Abstract
To solve the bottleneck problem of the disconnect between the supply of high-level applied talents in the field of mechanical engineering in Guangxi and the demand for regional industrial clusters, this study focuses on Guangxi’s characteristic industrial clusters such as automobiles, engineering machinery, and agricultural equipment, and proposes strategies to optimize the master’s training mode of mechanical engineering in Guangxi. On the demand side, through research on 52 enterprises such as Liugong and Yuchai, the core competency gaps for master’s talents in the field of mechanical engineering in Guangxi were identified, such as intelligent equipment research and development and cross-border technology adaptation; On the supply side, a three chain collaborative training model of “industry chain innovation chain education chain” is constructed, and a three in one training framework of “characteristic courses+industry education practice+international expansion” is designed to provide a systematic solution for the western region to solve the dilemma of “talent supply lagging behind industrial upgrading”.
