Coop model for education was put forward and experimented by the University of Cincinnati in 1905. It is distinct as it provides practical work experience in enterprises at the undergraduate level. The practical work experience, oriented to cultivate applied skills with welldefined teaching requirements, is an important part of the university teaching plan. The current engineering education in China pays more attention to the imparting of professional knowledge than engineering practice and social practice. A unified teaching plan is used in many schools. In the age of machinery, a uniform education might be reasonable and effective, but today, society, industry and jobs are changing, and the requirements for people are also changing. What matters most for students today is not what they know, but whether they can think and act creatively. Education today is no longer imparting knowledge only, but to emancipate students’ minds and bring out their potentials, which requires schools to “teach students in accordance with their aptitude.” Making full use of the educational resources from enterprises and the society, Coop education makes it possible to cater to all abilities on a large scale. In the era of mass education, universities are no longer able to provide an individualized education, which would become possible if education is integrated into society. Therefore, universities should open the boundaries between disciplines, schools, and learning, look at education with a broader vision and mind, and provide students with unique learning and growth experiences, making full use of the rich educational resources in society. The enterprise practice of Coop education not only improves students’ professional skills, but also comprehensively improves their basic competence, abilities, independent thinking and capacity for innovation. In 2013, CQUUC Joint Coop Institute was established by Chongqing University and University of Cincinnati. The practice shows that when the education model inspires students’ ardor in learning and brings out their potential, students will educate themselves and we will get the real longawaited education. Coop education, realized by using social resources, is of special significance in China with its huge education scale.
