In the process of cultivating technical talents, elite liberal arts college adheres to the school philosophy of liberal arts education and engineering education, attaches importance to the construction of capacity training system based on engineering practice and professional certification, and adopts the student-centered multi-teaching method to construct education ecosystem based on interdisciplinary entrepreneurship. The experience of cultivating applied technical talents in the elite liberal arts college has important implications for the construction of high-level application-oriented university in China.
