And the professional system is more perfect, the quality of professional connotation is obviously improved, and the full coverage of the professional water conservancy majors is basically realized. A group of high-quality specialty brands represented by water conservancy engineering and management, have played a leading role in the similar institutions in Shandong Province and even the whole country, thus forming a professional group of “water conservancy characteristics and engineering advantages”. It provides a strong talent support for the development of modern water conservancy and regional economy.

With the reform of the cooperative development mechanism and innovation of the talent fostering model, the college insists on the school-enterprise cooperation as the key path for improving the quality of talent fostering. It has successively carried out in-depth cooperation with well-known large and medium-sized enterprises such as China Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering No. 13 Engineering Co., Ltd., Rizhao Port Group Co., Ltd., Shandong Wuzheng Group and JD Group. The school-enterprise talent fostering system of “major and curriculum co-construction, teaching materials co-editing, co-training of teachers, sharing of workshops, and talent co-education” was constructed.
