Abstract

The level of humanistic quality of science and engineering students is related to the rise and fall of a nation. This paper conducts a questionnaire survey on the current status of humanistic quality education for science and engineering students in five science and engineering universities in Shaanxi Province. From the perspective of students' cognition, it analyzes the existing problems in humanistic quality education and students' evaluations of current humanistic quality education, and proposes targeted implementation strategies for humanistic quality education, which has important practical significance for improving humanistic quality education in science and engineering institutions.
