Demand of professionals
The research objects of modern earth science include the physical, chemical and biological processes of the interaction between the earth's spheres (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, etc.). ), the relationship between man and land, the interaction and influence between man and environment, and the coordinated development strategy between man and resources, disasters and sustainable development. This requires the talents we train to have extensive and solid knowledge at the technical level and the ability to constantly update their knowledge.
Judging from the meeting between supply and demand of graduates in recent years, the current market demand for geological engineering professionals is:
Technical level: with keen observation ability and ability to analyze and solve problems; Have solid basic theoretical knowledge; Master new technologies and methods.
Humanistic level: having extensive social communication skills; Have a good psychological quality.
Ideological level: with firm professional thinking.
Physical level: physical health.
Although the above requirements of the market for graduates are the most basic, the students currently cultivated are far from the social requirements of "high quality", and the market requirements for graduates' high quality have not been fully reflected. With the internationalization of market competition after China's entry into WTO, it is believed that the demand for high-quality students will be closer and closer in the future.
Demand analysis
Because geological engineering involves a wide range of national economic construction fields, there are many economic construction projects at present, which develop rapidly, creating a good employment environment for graduates. Under the current situation that it is difficult for college students to find jobs, the employment situation of geological engineering students is still very good, and the development momentum is relatively strong, which has formed a good situation that demand exceeds supply in the country.
Demand prospect
After China's entry into WTO, with the internationalization of market competition, a large number of foreign technical forces will continuously enter China. The geological engineering technicians we have trained have to face the pressure of international competition. At the same time, the development of China's national economy requires geological engineering majors to train high-quality talents to meet the needs of economic construction.
According to the data, with the completion of a large number of infrastructure construction and the expansion of urban construction scale in China, the talents engaged in basic engineering construction will show a downward trend, and the demand for talents in the geological and mineral industry will increase greatly in the next 10 year. At the same time, the trend of railway construction has been strengthened in recent years, and the demand for talents is promising. The demand for talents in exploration institutes is increasing steadily, while the demand for engineering geology talents in other industries is weakening, and the demand for geotechnical drilling engineering and technical talents is increasing. It is worth noting that the water conservancy and hydropower industry has always been a big demand for geological engineering professionals, and it is also an important direction for the future development of geological engineering professionals.
General situation of similar professional education at home and abroad
In foreign countries, many universities have set up the same or similar majors as geological engineering, engaged in underground resources exploration, geotechnical engineering investigation, design, construction and corresponding management.
Countries with similar majors abroad are:
(1) St. Petersburg University of Mining and Technology, Moscow University of Mining and Technology, Tomsk University of Technology, etc. ;
(2) colorado school of mines of the University of Louisiana and the Institute of Mining Industry of New Mexico;
(3) Bochum University in Germany;
(4) Donetsk University of Technology, Dnepro University of Technology, Ukraine.
In addition, many universities in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary and other eastern European countries have also set up similar majors.
These universities train a considerable number of scientific and technological experts engaged in resource exploration, geotechnical drilling construction, oil and gas drilling, offshore drilling engineering and polar drilling every year. In foreign countries, many universities have set up the same or similar majors as engineering geology and prospecting engineering (geotechnical drilling engineering), engaged in underground resources exploration, oil and gas drilling, offshore drilling engineering, polar drilling, geotechnical engineering investigation, design, construction and corresponding management.
Present situation of training quality of geological engineering professionals
The two major directions of geological engineering specialty are primary engineering geology specialty and prospecting engineering specialty, both of which are relatively old and have a school history of more than half a century. In the long-term process of running a school, it has a complete faculty and scientific research force, advanced experimental equipment and instruments, and rich experience in running a school. All schools have formed their own distinctive characteristics in the long-term running process; At the same time, it has a relatively complete teaching setup and a complete discipline system, pays attention to teaching research and teaching reform, constantly reforms its own curriculum system, adjusts the professional training plan in time according to the changes in social demand for talents, greatly adjusts the geological engineering specialty, broadens the discipline foundation, and adds geotechnical engineering design, geotechnical engineering investigation, geotechnical engineering construction, engineering geology, building foundation engineering construction, geological disaster evaluation and prevention, underground mineral drilling and utilization, trenchless construction and other specialties. At present, students have basically achieved the comprehensive training objectives of survey, design, construction, management and supervision, which have been well received by employers.
Training mode of geological engineering professionals
Due to the expanding research and application scope in the field of geological engineering, the talent training mode of geological engineering specialty is also changing. Today's society needs more compound talents with strong foundation, wide specialty, strong ability, emphasis on application, innovative spirit and strong adaptability. Therefore, the talent training mode of geological engineering specialty should take this as the criterion. The so-called "thick foundation" requires students to systematically and comprehensively master the basic knowledge of geology, engineering geology, mechanics, computer foundation and related majors; "Wide major" means that students should not only study related courses of engineering geology and geotechnical drilling engineering, but also master other conventional exploration techniques and methods, and have professional knowledge such as comprehensive analysis of engineering geology, survey design, construction design, geotechnical engineering construction and geotechnical engineering improvement; "Strong ability" strengthens the cultivation of students' basic skills and abilities.
In view of the development prospect of geological engineering specialty, the research field of this specialty is constantly expanding, and the cross-infiltration between disciplines is constantly strengthening, which requires that the knowledge field of geological engineering professionals must be broadened in the future. Through close international cooperation and social development, colleges and universities have made some important adjustments in training programs and curriculum settings. The development trend of geological engineering specialty at the technical level is reflected in the following aspects:
After the integration of engineering geology and geotechnical drilling and excavation engineering (now "geological engineering" major), it broadens students' horizons, broadens their knowledge, enhances their comprehensive ability to solve practical problems, and makes the future survey and design more reasonable and scientific.
Introducing modern technologies such as computer and information technology into the course will greatly improve the work efficiency of students after graduation.
Knowledge of design, construction, monitoring and environmental management has been added to the course, so that students can understand the whole process of geological engineering work, truly realize multi-disciplinary integration, embody the new curriculum concept of "less, new and refined", gradually move closer to the western training mode and enhance students' adaptability.
Judging from the long-term demand for talents, the demand for comprehensive quality of talents will be higher and higher. Therefore, education must put the cultivation of people's comprehensive quality in the first place, pursue the all-round development of talents, establish a new talent training model suitable for China's national conditions, and strengthen education in innovation ability, excellent personality and personal potential. Taking quality education as the core and professional basic skills training as the focus, it not only solves the employment problem of students, but also improves their comprehensive quality.
The goal of talent training in the undergraduate stage of geological engineering specialty is: take the country's prosperity, national rejuvenation and human progress as its own responsibility, cultivate the geological engineering cause of the motherland, develop morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically in an all-round way, have a healthy and harmonious personality, have extensive and solid basic knowledge, systematically train the professional skills and practical skills of geological engineering, establish preliminary scientific thinking and innovative thinking methods, and cultivate comprehensive engineering and technical personnel with the ability to discover, analyze and solve problems.

Most of the students majoring in geological engineering are enriched to the front line of production and scientific research, a few enter higher-level graduate students, and some enter scientific research institutes. According to different fields of talent service, different training programs and training objectives should be formulated to effectively implement the requirements of social and economic development for talent diversity. You can consider making a training plan in two or three stages.
Geological engineering-let the project stand after ten years of wind and rain
Geological engineering is a major that studies the mutual restriction between human engineering activities and geological environment. It mainly studies how to obtain geological environment conditions, analyzes and studies the forms of mutual restriction between human engineering activities and geological environment, and then studies the understanding, evaluation, transformation and protection of geological environment. In recent years, with the vigorous development of China's infrastructure, geological engineering has attracted much attention.
The major of geological engineering in my university has two directions, namely, engineering geology direction and geotechnical drilling and excavation engineering direction. This major is a four-year undergraduate program, awarded with a bachelor's degree in engineering. The engineering geological direction takes the engineering geological direction as the advantage, focusing on solving geological engineering problems and geotechnical engineering technical problems related to various engineering construction. The direction of geotechnical drilling and excavation engineering lays a broad foundation for students from geology, soil mechanics, rock mechanics, basic engineering design and construction, geotechnical drilling and excavation equipment and technology, and pays attention to practical links, so that the trained students have the ability to study and solve practical problems in geological engineering and geotechnical engineering.
In terms of curriculum, these two directions are similar, such as engineering mechanics, geotechnical mechanics, engineering geology and so on. Depending on their employment orientation, geological engineering (engineering geology) will also study mineral petrology, structural geology and other courses, while geological engineering (geotechnical drilling and excavation engineering) will study soil mechanics, basic engineering design and construction, geotechnical drilling and excavation equipment and technology and other courses. In terms of employment, the former fields are mainly geotechnical engineering and basic engineering, water conservancy and electric power survey and design, traffic planning survey and design, metallurgical mine engineering, construction engineering design and construction supervision, real estate and property management, and the employment situation is good; The latter mainly includes engineering survey, basic design, construction and management in the fields of municipal administration, transportation, water conservancy, geology, oil and gas, as well as design and production enterprises and scientific research institutes related to geotechnical drilling and excavation machinery.
At present, the demand for geological resources in China society and even in the world is increasing, the attention to geological environment and safety is increasing, the scale and quantity of engineering construction are expanding, and the demand for geological engineering specialty will increase in the future, so the development prospect of geological engineering specialty is good. But correspondingly, the employment environment of geological engineering is more difficult and the work task is heavier, so boys have more advantages than girls in employment. Perhaps because of employment considerations, the number of female students in this major is relatively small. Taking my grade as a reference, the male-female ratio of engineering geology is about 8: 1, and the male-female ratio of rock and soil drilling is even more disparity, which is 16: 1.
