Integration of Featured Specialty Construction and Featured Course Construction in Higher Education - With a Case Study of China Jiliang University

摘要

Universities in China are facing harsh competitions for their graduates' employment in a labor market which was lagging behind the development of the universities, and it's becoming important for specialties and courses to have their own unique features so as to win a competitive edge in a fierce market. Therefore, featured specialty construction and featured course construction have been given much attention in recent years, but so far the researches and practices have almost all been conducted on only one of these. This paper analyzes the relationship of the two, and puts forward the concept of integration of featured specialty construction and featured course construction, and gives an example to support the main idea of this paper, which is the practices of the State-level Featured Specialty "Measurement & Technology and Instrumentation" in China Jiliang University and its State-level Excellent Course "Sensor Technology", including the techniques they adopted to become successful.
