The voice of the two sessions
Outstanding engineering talents are an important strategic resource for further promoting new industrialization and accelerating the formation of new quality productive forces. Qian Feng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that at present, it has become a broad consensus that universities and enterprises have collaborated to cultivate engineering talents, but an ecosystem for the collaborative training of engineering talents has not yet been established, and a joint force conducive to the construction of a large-scale team of outstanding engineers has not yet been formed.
To this end, Qian Feng suggested that the first is to build a training system for outstanding engineers in the new era. In terms of professional ability, it focuses on strengthening the education of students' basic knowledge in their professional fields, cutting-edge science and technology, experimental design and research, etc., so that students can have the ability to solve complex engineering problems. In terms of digital skills, we will formulate general requirements for digital skills for all engineering students in China, and strengthen the training of digital skills for engineering students. In terms of general knowledge training, it focuses on strengthening the cultivation of engineering economics, engineering ethics, internationalization ability, teamwork and communication, systematic and global thinking, and critical thinking.
The second is to innovate the training model of outstanding engineering talents. Strengthen the reform of theoretical teaching, build a "student-centered" teaching model, reshape the grassroots teaching organization system, and accelerate the reform of classroom teaching; Strengthen the reform of experimental teaching, actively use digital technology to carry out virtual experimental teaching, and improve students' ability to discover and solve problems through creative experiments; Strengthen the reform of practical teaching, build a first-class platform and engineering training center for the enterprise environment, and cultivate students' practical innovation ability.
The third is to create a talent training ecology with deep integration of government, industry and academia. More effective measures should be introduced to guide enterprises to actively participate in the cultivation of talents in colleges and universities.
