Applied-Information Technology in the Relationship Research between Industry Structure and Discipline Structure of Higher Education in Fujian Province of China

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the relationship between the industry structure and discipline structure of higher education in Fujian province of China. It draws on the data about the industry structure from the Fujian Statistical Yearbook (2005-2012) and the data about the discipline structure from Fujian Education Statistical Yearbook (1949-2012). After correlation analysis and comparison analysis between the industry structure in the GDP value and the labor in Fujian Province from 2005-2012 and the discipline structure in Fujian’s universities and colleges from2005-2012, this article concludes that the industry structure decides the discipline structure of higher education in a district and the discipline structure also affects the industry structure, and for the universities and colleges in Fujian Province, they should pay more attention to the development of engineering programs, increase the enrollment of them and relatively decrease the enrollment of the art students.

An empirical study on the correlation between university discipline and industrial structure in the Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao greater bay area

“…In general, there is a lack of literature in the English language featuring such correlation analysis. One reasonable explanation is that university discipline classification in China is strong, and the disciplinary boundaries are clear, whereas, in the case of countries such as the USA, the university discipline organization is much more open (Li and Xie, 2011). However, there are some studies on international cases in the Chinese language, such as Wang et al (2016) taking the case of the USA, and Liu and Wang (2016) taking the cases of the USA, UK and Japan from a historical perspective.…”

Coordination between University Discipline Structure and Industrial Structure
