Abstract
- Curriculum is a crucial component of
any educational process. Curriculum development
and instructional management serve as effective tools
for meeting the present and future needs of the local
and national communities. In trying to strengthen
the quality assurance system in Philippine higher
education, institutions of higher learning were
mandated to upgrade higher education curricular
offerings to international standards. Anchored on
the PMI framework, data were gathered through in-
depth review of documents, interviews with program
coordinators and on-site observation in selected schools
offering Medical Technology program in U.S.A.,
Australia, Singapore, Japan, Thailand and Canada.
The benchmarking results showed that there were
major “plus” and “interesting” points that can be used
as guide in the innovation of the existing Philippine
Medical Technology program and can become the
basis of enabling implementation activities: reform
and improve curriculum structure, content, teaching-
learning strategies and employ competency-based
assessment process.

The joint training base construction is the key to promoting the scientific and standardized cultivation of the professional degree graduate students, which is an important starting point for the development of distinctive characteristics in the professional degree graduate education. However, the joint training base construction has encountered different problems in the process of cultivating the professional degree graduate students. By analysing the main problems faced by the joint training base construction of the professional degree graduate students, it can be clear that taking the path of the industry-education integration development under the background of “new engineering” is an important way to solve the bottleneck encountered in the joint training base construction. In this paper, the joint training base construction of the professional degree graduate students adapting to the “new engineering” has been studied. First, it establishes the management mechanism for the joint training bases construction of the professional degree graduate students, and then improves the management level for the joint training bases construction of professional degree graduate students, which can enhance the joint training quality of the professional degree graduate students under the background of “new engineering”.

This study endeavoured to establish the characteristics of effective teachers and how these characteristics assisted teachers to improve learner performance. To address this aim, a case study design was employed as a methodology for the study, consisting of five rural schools. A literature study was conducted, alongside semi-structured individual interviews with five school principals and focus group interviews with twenty eight teachers from the same rural schools from where school principals were drawn. The collected data was analysed thematically, by establishing themes and their emerging categories. The established themes and their categories were interpreted and discussed to answer the research questions. The major findings of the study revealed that an effective teacher has a blend of three characteristics, namely, professional characteristics, personality characteristics and social characteristics. The blend of characteristics contribute to the quality of teaching and learning processes. The study recommended that educational practitioners in diversity should be cognisant of the characteristics of effective teachers and nurture them appropriately as these characteristics have a life-transforming effects on the lives of the learners.

Conducting regular evaluation of all the programs must be implemented.
The study investigated the differences in leadership styles exhibited by principals of public Colleges of Education in Ghana in relation to their sex, age, years of work experience, and academic qualification. The cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. The target population was made up of all 46 principals of public Colleges of Education in Ghana. The target population consisted of all 38 public Colleges of Education which were in existence before the absorption of eight private Colleges of Education by the government of Ghana into public system. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 38 principals for the study. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire developed by Bass and Avolio (2004) was adapted to collect data. Means, standard deviations, t-test and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in the leadership styles of the principals of public Colleges of Education in Ghana based on their sex, age, and academic qualification. However, there were statistically significant differences in the leadership styles adopted by the principals in relation to their years of work experience. It was therefore concluded that many years of experience of principals of public CoEs in Ghana is critical for good leadership in these colleges. Among the recommendations was that the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) should consider years of work experience in the selection and appointment of principals for public Colleges of Education in Ghana. Additionally, in-service training and refresher courses should be organized regularly by NCTE for principals on the leadership styles suitable for achievement of objectives and goals of their colleges.
The aim of this research paper is to identify the the perceptions of teachers of English language about the main challenges in teaching primary stage pupils; and to recognize the challenges that are experienced locally in the five educational areas available in the state of Kuwait. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been applied because data are supposed to be in the form of numbers. The survey was provided by a hard copy to about (20) teachers of English language in the state of Kuwait. The survey itself consisted of two sections. The first section refers to some sort of a ranking question. That means the teachers ordered the factors that may develop teaching English to young learners according to their point of views. The second section of the survey included an open question as follows: Which aspect do you think the most challenging in teaching young pupils and why? The results revealed that teachers of English are challenged by several factors including lack of training, resources and acknowledge. Most teachers suffered from lack of time to teach; particularly, teaching writing and grammar.
The study examines the effect of improvisation of teacher-made instructional media on students’ performance in some selected primary science concepts. Thus, a pre-test and post-test, non-randomized experimental design was adopted for the study. Three thousand, three hundred and sixty-eight (3,368) primary six pupils from 48 public primary schools in Akwa Ibom State formed the population while two hundred and nineteen primary six pupils from two schools formed the sample for the study. The two intact classes were exposed to standard and improvised science equipment. A Primary Science Performance Test (PSPT) instrument was used to collect data before and after each lesson. A t-test statistical analysis revealed that there is no significant difference of the post-test performance of intact classes exposed to improvised science equipment and those standard equipment indicating that pupils benefited equally from the standardized and improvised equipment with t-calculated score of 1.34 below the t-critical 2.92. It is recommended that the government should organize workshop on the use of improvised materials to change the orientation of the teacher centred instructional approach to teaching primary science.
Child and Youth Care (CYC) students have the right to be engaged in pedagogical practices that inspire and arouse their curiosity about their field of practice. Undergraduate course-based research in which students have an opportunity to conduct authentic research within a for-credit course is one such high-impact pedagogical practice with a growing body of evidence-based outcomes. This article presents an undergraduate course-based research project that examined child and youth care student’s beliefs about displaying love as a component of their practice. Located in the constructivist/interpretive research paradigm, this course-based research project collected data through the use of an expressive arts-based data method followed by a semi-structured questionnaire. Four overarching themes were identified during the thematic analysis: (a) authentic caring involves expressions of love, (b) expressions of love are an essential component of growth and development, (c) loving care as an ethic of relational practice, and (d) but…professionalism stands in the way. The results of this course-based study suggest that expressing love as a component of relational-centred CYC practice is not fully understood by CYC students and that much more research is needed to explore this issue.
This research describes an attempt to establish a pedagogically useful list of the most frequent semantically non-compositional multi-word combinations for English for Journalism learners in an EFL context, who need to read English news in their field of study. The list was compiled from the NOW (News on the Web) Corpus, the largest English news database by far. In consideration of opaque multi-word combinations in widespread use and pedagogical value, the researcher applied a set of selection criteria when using the corpus. Based on frequency, meaningfulness, and semantic non-compositionality, a total of 318 non-compositional multi-word combinations of 2 to 5 words with the exclusion of phrasal verbs were selected and they accounted for approximately 2% of the total words in the corpus. The list, not highly technical in nature, contains the most commonly-used multi-word units traversing various topic areas and news readers may encounter these phrasal expressions very often. As with other individual word lists, it is hoped that this opaque expressions list may serve as a reference for English for Journalism teaching.
The main objective of this study is to explore how podcasting can be implemented in teaching English as a Second Language as a supportive technological tool and thus contribute to the development of positive attitudes and beliefs of the learners. To this aim, the field experiment research was conducted. The study was carried out in a total of 28 pupils of the first grade of high school at an educational institution on Rhodes, Greece in February 2018. The students were assigned into the experimental group (15 students) and the control group (13 students). The results of the research have shown a positive change in students’ attitudes and beliefs, though no statistically significant difference has arisen regarding the students’ interest in the course, their self-confidence in English, the role of gender in learning English and the difficulties students come across when studying English. Similarly, no significant change has occurred regarding the usefulness of English, the importance of the English accent and the knowledge of another foreign language as a contributing factor to learning English more easily. Finally, a negative change was found regarding difficulties in oral communication in English.
One of the challenges of higher education focuses on the improvement of personal and professional skills of students, with the aim of strengthening strategies that include cutting-edge resources in the learning process. The appropriate use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teaching work as support in face-to-face mode, has a significant impact on engineering professionals. With the correct handling of instruments, strategies, evaluations and educational materials mediated by technologies, which provide great advantages, where the student can work at their own pace and improve the synchronous and asynchronous communication channels with the teacher and their classmates to develop skills and acquire experiences. This work presents the incorporation of educational resources in virtual scenarios as support to the learning units taught in face-to-face modality in the Interdisciplinary Professional Unit of Engineering campus Guanajuato (UPIIG), with the purpose of reinforcing in the student self-management of knowledge to discover new teaching experiences and motivate them in the achievement of meaningful learning.
This study aims to recognize effectiveness methods of teaching skills in primary school in English , the researcher used the numbered heads together strategy as an effective method in education skills, the researcher used an experimental design with two groups (control group and experiment group), with a post-test for the achievement of Al-Khamaal Primary school , Fifth class , The sample of the study consisted of (60) pupils at Al-Khamaal Primary school in English, for the academic year (2018-2019). The researcher equaled the two research groups statistically by ( age by months, the marks of the last year, the achievement of the parents), so there were no statistical significance between the two groups in variables. The researcher used a test to collect data. The analysis of the data showed that the numbered heads together strategy has a great effect in teaching skills at primary schools. At the end of this study, the researcher presented some recommendations. These recommendations that focus on paying more attention to the learning strategies that used to improve educational process, moreover, teacher at primary schools should use effective strategies and effective methods in teaching skills.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Introduction
As the professional education on the basis of second-level disciplines, postgraduate education is a kind of
education training the abilities of learners in innovation research and practice, the overall purpose of postgraduate
education in China is to train the postgraduates to let them master solid basic theories and systematical specialized
knowledge, and further possess certain abilities in scientific research and creation (Zhu and Ma, 2011). In this way,
especially for engineering postgraduates, the training mode including the practice link is to provide a series of
professional learning opportunities with the purpose of training abilities in scientific research, innovation and
practice to postgraduates, and its connotation and characteristics lie in its exploration, innovation, specialty and
dynamic (McNabola and O´Farrell, 2015). Therefore, the assurance of construction hierarchy of innovative practice
training mode based on the construction of course groups, and its comprehensive reform, as well as the final
construction quality directly decides the training level of engineering innovative talents. Under the background of in-
depth advancing of reform of postgraduate training mechanism, and all-round improvement of higher education
quality, as for engineering postgraduates, it has important significance to the training and improvement of
postgraduate abilities in innovation and engineering practice, as well as a wide application prospect to break through
the traditional form, reform the practical training mode which has taken the scientific research activities as main
forms all the time, set and reform practical courses and teaching methods in stratification and modularization, and
construct the special and comprehensive practical course system and training mode integrating the engineering plan
design, practical teaching, and scientific research activities with the overall objective of diversified course
construction and comprehensive reform and practice (Christie, 2015; Lisa and Maura, 2015; Tamano and Guimba,
2016).
2. Construction and Implementation of Practical Teaching Projects for
Postgraduates
In the research of training of engineering practice abilities, the enlightenment of research status at home and
abroad to us lies in that the engineering education is becoming a special research field, and continuously exploring
the combination of engineering and education, and the micro-level course and teaching of engineering education,
namely "engineering learning system" is attracting more and more attention and concern (Soraya et al., 2010). Seen
from the aspect of society, especially the requirements of industrial community on engineering education, the
Abstract: The strategic position of postgraduate education has gradually become a heated issue and the
urgency of quality improvement has become increasingly prominent. Under the background of the strategy of
"Innovation-driven Development", this thesis analyzes the importance of education in practice link to training of

research on engineering education model and course construction reflects the demands of persons related to the
engineering education benefits, and the research contents will be more involved with the differences in various
aspects of different engineering specialties, industries, areas, student genders and nationalities, as well as school
types and levels, so as to form an academic community intercrossing specialties and disciplines. Therefore, it has
become a new trend in deepening the engineering education of engineering students at different levels to reform the
training mode from the perspective of engineering.
As an engineering field researching the oil and gas exploration, evaluation, production, gas-oil separation,
transportation theories and technologies, the oil and gas engineering focuses on the training of high-level talents
engaging in scientific problem tackling, technology development, engineering design and construction, project
planning and management in oil and gas well engineering, oil-gas field development engineering, oil and gas storage
and transportation engineering which is subordinate to the oil and gas engineering field (Hadjamberdiev, 2004). As a
university with the construction of national "Characteristic Key Discipline Project", Northeast Petroleum University
(NEPU) has the first-grade national key disciplines of oil and gas engineering, and establishes the second-grade
national key disciplines of oil and gas well engineering, oil-gas field development engineering and oil gas storage
and transportation engineering, and recruits and trains full-time professional degree postgraduates in the first-grade
disciplines, and academic degree postgraduates in the three second-grade disciplines. Since 2010, the scale of full-
time professional degree postgraduates of Northeast Petroleum University in this field has been 100~120 persons
each year on average, and that of academic degree postgraduates has been 80~100 persons each year on average, and
the scientific research activities have been the training form in the practice link which has always been used by the
University. In order to accommodate the situation of innovative construction of postgraduate education system, the
University has incorporated the practical teaching into the training plan for postgraduates according to the training
goal for academic and professional degree postgraduates in the oil and gas engineering field through the two years of
research and exploration under the background of highlighting the training on innovation spirits and practical
abilities of postgraduates.
2.1. Construction of Innovative Practice Platform
Positioning itself in the open, innovative practice platform for training on comprehensive abilities of
postgraduates, the University establishes the "innovative practice platform for oil and gas engineering postgraduates"
through the integration and optimization of relative idle software and hardware resources in scientific research of
disciplines, scientific combing of process and objectives, uniform compaction of characteristics and standards,
design of open operation mode and mechanism, and coverage of professional directions of oil and gas well
engineering, oil-gas field development engineering and oil and gas storage and transportation engineering. The
platform construction involves scientific experiment contents related to analysis and test of characteristics of
chemical flooding drilling fluid, displacing fluid and produced fluid in the tertiary oil recovery, fully reflects the
comprehensiveness, innovation and interdisciplinary, and resolves the problems that some precise and precious
instrument equipment is hard to realize the large-scale opening and practice application to postgraduates. As the
symbolic achievement of construction of postgraduate practice base in Northeast Petroleum University, this platform
provides a superior environment and condition for such practical activities as establishing experiment teaching
projects, carrying out training on innovative abilities and discipline competitions for postgraduates in the oil and gas
engineering field.
2.2. Setting of Practical Teaching Contents
Considering that practical teaching is an important link of training the scientific quality, hands-on abilities and
innovation abilities of students, the University positions itself into the facilitation of positive interaction between
growth and success of postgraduates in the oil and gas engineering field through practical teaching activities, and for
full-time professional degree postgraduates, it covers the reservoir engineering, oil production engineering, oil and
gas well engineering and oil gas storage and transportation engineering discipline directions, constructs the practical
teaching projects in integration, places stress on and reflects the training on engineering practice abilities of
postgraduates; for academic degree postgraduates, it constructs the practical teaching projects in modularization
according to the oil-gas field development engineering, oil and gas well engineering, oil and gas storage and
transportation engineering discipline directions, and places stress on and reflects the training on innovation abilities
of postgraduates. Furthermore, the University focuses on comprehensive design, independent exploration and
guidance and realization of opening and innovation, sets practical teaching projects according to the professional
degree level, academic degree level and integration and modularization characteristics, and carries out the
experiment teaching in stratification and modularization for postgraduates in this field.
Generally, the University sets the practical teaching projects according to the professional degree level and
academic degree level in view of the training on innovative practice abilities of postgraduates in the oil and gas
engineering field based on the starting point of being completely higher than specialty experiment teaching of
undergraduates. And the University sets 32-hour practical teaching projects according to the integration
characteristics in the professional degree level, and 16-hour practical teaching projects according to the
modularization characteristics in the academic degree level. Two courses of Oil and Gas Engineering Experiment
and Oil and Gas Engineering Exploration and Innovation Experiment are established for these practical teaching
projects, as elective courses for the degree, the two courses break through the training mode in the practice link

54
which traditionally takes the scientific research activities as the main form, so as to further increase and realize
quantification of weight of training on practical skills of postgraduates, and meanwhile further highlight the
strengthening training on engineering practice and innovation abilities of professional degree postgraduates. Up to
now, the teaching implementation for two sessions of postgraduates has shown a good operation and feedback.
3. Construction and Practice of Practical Courses in Engineering Plan Design
As a kind of ability in engaging in engineering design, the engineering design ability is substantially the
concentrated reflection of designer quality, and the engineering design in a general sense is a kind of planning
activities, as well as specific measures and means which are proposed to solve problems according to certain
engineering purposes (Pericles and Panagiotis, 2014). The engineering design is a kind of creative labor by taking
the goal of transforming the objective world, and the design process is a decision made under some restraint
conditions to reach a certain goal. This decision is closely related to the personal morality quality, knowledge
quality, technical capability, physical quality, etc. of the designer, and good engineering design abilities are within
the background of solid basic theoretical knowledge and professional engineering technologies, and based on
information acquisition capability and application skills. Therefore, engineering postgraduates may obtain a
considerable amount of basic skills in engaging production practice, and fully reserve scientific achievement
transformation capabilities through the effective combination with the actual engineering field in the design ability
training. This provides some ideas for expanding the channels of training practical abilities of postgraduates,
constructing the practical courses in professional engineering plan design, and forming implementation
specifications for engineering plan design under the guidance of discipline direction.
3.1. Development Background of Practical Courses in Engineering Plan Design
With the improvement of the scientific and technical level in the global oil industry, the development design of
oilfield engineering in the oil industry has become a kind of work changing from focusing on satisfaction of the use
function into comprehensive consideration of requirements in multiple aspect such as the use function, use value,
economic factor of structure, as well as the effect on overall function and planning of oilfield, and raises higher
requirements on the multidisciplinary collaboration of exploration, development, drilling, storage and transportation,
as well as the expertise level, overall design philosophy, scientific research level and creative thinking of designers.
It is undoubtedly a vital element for facilitating the training on innovative practice abilities of postgraduates in the oil
and gas engineering field to forge a platform integrating learning, competition and research, and grasp the dialectical
relation in "learning, competition, competition" - "learning for competition, competition for research promotion"
(Cunningham and Higgins, 2015; Qiang, 2012).
As one of six competitions of "National Postgraduate Innovative Practice Activities" recognized by the China
Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center, "China Petroleum Engineering Design
Competition" is an academic competition which is organized by China Academic Degrees and Graduate Education
Development Center, Chinese National Committee for World Petroleum Council, Chinese Petroleum Society, China
Petroleum Education Society under the overall background of "Plan for Training Outstanding Engineers" suggested
by the Ministry of Education, with the main purpose of training on practice and innovation abilities of university
students. In order to expand the competition range, become an international competition, and attract foreign players
to compete, enhance the competition's international fame, this academic competition changed its name into "China
Petroleum Engineering Design Competition" from "National Petroleum Engineering Design Competition" in 2015.
This competition is widely involved with each field in the oil professional research, especially the design and
management of oil engineering, and increases more innovation contents on the basis of traditional exploration,
development, drilling, storage and transportation by combining the non-conventional oil and gas resources, and
provides a typical turning point to exercise, promote and train students' overall quality and abilities in comprehensive
application of specialized knowledge. The competition completes preliminary examination and review in each
division, and then selects the outstanding teams who will join the on-site defense in the final.
3.2. Construction and Practice of Oil Engineering Plan Design Courses
Under the guide of this academic competition involving with innovative practice, we plan and construct
practical courses of Oil Engineering Plan Design, and set the contents separately in hydrocarbon reservoir
engineering plan design, drilling engineering plan design, oil and gas production engineering plan design, oil and gas
storage and transportation engineering plan design under the guidance of discipline direction. Postgraduates take
corresponding practical courses in engineering plan design electively according to the research direction, and during
the implementation process, and complete such courses by taking "China Petroleum Engineering Design
Competition" as background and turning point in two terms: in the spring term of the first-year postgraduates,
instructors guide the postgraduates to complete the plan design task of competition problems of China Petroleum
Engineering Design Competition in the previous year, which trains the postgraduates' abilities in applying theory to
reality, comprehensively solving the actual production problems, and makes the postgraduates establish the basic
ideas in developing the engineering plan design, including the design principles, methods and steps, etc.; in the fall
term of the second year, instructors organize postgraduates to join and independently complete the competition
problems of China Petroleum Engineering Design Competition in the current year, and make a comprehensive and

55
systematical plan design for a single item or all items, and finally comprehensively evaluate the results of the
practical courses in combination of the works submitted to the competition.
4. Construction of Integrated Special and Comprehensive Practical Course
System
Innovation comes from practice, and the innovative practice training is an important channel to improve the
overall quality of postgraduates (Sammel and Waters, 2014). It is important to expand diversified practice training
mode in the engineering postgraduate education in the face of talent requirements focusing on design, practice,
innovation and competitiveness (Murgor, 2013). Based on the scientific development of training mode for innovative
talents, the diversified expansion in practical teaching with scientific research and innovative design as development
direction can improve the abilities of postgraduates in comprehensive utilization of knowledge in the practice
process, stimulate the creative abilities of postgraduates, and meanwhile trains the scientific and rigorous work style
as well as team spirit of mutual cooperation, facilitates the coordinated development between practice and innovation
abilities and overall quality of postgraduates, and pays equal attention to the personal development of postgraduates,
and has important significance to the realization of training on high-quality and creative first-class talents.
Fig.1. Characteristics of Innovative practice Training for Postgraduates in Oil & Gas Engineering Field
Generally, the stratified and modularized construction of practical teaching projects is explored and
implemented according to goal of training academic and professional degree masters during the process of
advancing the diversified innovative practice training mode for postgraduates in oil and gas engineering; the orderly
establishment of engineering plan design task under the guidance of discipline direction, as well as the effective
connection with the discipline top design competitions is realized during conducting the construction of practical

and forms the characteristics of innovative practice training for postgraduates as shown in Fig.1.
5. Conclusions and Recommendations for Operation Mechanism
It has become an important direction for universities in deepening the reform of postgraduate education and
teaching in recent years to continuously optimize and adjust the discipline structure, and explore and build a training
mode for innovative talents with high quality and strong ability in multiple channels. This thesis provides the
following conclusions and recommendations for the innovative practice training work of postgraduates in oil and gas
engineering field of Northeast Petroleum University through the research on construction of innovative practice
training mode for postgraduates, as well as the teaching reform research, and tries to demonstrate them to the
establishment of innovative practice training mode and operation mechanism for engineering postgraduates in
relevant disciplines:
1) For the construction and practice of practical teaching projects, the practical teaching projects are planned
and set according to discipline characteristics as well as requirements on talent knowledge system by mainly
utilizing the "innovative practice platform for oil and gas engineering postgraduates". Instructors teach the core
technology contents, and postgraduates design technical plans, independently complete experiment contents, analyze
and solve problems, and research and practice more targeted teaching methods in view of training plans in the
practice link established by levels and categories, as well as practical teaching projects designed in modularization.
2) For the construction and practice of practical courses in oil engineering plan design, 4 sections are set under
the guidance of discipline direction, the postgraduates' abilities in applying theory to reality, and comprehensively
solving the actual production problems by taking China Petroleum Engineering Design Competition as background
and turning point are achieved, and the basic ideas in developing the engineering plan design are established.
3) For the involved high-pressure, inflammable and explosive high-risk or extreme environments, unreachable
or irreversible operation, as well as engineering practice training projects requiring high costs and consumption, it is
suggested to introduce and allocate virtual simulation resources to realize virtual-actual combination, and mutual
complementation, and effectively promote the diversification of innovative practice training for postgraduates, which
is the further work plan for the innovative practice training for postgraduates in oil and gas engineering
4) An integrated special and comprehensive practical course system is constructed in combination of traditional
scientific research activities, and innovation abilities, engineering practical abilities and competitiveness of
postgraduates at different levels are increased by focusing on "training on innovation ability, engineering practice
ability and overall quality", so as to make postgraduates really become high-level application-oriented talents.
