Abstract

Since China launched ″A Plan for Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers″ in 2010,and further emphasized the need to strengthenthe National Outstanding Engineer Institute in the ″Education Power Construction Plan Outline(2024-2035)″ issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in 2025,China′s higher engineering education reform has been continuouslydeepened,with increasingly diversified training models.This study employs CiteSpace bibliometric analysis to systematically examine the current landscape,trends,and frontiers of research on outstanding engineer training in China,based on 541 CSSCI-indexed journal articles published from 2010 to 2025.The findings reveal a progressive evolution of research themes in this field,characterized by thesequence ″capability forging-system synergy-strategic embedding″. Disciplinary extension demonstrates a trend toward multidisciplinary integration under the dominance of engineering.Research methodologies are transitioning from being primarily qualitative to a composite paradigm of ″data-driven & logical construction″,while research perspectives are shifting from local practices toward international benchmarking.Concurrently,existing research faces several challenges,including shallow theoretical foundations,insufficient disciplinary integration,underdeveloped research paradigms,and ambiguous research characteristics.To address these issues,the study proposes that future research on excellent engineer training should strengthen its alignment with national development strategies,optimize existing practical pathways and evaluation criteria,and transform its paradigm from problem-solving to problem-discovery by overcoming the collaborationbottlenecks inherent in multidisciplinary integration.Methodologically,researchmust further advance toward integrated pathways.These efforts will ultimately contribute to forming an outstanding engineer training system with distinctive Chinese features,providing robust support for achieving the goal of building an education powerhouse and cultivating globally competitive engineering talents.
