This paper focuses on the exploration of the relationship between the outstanding engineers training plan (OET) and the engineering education accreditation (EEA) based on the coupling theory. The necessity for the integration of the OET and EEA programs into the curriculum is analyzed. The mechanical design, manufacturing and automation discipline is taken as an example to illustrate the coupling point of the curriculum and procedures. A talent cultivation mode for the engineering application based on the coupling theory is then proposed. It is beneficial to the improvement of the students’ engineering ability.
Keywords: Coupling Theory, Engineering Education Accreditation, Mechanical Engineering, Outstanding Engineers Training Plan
