Identification and Influencing Factor Analysis of the Multi-level Innovation Ability of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Graduate Students Based on the Career EDGE Model

Abstract: In the context of the new engineering discipline, the cultivation of the innovation ability of civil and hydraulic engineering graduate students is of great importance. This paper conducts a "multi-level" identification of the innovation ability of civil and hydraulic engineering graduate students based on the Career EDGE model and deeply analyzes its influencing factors. By constructing a structural equation model of innovation ability, satisfaction, and influencing factors, the paper explores the mechanism of the influence of university factors, school-enterprise cooperation factors, social factors, and management factors on innovation ability, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for improving the innovation ability of civil and hydraulic engineering graduate students.
