Abstract

The disconnection between school education and social needs is the most common problem reflected by students and employers in architectural specialties of local colleges and universities in China. Taking architecture of Wuhan Polytechnic University as a representative, briefly introduce the overview and the shortcomings of architecture on practical teaching. Drawing lessons from the co-op education of University of Waterloo, Canada, which is internationally renowned for students' professional practical ability, some inspirations are discussed. It is necessary to change the original school-running thinking and educational thinking, make full use of social resources, and let practice out-of-school run through the whole learning stage. For this, we may start from the easy-to-implement campus arrangement, such as adjusting term time design.
