Research on Faculty Development in Private Universities for Engineering Education
摘要
The “Excellence Initiative” 2.0 highlights the need for private universities to strengthen engineering faculty development to cultivate high-quality talents for technological and industrial demands. This study identifies key challenges including structural imbalances, limited career paths, and inadequate support systems. Effective strategies involve optimizing faculty composition through strategic recruitment, implementing tiered professional development programs, enhancing teaching methodologies, and improving institutional support mechanisms. A civil engineering case demonstrates successful implementation, achieving 41.38% dual-qualified teachers. The findings emphasize that comprehensive faculty development is essential for improving engineering education quality and supporting regional economic growth.
