- Abstract
The current talent training system for the environmental engineering major (EEM) at local colleges faces significant challenges, including undefined training objectives, an incomplete curriculum, inconsistent practical teaching platforms, and homogeneous teaching teams. To address these issues, this study introduces the 'Four Styles' cultivation system implemented at the EEM of Hubei Polytechnic University. This system integrates advanced environmental remediation technologies into environmental engineering education through the development of a '1 + multiple' curriculum, the establishment of 'cloud + field' practical platforms, and the formation of a diverse '1 + 2' teaching team. The effectiveness of this system was evaluated using self-assessment scores from graduates and employer satisfaction ratings. Results showed that graduates rated their application ability with an average score of 3.96 ± 0.11, with the highest scores in work ethics (4.14), lifelong self-learning (4.11), and teamwork (4.09). Employer satisfaction with graduates' abilities averaged 81.6 ± 2.33%, with the highest ratings for work ethics (86.0%), teamwork (85.5%), and lifelong self-learning (84.7%) Despite these successes, areas for improvement were identified, including better training in analyzing engineering problems (3.79) and mastering modern tools (3.79). These findings suggest that the 'Four Styles' cultivation system effectively enhances the practical skills of EEM students while identifying areas for future curriculum development.
