based on education objectives can be built.Chapter 6:Suggestions to ensure the quality of Engineering Management Master. Combining with the study results in the former content, to reach the standards of quality benchmark, this chapter suggests Engineering Management Master should ensure the following aspects:the construction of Engineering Management Master Quality System, quality control to key education process, construction of relevant environment protection, and the participation of industry.Chapter 7:Conclusion. This chapter concludes the main results of this paper.
