The Curriculum System of the Gemmology and Materials Technology Major under the Engineering Education Professional Accreditation System

Based on the common problems existing in the major of gemmology and materials technology, this study explored the corresponding relationship between the curriculum system and graduation requirements of the major of gemmology and materials technology under the background of engineering education professional accreditation. The study indicated that the curriculum development of the major of gemmology and materials technology requires constructing a curriculum system based on the framework. This system should establish 3 main lines-natural gems and jade materials, synthetic gems and jade materials and precious metal materials, which can highlight both the coverage breadth and the professional characteristics of the curriculum. The mathematics, natural science, engineering courses and the other professional courses set up around the above 3 main lines can provide strong support for the achivement of graduation requirements, and the follow-up supervision feedback and continuous improvement mechanism ensure the sustainability of the curriculum reform, which can provide reference for specially designed majors of materials program to obtain engineering education accreditation.
