There are many distinct differences between the curriculums of Chinese and American masters of engineering about their distribution of credit hours,the methods of learning and teaching and the exploration of knowledge.Through the comparison and analysis,we can find our curriculum is deeply influenced by the traditional concepts,educational management,the mode of major division and the stage of social practice.In order to foster excellent master of engineering,we must break the barrier of different majors,and create a nice atmosphere of big-engineering major.We also should renovate the system of curriculum and education to satisfy the personal development of different students.Furthermore,we need to strengthen the engineering practice of teachers.At last,we should encourage the government,companies and universities to get together and create a stage for the cultivation of master of engineering.
