In this paper we choose the learning situations of Tibetan students in Bozhou University as research objects, and compare and analyze those of Tibetan and Han students by questionnaire surveys. It is found that Tibetan engineering students neither fit into their campus life very well nor have clear study goals and plans, and their performance in engineering practice is generally less than satisfactory. Through analysis, we propose that teachers should change their teaching ideas by suiting their instructions to students’level and improving their training of hands-on ability; universities should vigorously promote teaching reforms by increasing the proportion of practice in teaching activities. In this way, Tibetan engineering students in China’s hinterland universities can improve their innovative and practical abilities so that they can better contribute to the development of Tibetan areas.
