AB  -    Understanding Change and Development of Engineering                   Education in ChinaAbstract:    In the fast development of China, the demand for engineers isincreasing rapidly in recent years. In this paper, the Chineseeducation system for training engineers has been studied in fourperspectives.     First, the definition of qualified engineers in the Chineseeducation system is given. Second, how the Chinese educationsystem for engineers is supposed to operate to train the qualifiedengineers is illustrated as well. Third, the current practicaloperation situations of the Chinese education system for engineersare presented and the currently realized weaknesses or issues in thesystem are analyzed. Especially, the Education Department ofChina has already recognized the lack of practical engineeringtraining for the students both for the undergraduate and graduatelevels. Finally, the possible solutions for the known weaknessesduring the practical operation of the Chinese education system forengineers are pointed out. For instance, a nation-wide projectcalled Excellent Engineering Training Program (EETP) is beingcarrying out in many universities in China which have theengineering disciplines. According to EETP, 10 percent of theundergraduate students in these universities who major inengineering field will have the opportunity to join the EETP.     In conclusion, by the analysis of the Chinese education systemfor engineers we can make the definition, the method of cultivation,the current problems, and the solutions to the current problems ofdeveloping qualified engineers in the Chinese education systemmore clear and it is going to be benefit to the future cultivation ofqualified engineers both in China and other countries.Key Words: Understanding; Change; Development; EngineeringEducation; China                                 1
