Abstract

In view of the obvious discipline barriers and insufficient innovation ability training in the training of traditional master's degree students in water conservancy projects, it is difficult to adapt to the emerging development needs of intelligent water conservancy, ecological water conservancy and other industries. This paper explores the path of cultivating innovative talents based on multidisciplinary cross-integration, so as to provide support for improving the training quality of master's degree students in water conservancy projects and meeting the high-quality development needs of the industry. Based on the core orientation of multi-disciplinary cross-integration, combined with the characteristics of water conservancy engineering discipline and the law of postgraduate training, this paper constructs a multi-dimensional cross-training path framework by using logical induction method, and clearly puts forward the four-dimensional training path of ' modular reconstruction of curriculum system-cross-domain co-construction of practice platform-cooperative empowerment of teacher team-diversification of evaluation mechanism '. The curriculum system covers interdisciplinary modules such as water conservancy project, agricultural engineering and civil engineering. The practice platform adopts the trinity mode of interdisciplinary scientific research platform, school-enterprise collaborative practice base and interdisciplinary scientific research project. The teacher team adopts the double tutorial system of ' interdisciplinary tutor + enterprise technical tutor '. The evaluation mechanism takes into account both academic ability and engineering innovation effectiveness. The construction of a multi-disciplinary cross-integration training path can effectively break the disciplinary limitations of the traditional training model, improve the interdisciplinary knowledge integration ability and innovative practice ability of the master's degree candidates in water conservancy engineering, and meet the needs of the industry transformation and upgrading for compound talents. It can provide a practical plan for the reform of master's training in water conservancy engineering and related engineering majors.
