Comprehensive engineering training is the engineering education program to realize the overall development of engineering practice abilities (technical operation ability, engineering management ability, etc.), engineering thinking abilities (innovative thinking ability, self-directed learning ability, etc.), and other relevant abilities of the students through actual engineering practice training and comprehensive engineering thinking training.
As project-based learning (PBL) is one of the key approaches to carry out comprehensive engineering training, PBL based on comprehensive engineering training will provide a fine platform for the students to accumulate engineering experience. Hence, the integrated PBL model based on CDIO, namely, C-DREAM model, is proposed. The whole series of training solutions offered by this model provide reference path for the students to master disciplinary knowledge, improve comprehensive abilities and develop career awareness.
