A Study on the Competency Cultivation of Graduates from Applied Universities from the Perspective of Smart Cities

Abstract

With the rapid development of smart cities, higher education is facing new challenges and opportunities. The cultivation of applied college graduates has always been a focus of attention in the education industry, and its essence is a higher requirement for student competence. In the context of smart cities, society's expectations for graduates are not only limited to knowledge and academic abilities but also urgently require talents with practical and adaptable abilities. Hence, the objective of this research is to investigate methods for enhancing the development of competencies in graduates from applied universities within the context of smart cities. This includes the revision of training programs, enhancement of practical teaching, and coordination of various resources. These efforts are aimed at aligning with the evolving and intricate social requirements, and offering innovative concepts and strategies for nurturing graduates who are better equipped to fulfill the developmental demands of smart cities. We hope to establish an open, integrated, and diverse education system to cultivate graduates who are more adaptable to social needs and possess practical competence.
