When reputation evaluation indicators become targets, existing indicators will lose the role of indicating the true quality; At present, the evaluation of discipline reputation mostly focuses on subjective evaluation based on objective data, and there is a dispute about reliability and validity; Due to different indicators and weight settings, it is difficult to make horizontal comparison among disciplines; The evaluation also has a certain time lag. In order to solve the above four problems, this study explores a new method of discipline reputation evaluation. Taking the business administration discipline as an example, it collects data of 5848 doctoral graduates who first entered teaching posts, establishes a directed adjacency matrix from the employment unit to the doctoral degree awarding unit, and uses the theory and method of social network analysis to conduct quantitative analysis on the doctoral mutual employment network. The results show that: (1) PhD exchange network can explain discipline reputation and is a new indicator to measure discipline reputation; (2) From the perspective of employment behavior among colleges and universities, there is horizontal flow and downward flow between the head colleges and universities, and downward flow is mainly among the middle and lower colleges. There is a time lag between college talent recruitment and academic achievement output. Therefore, the mining of the structural characteristics and network evolution trend of the PhD exchange network based on the "foot voting" of doctoral graduates is faster than the discipline ranking based on the follow-up achievement indicators to reflect the changes in the discipline quality, which can be used to warn the changes in the discipline quality.
New engineering construction is a major education reform action to promote the high-quality development of engineering education. By analyzing the relationship between technological innovation and engineering education, the development path of engineering education at home and abroad is analyzed in this paper. And the challenges and development trends of China’s new engineering education are investigated. Then, exploration and practice of New Engineering Education in Chongqing University is introduced. Studies indicate that the deep integration of talent chain, innovation chain and industrial chain should be actively promoted for the construction of new engineering in colleges and universities. And, innovation and entrepreneurship education should be promoted for the field of engineering education. Through gathering innovative resources and stimulate innovation vitality, the innovative theory should be translated into practice in engineering education and the important historical opportunity of national rise should be grasped.
The national discipline construction system adhering to the idea of “key discipline construction” has a profound impact on the overall development of Chinese universities. According to different historical periods, the national discipline construction system can be divided into three stages, namely, the “pan-discipline construction” period from 1949 to 1982, the period of “key discipline construction” from 1983 to 2013 and the period of “first-class discipline construction” from 2014 to now. The formation of the national key discipline construction system is the result of rational creation, the accumulation of legitimacy in effectiveness is the main experience of its operation, and the policy learning mechanism promotes its gradual improvement. Through semi-structured interviews with 31 experts and scholars, the effect of the national key discipline construction system can be classified into two categories. The first is that the discipline grows faster obviously and has a driving effect on other disciplines. The second is the solidification of the discipline and the extrusion of other disciplines.
Knowledge-based theory emphasizes the core position of knowledge in the organization and the decisive role of heterogeneous knowledge governance in organizational development, which has important implications for the construction of modern industrial colleges. From the perspective of knowledge-based theory, modern industrial colleges can be regarded as typical knowledge-intensive organizations. The knowledge source strategy is the fundamental driving force for the development of modern industrial colleges, and the knowledge communication process shaped by the sharing, integration, creation and transformation of knowledge constitutes the knowledge logic of the operation of modern industrial colleges. In order to form a knowledge governance pattern of multi center coordination and co governance, we should build a strong connection network structure of modern industrial colleges, strengthen trust based on contracts and improve the coordination guarantee mechanism, so as to better promote the flow and innovation of knowledge in modern industrial colleges.
This article reports a study that explores the cultural background of technical higher education in Germany in the 19th century. It puts forward the concept of industrial technical culture, which opens a new horizon for the research of German higher technical education. This paper takes the development of technical higher education as a clue to analyze the relationship between German technical education and industrial technical culture by digging the development process of German higher technical education. It believes that technical education is not only the product of industrial technical culture, but also the promoter of industrial technical culture.
