Guided by international advanced education concept and theories, MPI mainly focuses on “Rooting in Macao and cultivating engineers with international competitiveness” and “Close connection between talent cultivation and industry demand”, and builds talent cultivation mode of fostering internationally-recognised engineers in line with features of the programmes of computing science.
