Abstract:It is a new issue for Chinese higher education to develop applied technology colleges, which aim at solving the problem of orientation of the newlyfounded undergraduate colleges and optimizing the structure of Chinese higher education. Now the applied technology college has a lot of work to do: its connotation and standard of evaluation should be identified very clearly, the outdated ideas of university should be changed completely, and righthand leadership of the school should be chosen timely. It is especially necessary to open up the running mechanism of the university and respond to the demands of social economy development and the market.newlyfounded undergraduate college; applied technology college; transformational development
