Abstract

Materials and Chemical engineering has expanded into interdisciplinary fields such as energy, environment, biology, materials, electronics, and information. This expansion has increased the complexity of Materials and Chemical engineering problems and raised the demand for highly skilled professionals. To meet this demand and ensure the cultivation of high-quality applied talent, the construction of a scientifically sound comprehensive evaluation system for graduate students is particularly important. This paper focuses on graduate students in the field of Materials and Chemical Engineering and proposes a competency-based evaluation indicator system. This system, crucial in meeting the demand for high-quality applied talent, integrates the requirements for comprehensive development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor aspects, and designs evaluation indicators weighing from the perspectives of students' personal development and institutional management. As well as, a tripartite comprehensive training strategy is proposed, which involves shaping values, imparting knowledge, and developing competencies. It can comprehensively and scientifically assess the comprehensive abilities and qualities of graduate students, and meet the demand for applied talents in the field of materials and Materials and Chemical engineering. Through this approach, the graduate students' moral qualities, knowledge levels, and practical abilities have been cultivated well; thereby their competitiveness is enhanced in the field of Materials and Chemical Engineering. The interdisciplinary advantages of Materials engineering and Chemical engineering have been fully utilized, and a group of high-level applied talents who possess both moral character and capability have been cultivated by using the comprehensive evaluation of graduate students as the guiding principle, which provides talent support for the transformation, upgrading, and innovative development of the chemical new materials industry. These achievements fully demonstrate the effectiveness of the evaluation methods we provide and have certain reference values for graduate education. This study constructs a competency-based comprehensive evaluation system for graduate students in Materials and Chemical Engineering, combining students' individual development with the discipline's management. Due to the limitations of objective conditions, the project team will need to explore and research further in the next stage to optimize the accuracy of evaluation indicators and the weight allocation between different disciplines, as well as promote graduate student classification development through evaluation.
