Abstract: In order to further deepen the reform of the talent-cultivating mode for the graduate students majoring in Information and Communication Engineering (ICE), and constantly improve the ability of high-level talents cultivation, the connotation and elements of the talent-cultivating mode for graduate students are investigated first. Then opportunities and challenges of the talent-cultivating mode reform for the ICE graduate students are analyzed based on the characteristics and development trends of the ICE discipline. To address these challenges, the innovative talent-cultivating mode of “Double Division, Double Integration, Four in One” for the ICE graduate students is proposed. The main contents of this mode include the “Double Division” matrix cultivation system, the “Double Integration” characteristic education environment, and the “Four in One” three-wide education mechanism. To meet the large-scale demand for talents, the proposed mode focuses on the elaborate cultivation and differentiated learning, and achieves notable results on talent cultivation and applications. This mode effectively promotes the connotative development of the graduate education of the ICE discipline.
