Abstract: With the implementation of the maritime power strategy of China, the connotation of the marine surveying and mapping discipline has undergone profound changes. The new engineering characteristics of the discipline have been significantly enhanced, which raises higher requirements for the practical ability cultivation of the discipline. In order to solve the problem of lack of practical and scientific innovation ability of marine surveying and mapping students, which does not meet the needs of production and scientific research, based on the construction of a three-step progressive training process of laboratory+experimental field+marine survey site, we advocate practice docking practical combat, scientific and technological innovation facing the forefront, strengthen integration of production and education, science and education integration, and carry out “undergraduate leading+graduate counselling+teacher guiding+production supervising” four guide task driven practical teaching, practice a new model of scientific and technological innovation and education through the tripartite collaboration of “school+institute+enterprise” and the four level linkage of “teacher+doctor+master+undergraduate”, effectively improving the practical innovation ability of marine surveying and mapping students.

Key words: marine surveying and mapping, training of practical innovation ability, integration of production with education, integration of science and education
