Zhihong Yang, Yong Wang

The core and key of the “Excellent Engineer Program” of the Ministry of Education in China is to improve the students’ engineering consciousness and engineering quality and cultivate the students’ engineering practical ability and innovative capability, which is based on society demands and engineering needs. This paper is a case study of the “Excellent Engineer Program” experimental class of Shandong University. An ability centric model for education system optimization in mechanical engineering is put forward. Through five years’ practice of improving the educational concept, optimizing the program of talent cultivation, strengthening the cooperation with the enterprises and transforming the teaching methods, it has preliminary formed the relatively integrated system of excellent engineer education, which is oriented toward practical and innovative ability
