Abstract

In modern society,the relations between science and technology,humanity and engineering are becoming closer and closer.As a result,it is urgent and important for engineering education to be connected and integrated with sci-tech and humanity education in order to enhance its own development and reformation.First of all,the curriculum for engineering education should,on the basis of absorbing those of science and technology education,become generalized,integrated and compound.Then,we should pay attention to the epochal,cultural and special characteristics of the combination of humanity education and engineering one and make them organically combined through practical measures to enrich its content and improve its quality as well.Next,we should find practical method for general education to realize the combination of sci-tech and humanity education in engineering education,and to make them better combined by learning the successful experience of STS one.At last,it is sci-tech and social development,the nature and characteristics of engineering education that help to turn engineering education into a lifelong one.
