Abstract

To satisfy the demands of major national strategic projects including digital twin river basins and national water networks, and address the prominent dilemmas in traditional postgraduate education of water conservancy engineering, such as ambiguous training objectives, fragmented curriculum systems, single practical platforms, limited evaluation mechanisms, and inflexible faculty structures, this paper proposes a five-in-one interdisciplinary integrated training model covering training objectives, curriculum system, practice platform, assessment mechanism, and teaching staff. By orienting to industrial needs to refine interdisciplinary training goals, rebuilding modular cross-curriculum systems, constructing diversified practical platforms, establishing multi-dimensional evaluation systems, and forming cross-field collaborative supervisor teams, the model aims to transform talent cultivation from single-discipline technical professionals to “water conservancy + X” interdisciplinary compound talents. It provides a feasible path for the educational reform of master students majoring in water conservancy engineering under the new engineering background, and supports the digital transformation of the water conservancy sector and the guarantee of national water security.
