社会经济形态对高级工程技术人才素养构成需求不断发生变化。本文以机械类专业毕业生为例,通过问卷调研其就业情况,了解社会生产形式与社会职业分工的变化对人才知识与能力新的要求。高等工程教育理应为其将来的职业发展道路提供更多的可能和多样化的选择,尊重个体差异,因人施教、因需求学。受教育者自身应拓宽专业口径,努力成为应用型工程人才。 The demand for the quality of high-level engineering and technical personnel is constantly changing according to the social and economic patterns. In this paper, we take the mechanical graduates as an example to investigate the employment situation through the questionnaire to understand the new requirements on the knowledge and ability of talented people through the changes of social production forms and social occupations. Higher engineering education should provide more possible and diversified choices for its future career development, respect individual differences, teach people by reason, and demand for study. Educated themselves should broaden their professional caliber, and strive to become an application-oriented engineering talent.
