On the Training Method for the Research Ability of Graduate Students in Engineering

摘要

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education has been researched all around the world for years and has been proved that it needs knowledgeable and skillful design in all aspects. Many previous research focused on the combination of teaching and practicing, while neglecting the development of research ability of graduate students. So this paper discusses a systematic training method to improve the quality of research from three aspects: how teachers can do to train the research thinking for their students, what the colleges and universities can do to train the research skills for their students, and the ways for undergraduate and graduate students to improve their innovation skills in research.
