To Build "Big E" Engineering Talent’ Ought Attributes Interpretation Of "Engineering With A Big E" Educational Thought In The U.S Criteria For Accrediting Engineering Programs

To Build "big E" Engineering Talent’Ought Attributes—Interpretation of "Engineering with a Big E" Educational Thought in the U.S criteria for accrediting engineering programsThe U.S criteria for accrediting engineering programs is the core ideology of the U.S system of specialized accreditation of engineering, and has namely advocated its concept."engineering with a big E" is the most core concept of the criteria.The U.S criteria for accrediting engineering programs set to reflect the view of "engineering with a big E", reflecting the value of the pursuit of the leading engineering education reform and development,emphasizing on engineering education should return to the project itself, focusing on the systematic, comprehensive and holistic. It also reflects the demand of ought attributes of "big E" engineering talent, and then proclaiming how to build the ought attributes of "big E" engineering talent.The ought attributes of "big E" engineering talent should build from three dimensions of broad professional qualities, comprehensive abilities and ethical quality.

The broad professional opposite to narrow professional, and it comply with the rules of the development of the subject. The broad professional curriculum is the reality carrier of the broad professional qualities.It aims at develop talent’ integrative knowledge and engineering practical ability. Secondly, build comprehensive abilities by implementing the "whole man" concept. The comprehensive abilities contains scientific quality and humanistic quality. So the "big E" engineering talent should possess good scientific and humanity, and highlight humanity. Engineering practical ability is the promoting factor of comprehensive abilities.

Lastly, through the process of "ethical awareness" to "ethical practice" internalizes ethical quality, and play the overall function of the "Knowledge and Action".To educate "big E" engineering talent is the United States as a representative of the developed countries of the engineering talents cultivation idea. The U.S criteria for accrediting engineering programs proclaiming how to build the ought attributes of "big E" engineering talent all around the world.
