What Are the Different Types of Engineering Qualifications?

Master of Engineering is a type of professional master's degree, which is a professional degree in engineering, which is divided into full-time engineering master and part-time engineering master. It is at the same level as the Master of Engineering degree with an academic master's degree, but with different types and different emphasis.

Master of Engineering

The Master of Engineering education was proposed in 1984. In 1997, the Degree Committee of the State Council approved the establishment of a master's degree in engineering. It has gone through a period from pilot to establishing a training mode for engineering masters. Since the establishment of a talent training model, the Master of Engineering education has grown from 9 training units, 10 engineering fields, and more than 1,000 annual enrollments to 180 training units, 38 engineering fields, and more than 30,000 annual enrollments in 2004. More than 100,000 students and students. Our Master of Engineering education was born during the transformation of China's economic system. It is not only produced in response to social needs, but also an inevitable result of the development of graduate education. Practice has proved that the professional master's degree in engineering is a type of degree and talent training specifications suitable for China's national conditions. Judging from the development momentum, the master of engineering education is full of vitality. Implemented today

Difference between Master of Engineering (part-time and full-time) and full-time engineering master

First, the concepts are different

The full-time master of engineering refers to participating in the nationwide unified entrance examination for masters held in December. After admission, after full-time study at school, a graduation certificate and a degree certificate are obtained after graduation. The graduation certificate is the same as the master of engineering.

Part-time Master of Engineering, after the educational reform of the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Education on Coordinating the Management of Full-time and Part-time Graduate Students at the end of 2016, enrolling candidates for the first unified enrollment. Conditions can participate in campus recruitment, graduation tripartite, dispatch certificate, etc., enjoy the same rights as full-time masters.

At the same time, some of them also participated in the nationwide unified recruitment of graduate students in October. After on-the-job study (must study in schools for more than 6 months during the study period), they obtained master's degrees in engineering and graduate diplomas. A professional degree. Similar masters of education, master of law, master of agricultural extension and so on.

Second, the test time is different

The Master of Engineering and the Master of Engineering (full-time) are candidates for the National Unified Examination for Masters in December. The Master of Engineering (part-time) has a unified enrollment for the December National Unified Examination for Graduate Admissions. There is also a unified admissions test for in-service graduate students held in October (part-time students also participate in the January unified test and obtain a dual certificate).

Education system

The master of engineering (full-time) focuses on academic theory and practice; the master of engineering focuses on academic theory and application; the master of engineering (part-time) focuses on academic practice. Master of Engineering and Master of Engineering belong to a unified education system, but the types are different ^[2]

ME Exam 2013

Application conditions

Part-time professional master's degree application requirements vary depending on the specialty category. Generally, in-service graduate applicants should be graduates of national education or above with a bachelor's degree or above and obtain a graduation certificate (generally a degree certificate). Staff, most professional degrees also require in-service staff to apply for examinations with the consent of the unit or the corresponding management department, and some even require the unit to recommend and so on.

However, there are exceptions. For example, starting in 2009, Master of Agricultural Extension, Master of Veterinary Medicine, and Master of Landscape Architecture also enrolled fresh graduates. In addition, in-service graduate candidates in the fields of electronics and communication engineering, control engineering, and computer technology in the Master of Engineering application Nor is it limited by the number of years of graduation.

2. Registration method

1.Introduction to language skills

Part of the knowledge background involves natural science, humanities and social science knowledge, including philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, management and other disciplines. On the basis of testing the broad knowledge of candidates, the test of the thinking methods formed by the candidates in their study and practice is emphasized, and the test of acquiring knowledge and the ability of expression is emphasized.

Levels of language expression ability Language expression ability is divided into four levels from low to high, which are recognition, understanding, understanding and application, and the higher level requirements cover the lower level requirements.

2. Introduction to Mathematical Basic Ability Test

The knowledge involved in the basic mathematical ability test includes: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, unary calculus and linear algebra.

(1) Arithmetic

The concept and nature of numbers, four operations and applications.

(2) Algebra

Transformation and calculation of algebraic and inequalities. Including: real and complex numbers; powers and square roots; algebraic expressions and factorizations; solutions to equations; inequalities; mathematical induction, sequences; binomial theorems, permutations, combinations, and probabilities.

(3) Geometry

Calculation and use of angles, perimeters, and areas of plane geometric figures such as triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons; calculation and use of surface area and volume of various standard solid figures such as cuboids, cubes, and cylinders; trigonometry; and analysis Knowledge of geometry.

(4) Unary Calculus

(5) Linear algebra

3. Introduction to logical reasoning test

The topics cover a wide range of background knowledge in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, but are not a test of specific professional knowledge in a specific field, but an examination of the logical reasoning ability of candidates, that is, an examination of candidates' use of common sense, skills, vocabulary, etc The ability to reason and solve problems. Specifically, given the arbitrary relationship structure among people, places, and events, candidates are required to understand these relationships and obtain new information to make correct judgments. Each topic includes a description of related relationships and conditions, and a question.

4. The topics are divided into six categories:

(1) Determine conclusion type from premise

The given conditions given in the questions are prerequisites, and candidates are required to choose logical conclusions among alternative answers.

(2) Finding the premise from the conclusion

Questions give conclusions, asking candidates to look for alternative premises to reach this conclusion.

(3) Strengthen the premise

There are premise and conclusion in the stem, but the premise in the stem is not enough to draw conclusions. Candidates are required to find supplementary premise in alternative answers to draw conclusions in the stem.

(4) Rebuttal

The first three types are proved by reasoning. The premise in the original question is true, or the premise is fully true by supplementing the premise. Then, it can be deduced to prove that the conclusion is necessarily true, or that the conclusion is very likely to be true. Finding the premises from the conclusion is also a proof. Refutation can refute the thesis (the conclusion of reasoning), the argument (the premise of reasoning), and the method of argument (the form of reasoning).

(5) Analogy

There are mainly analogies of inference forms, analogies of logical errors, and analogies of logical methods.

(6) Semantic analysis

This type of question requires candidates to have a quick and accurate understanding, analysis and reasoning of the more complex content and meaning expressed in daily language.

4. Introduction to English Proficiency Test

The level of the English proficiency test proposition range is equivalent to the level that a non-English major graduate of a four-year university should achieve. The test focuses on the ability of candidates to use English, and requires candidates to be proficient in more than 4,000 English vocabulary and basic grammar content. Candidates must have certain reading, writing and oral conversation skills, as well as certain background knowledge in society, life and work.

Vocabulary and grammatical structure mainly test candidates' basic vocabulary and basic grammatical rules. The reading comprehension section mainly tests the English reading, comprehension, analysis and judgment ability of candidates. Candidates need to have a certain vocabulary, and have a certain reading speed and knowledge background. Of the four short essays, one is for popular science content, and the other is for China. The completion test is a test of the mastery of vocabulary and grammar. The grammar content includes articles, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, participles, infinitives, clauses, tenses, voices, inverted and virtual . At the same time, candidates need to have certain reading comprehension skills. The ratio of vocabulary to grammar is 1: 2. Conversation skills test the ability of candidates to use English for daily conversations. These conversations involve common situations in life. They test the ability to understand conversational situations, grasp the role of interlocutors, and master spoken English.

According to the relevant regulations of the National Degrees Office (the Office of the State Council s Degree Committee), candidates who have a valid GCT score (valid for two years) in the current year may not apply for admission to any of the engineering master training units if they are not admitted to the school that year. In the second year, I participated in the professional course examinations and related tests of the training unit. Those who pass the test and meet the admission requirements of the training unit can officially join the school (generally referred to as "adjustment" or "transcription").

Basic requirements for transfer qualification:

1. For students who participated in the 2007 or 2008 in-service master's degree examination (mainly candidates who took the GCT exam, the results in 2007 are valid in 2008, and the results in 2008 are valid until 2009), and the original transcripts are held.

2. Those who have not been accepted by the school that year, or those who have been accepted by the school but have not yet registered (there should be a certificate of withdrawal from the school).

3. There was no violation of discipline in the year of the exam (the one with a valid score).

4. In principle, it is best to have a degree (most schools do not accept non-degree transfers).

Note: The results of college teachers and landscape gardens are valid for the year and cannot be adjusted.

Since 2010, the Degree Office of the Ministry of Education has introduced a new policy on the transfer of masters of engineering:

1. The validity period of GCT results is changed from two years to one year;

2. The scope of the transfer has also been changed across the country to not be transferred across provinces (municipalities).

1. Is the full-time Master of Engineering the same as the GCT Master of Engineering?

Different. The full-time engineering master is to make up for the shortcomings of academic masters and to replace the academic masters. It has the "double certificate" (graduation certificate, degree certificate) treatment. The training requires schools to have a practice base, which is higher than the original academic masters. To be expensive, it requires more training time than the GCT Engineering Master and an important postgraduate certificate at the time of graduation, so it is higher than the GCT Engineering Master.

2. How can I get a degree?

After passing the GCT exam and the exam organized by the college, he officially entered the college.

It has met the basic requirements for the training of engineering masters, has completed credits, and passed the course exam.

Defend by dissertation. The time from dissertation opening to replying is generally not less than one and a half years. However, the maximum time from the beginning of enrollment to the defense of the dissertation is five years.

3. What degree is awarded

Nationally recognized official degree-Master of Engineering degree.

Does the master's degree indicate whether the student is studying full-time or part-time?

The master's degree certificate, as a certificate indicating the academic level achieved by the holder, does not indicate whether the study method is full-time or part-time.

4. Can I apply for cross-professional exams?

Yes, but you need a certificate from the organization (proving that the work you are doing is relevant to the major you are applying for).

5. Duration of study

The duration is 2-5 years, the general course is about 1-1.5 years, and the graduation project or thesis is about 1-1.5 years.

6. Tuition for Master of Engineering

Tuition fees are determined by each institution, and generally range from 25,000 to 40,000 yuan. This includes course fees and thesis tuition fees.

7. Can I apply for a master's degree in engineering without a bachelor's degree?

In principle, anyone who takes the GCT exam needs a bachelor's degree. However, from a policy perspective, candidates who do not have a bachelor's degree can still apply for the GCT. The main difficulty is in admission. According to the regulations, the number of students who have obtained a bachelor's degree from a national education sequence but have not obtained a bachelor's degree must not exceed 10% of the admission limit of the current year, and the colleges and universities determined by the number of admissions themselves must not exceed 10% of the total admissions.

If the training unit recruits engineering master students in the fields of water conservancy engineering, surveying and mapping engineering, geological engineering, mining engineering, oil and gas engineering, nuclear energy and nuclear technology engineering, industrial design engineering, agricultural engineering, forestry engineering, etc., and enrolls a university graduate with a national education sequence The proportion of people who graduated but did not have a bachelor's degree can be listed separately, but it must not exceed 20% of the number of people admitted in the field in that year.

The number of agricultural extension and veterinary masters who have accepted a bachelor's degree from a national education sequence without a bachelor's degree must not exceed 20% of the admission limit of the school that year, and the number of self-determined units must not exceed 20% of the total number of admissions.

8. What is the difference between Master of Engineering and Master of Engineering?

Keywords: single certificate and double certificate

The master's degree in engineering has different characteristics from the master's degree in engineering in terms of enrollment objects, training methods, and knowledge structure and capabilities. On-the-job masters of engineering only have a degree certificate without a diploma, while a master of engineering has a dual certificate.

9. What is the social recognition of the on-the-job engineering master?

Keywords: gold content

Because only the degree certificate is obtained by the working engineering master, the degree of market recognition of the working engineering master is slightly different.

Gu Wei, the project director of the senior training center of the Shanghai Jiaotong University's continuing education trainee training department, said that with the increase in the number of candidates in recent years, their recognition and job search status have gradually increased. Many companies no longer demand academic credentials, but are more concerned about professional degrees. The gold content of the certificate itself.

GCT Online

GCT Online (GCT Online) provides national candidates with 2013 GCT registration, test outline, test time, GCT score query, GCT real year analysis and online consulting services. It is hosted by the only country designated GCT test counseling agency.

Training method

Aiming at the characteristics of engineering masters, adopting special teaching methods is an exploration of the country's training of talents.
