中国工程师学会与民国时期高等工程教育

The Chinese Institute of Engineers and the Higher Engineering Education During the Period of the Republic of China

民国时期,国内高等工程教育存在"课程抄袭欧美"、"学生实习经验不足"、"中文教科书缺乏"等问题,整体水平不高,无法培养出适应工程事业发展需要的工程人才。面对这一局面,中国工程师学会挺身而出,组织会员开展高等工程教育调查与研究,推动编写工程学中文著作和教科书,参与修订大学工科课程标准,审定编译工程名词,设立工程教育奖励,大力推动高等工程教育本土化、体制化和现代化,为中国近代工程教育尤其是高等工程教育的发展做出了巨大贡献。

During the period of the Republic of China, the higher engineering education had problems like ＂the courses were copied form the West＂ ＂the students did not have enough practical experience＂ and ＂there are not enough Chinese textbooks＂, so it could not cultivate the engineers the career needed. Faced with this situation, the Chinese Institute of Engineers has stepped forward. It has organized the members to study the engineering education, has wrote and published Chinese engineering textbooks, has revised the course standard of engineering, has verified and translated engineering terms, and has encouraged and rewarded outstanding engineering students. All of these have pushed the engineering education forward, and have made a tremendous contribution to the development of the higher engi- neering education in China.
