创客模式:工程教育与产业实践融合的驱动力

Maker: Driving Force of Collaboration between Engineering Education and Industry Practices

基于文献调研、参与式观察与深度访谈,文章分析了创客运动在中国的发展与演化,并探讨了在"大众创业,万众创新"的国家发展战略背景下,创客模式所驱动的工程教育与产业实践相融合的机遇和挑战。借助创客运动,产业资源对工程教育的影响逐渐扩展到资源支撑、科技服务、项目筛选、实践教学环境等多个层面。相应地,工程教育也为产业实践提供了人才、创新力、智慧资源的基础。结合创客运动的特征及其社群属性,进一步加强工程教育与产业实践的结合,是促进创新型工程人才培养和加快产业创新升级的良好途径。

The article analyzed the development and evolution of maker movement in China, based on literature reviews, participative observation and intensive interview. The article also discussed the opportunities and challenges of the collaboration of engineering education and industry practices driven by maker movement, under the national development strategy background of ＂entrepreneurship in general public and innovation in people＂. Through maker-style activities, the influence of industrial resources on engineering education increasingly extended to resources support, technological consultancy, project selection, practical teaching environment, etc. Correspondingly, engineering education provided the bases of talents, innovation, wisdom resource for industrial practice. The collaboration between engineering education and industry practice was enhanced combined with the characteristic and social feature of maker-style activities, which promoted the cultivation of creative engineering talents and accelerated the industrial upgrading.
