In September last year, byThe marine engineering teacher team led by Academician Li Huajun of Ocean University of China was selected as the third batch of "Huang Danian-style Teacher Team of National Universities".It has added a new footnote to the engineering movement of "rejuvenating the sea with industry and leading the future".
Just like a ship chasing dreams of deep blue, the team aims at major national strategies and regional development needs, continues to build a training base for marine engineering talents, and forms a team of teachers led by academicians, "outstanding young people", "Yangtze River scholars", and four young talents as the backbone, with outstanding doctors at home and abroad as the main body, echelon convergence and sustainable development.
As the leader, Li Huajun led the team to sail in the blue sea of marine engineering step by step and pursue their dreams.

Modern ocean engineering is a multidisciplinary field, which not only includes the traditional structural design of marine engineering, but also covers multiple types of science and technology oriented by informatization, intelligence and greening. Over the years, the team has continuously optimized the construction of the discipline team, forming a multidisciplinary cross-integration layout with marine engineering as the main body and "electromechanical" and "automation" as the two wings, ranking among the best in the discipline construction of water conservancy engineering and ocean engineering in China. 
The top-level design of the high-level discipline team by the team of the Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering can be traced back to around 2000. At that time, research on marine structural health monitoring and vibration control was in full swing, and Li Huajun's students Wang Shuqing and Liang Bingchen were all interested in it. However, Li Huajun decided to explore the direction of environmental dynamics of marine engineering based on production practice and discipline development prospects, and jointly guided Liang Bingchen with experts in related fields at home and abroad to fully explore the theory and application methods of environmental elements such as hydrology and meteorology in the context of marine engineering. After more than 20 years of dedicated research, Liang Bingchen was named Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professor and served as the Dean of the School of Engineering. Wang Shuqing became a distinguished professor of Taishan Scholars in Shandong Province and a winner of the National Outstanding Young Scholar, he concluded: "Academicians have rich experience in engineering practice, broad ideas and vision, and are more able to grasp where the frontier of science is." ”Create a talent highland and empower scientific and technological innovation. The team has delivered a large number of leading talents and backbone forces for China's marine industry, including 5 people who have won the "Outstanding Young Scholars", 1 person who has been selected into the "Changjiang Scholars Award Program", and 1 person who has won the National Famous Teacher Award; It has developed a technical system for marine engineering safety and disaster prevention, carried out a series of research and development of offshore construction technology and equipment, undertaken the first basic science center project and the first major project in the field of marine engineering of the National Natural Science Commission, and presided over a major innovation project in Shandong Province. "This is a beautiful stage for young teachers to pursue their dreams and explore science." In 2013, the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the School of Engineering, Liu Yong, the youngest professor in the team at that time, spoke as a faculty representative. Today, he is the vice president of the school, and has been awarded the National Science Award for Distinguished Young Scientists, the Science Exploration Award, and the Outstanding Doctoral Supervisor of Shandong Province, and has never stopped exploring. Young teachers have grown up in the team. Associate Professor Du Junfeng has undertaken a number of scientific research tasks, and the "Floating Offshore Photovoltaic Construction" project he participated in is a 10-million-level project in cooperation with the East China Survey, Design and Research Institute of PowerChina Group, and it is also a new attempt to meet the national "double carbon" strategic needs. Professor Zhang Qiyi has been deeply involved in the production line for many years, and in order to overcome the technical problems of submarine cable and pipeline laying, he has successively gone to Yangzhou Baosheng Cable and Tianjin Waterway Bureau to understand the engineering needs, and has stayed for one or two months at a time, realizing the design, development and manufacturing of serialized equipment. In the eight years since joining the team, Professor Chen Xuguang has been selected for the Young Talent Lifting Project of the China Association for Science and Technology, won the second prize of the Ministry of Education's Science and Technology Progress Award, and the National Outstanding Young Science Award. In 2022, the National ** Committee established it as a new discipline direction. With the support of multidisciplinary layout and high-level talent echelon, the team took the initiative to respond to industrial changes and the demand for engineering talents in the new era, and expanded the classroom from classrooms and laboratories to engineering sites. 
Key members of the team discuss scientific issuesFocus on demand and take the initiative to change
From a laboratory to a vast and complex production line, the process is not achieved overnight. On October 24, 2023, at the academic exchange meeting of Ocean University of China-China Merchants Industry Group Marine Engineering Equipment Collaborative Innovation Research Institute, Li Huajun accepted the letter of appointment from China Merchants Industry Group and became the chief scientist of the Innovation Research InstituteIt has opened another chapter in the exploration of school-enterprise integration and new path exploration of industry, education and research。The team also cooperated with industry leaders such as Sinopec, CCCC, CNOOC, and China Power Construction to overcome a series of engineering and technical problems, and the results were applied in the design, installation and operation and maintenance of offshore platforms, the construction of infrastructure projects along the Offshore Silk Road, and the development and utilization of marine renewable energy, which promoted the progress of the industry and achieved a "bumper harvest" of economic, ecological and social benefits. 
Associate Professor Zhang Min of the Academic Exchange Seminar of Ocean University of China-China Merchants Industry Group Collaborative Innovation Institute of Marine Engineering Equipment still remembers the first technical service project of offshore wind power structure in China undertaken by the team, which was in 2008, when China's offshore wind power industry was just emerging, and there was no mature experience and technology to learn from. Li Huajun invited domestic and foreign scientific research institutes and industrial backbones to participate in the demonstration and discussion, and improved the design scheme from all angles as much as possible. The team worked together to overcome difficulties, and finally proposed five fixed offshore wind power structural types, and achieved remarkable results. The turntable of time was adjusted to 1999, and the team undertook the diagnosis and treatment of excessive vibration in the Chengdao oilfield. This was one of the "Top Ten Safety Hazards of Sinopec" that year, but the team withstood the pressure, with the research foundation accumulated in the field of marine engineering structure monitoring and vibration control, and carried out detection and analysis on the cold offshore platform for more than ten consecutive days during the treatment period, and finally put forward a scientific treatment method, which achieved remarkable treatment results and was highly recognized by the enterprise. Over the past 40 years, the marine engineering faculty team has worked hard to cut through the waves and become a well-known industry-university-research in-depth integration innovation team in this field. And all the setbacks and hardships experienced during this period have been brushed over by everyone. They are running ahead and taking the initiative to change, but what remains unchanged is to connect with real needs, solve engineering problems, and transform achievements into applications. 
The main members of the team are in the front line of scientific researchTake teaching as the foundation and be a model
The influence of academicians on our team's engineering thinking is very great", "* emphasizes the cultivation of students' engineering thinking and innovative thinking ability", "* pays attention to solving practical problems" ......
Academician Li Huajun gave a lecture.
The "Offshore Platform Structure" taught by Li Huajun was approved as a national first-class undergraduate course. When it comes to his teaching style, everyone invariably mentions it"Engineering Thinking".。"Influenced by ***, our team is 'very positive', and every teacher leads by example and drives students to be upright," Wang Shuqing said with a smile. The team members adhere to the principle of "learning from the top, getting from it", always strict with high standards, feeding teaching with scientific research, and creating interactive classrooms with vivid case details and rich engineering experience. Teaching-oriented, the team led the team to win 1 second prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award, 2 special prizes, 3 first prizes and 2 second prizes of the Provincial and Ministerial Teaching Achievement Award. 15 professional core courses and cutting-edge courses have been opened, and 2 provincial first-class undergraduate courses have been approved; He took the lead in the establishment of the National Ideological and Political Alliance for the Curriculum of Higher Ship and Maritime Colleges, organized the construction of marine engineering education and guidance committees to plan the construction of textbooks, and edited 10 textbooks, among which "Wave Mechanics of Ocean Engineering" was awarded the provincial first-class textbook. The team explores the creation of a "one body, two wings and three integrations" marine engineering interdisciplinary and outstanding innovative talent training model, with the multidisciplinary interdisciplinary curriculum system as the ontology, the practice innovation and entrepreneurship platform and the interdisciplinary scientific research and education platform as the two wings, and the integration of science and education, innovation and education, and production and education to cultivate students' innovative and practical ability, and build a practice innovation and entrepreneurship platform of "engineering training center + innovative education practice center + school-enterprise industry-education integration base". Based on the platform and using "engineering thinking", marine engineering students have won almost every National Ocean Vehicle Design and Production Competition.
The first and second prizes have frequently won good results in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions such as the National Underwater Robot Competition and the National College Student "NXP" Cup Intelligent Car Competition, and won more than 20 national and provincial innovation awards in the past five years, and the innovation practice ability has been continuously improved. Liu Guijie, a famous teacher in colleges and universities in Shandong Province, Zhou Liqin, the first prize winner of the Provincial Teaching Achievement Award, and Dong Sheng, the instructor of Shandong Graduate Innovation Achievements, have also reaped fruitful results in the process of integrating science and education. Batches of outstanding students set out from here, pursue their dreams, and become outstanding talents and backbones in related fields of the country. Zhao Shujie, a postdoctoral fellow in the team, said: "This is a very loving team, everyone gets along very well, I have a feeling of being wrapped in love and warmth, even if I am tired and tired, I am willing to contribute energy to this team." "Forty years of spring and autumn, "seaworkers" passed down the torch. In order to move forward with the movement of "rejuvenating the sea with industry and leading the future", and strive for the construction of a maritime power, the ship of marine engineering sails away with vast hopes.
