介绍了研究生教育的特点与作用，分析了工程图学研究生教育的现状，探讨了工程图学研究生教育的发展途径，阐述了研究生教育与学科发展的关系。工程图学与数学、物理等基础课相比较，没有相应的本科生，缺乏强大的学科背景，因此必须大力发展工程图学研究生教育，从而极大地促进学科发展，同时推进工程图学教学改革进程。 This paper introduces the characteristics and functions of postgraduate education, analyzes the present situation of postgraduate education in engineering graphics, explores the ways of development of postgraduate education in engineering graphics, and expounds the relationship between postgraduate education and subject development. Compared with the basic courses of mathematics and physics, there is no corresponding undergraduates and lack of strong academic background. Therefore, we must develop the graduate education of engineering graphics greatly, which will greatly promote the development of the subject and advance the process of the reform of the teaching of engineering graphics.
