Abstract: This paper addresses the quality enhancement of graduate theses in mining engineering, systematically analyzing problems such as outdated research topics, methodological limitations, and the disconnection between academia and industry. It proposes that a systemic reform throughout the entire training process is essential. Key measures include establishing a topic selection mechanism driven by both academic frontiers and industrial demands, strengthening training in modern research methods and academic norms, and deepening industry-academia integration characterized by“university-enterprise collaboration”and “real-world problem solving”. Taking the practice of Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology as a case study, the paper demonstrates an effective pathway of leveraging regional industrial resources, transforming practical engineering challenges into research topics, and achieving an innovation loop through deep university-enterprise cooperation. This provides an operable practical model for reforming the training paradigm of engineering graduate students.
