| With the advent of world flat and economic globalization, how to implement free movement and transfer among advanced engineering and technical talents at the international level has becomes an urgent issue for national Engineering Education reforms. U.S Higher Engineering Education is the flagship in the world,the system of its Professional Certification System of Engineering Education, which linked by "Washington Accord", marked by EC2000 Professional Certification System, aimed to undergraduate Bachelor of Engineering for international mutual recognition of qualifications, centered in the quality of Bachelor of Engineering Ability Cultivation, and oriented with capacity output of Bachelor of Engineering, has become the trends of Engineering Undergraduate Education in the U.S. and the world. It impacts and enhances the teaching reform and teaching quality in the national Engineering Undergraduate Education.The guide of this article is the "results oriented" certification standards that carried out by "Washington Accord" and EC2000 accreditation indicators. By using literature, historical analysis, case studies and other methods, this paper studies the Ability Cultivation of American Engineering Bachelor's objectives, requirements, content, and training mode, Which could be useful to the reform of Higher Engineering Education in our nation.It gives us a reference to how to Cultivate Bachelor of Engineering by the international standard to make them have the competences to win the international competitions and to expand the global job market.The main body of the article contains four parts. First, under the circumstance of the reform wave in the world of Higher Engineering Education-"Engineering Practice Regression ", this article combs and reviews the history of Higher Engineering Education in U.S., especially the Ability Cultivation of Bachelor of Engineering and its reform trend in the 21st century. Next, it analysis and demonstrates the Ability Cultivation of American Engineering Bachelor's objectives, requirements, content, training mode and the directive function of "Washington Accord" to Cultivate the Capacity of U.S. Bachelor of Engineering. Third, by selecting the case of University of Michigan, which is famous for its engineering, it analysis the goals, requirements, training mode, results and social assessment. Finally, based on analysis of the training model and approach of the Ability Cultivation of U.S. Bachelor of Engineering, and combined with China's specific conditions, it may have some revelations about Ability Cultivation of Bachelor of Engineering in China. |
