A Research on the Training Status of EECS Students' Core Competency in University of Science and Technology

The objectives of this study are to explore the core competency content of EECS (electrical engineering & computer science) students, as well as the current situation of training. In addition, first-year students from the college of electrical engineering & computer science of a university of technology underwent questionnaire surveys before and after the semester. There were 271 effective questionnaire copies, accounting for the effective recovery rate of 84.7%. Targeting the survey results, paired sample t-test analysis was carried out. Research findings show that the college of electrical engineering & computer science students showed remarkable improvement after the semester in terms of their competency in experiment design, execution competency, data analysis, and explanation. The results showed a considerable a little decrease but without significant difference in competencies such as professional ethics and social responsibility comprehension, work ethics and attitude cultivation, and mathematics, science, and engineering knowledge applications. We should assist students to strengthen these abilities.
