Responding to the needs of the times,
Optimizing and upgrading the training model of textile majors
When talking about the impact of technological, economic and social development on textile college education, Chen Wenxing said that in recent years , a very significant and important change in the field of education is that the connection between education and scientific, technological, economic and social development has become closer, and the ability of education to serve scientific, technological, economic and social development has been significantly enhanced. As the main force of basic research, the main battlefield for talent training, and the main battlefield for original innovation, universities receive more than 60% of the three major national science and technology awards every year, undertake more than 80% of the National Natural Science Foundation projects, and participate in cracking a large number of key core technologies. “stuck neck” problem.
This requires higher engineering education to focus on engineering practice. Teachers must enrich engineering practice experience and actively create conditions for students to practice in companies and get close to industries. The school’s textile-related majors attach great importance to cultivating students’ engineering practice and innovation abilities. For example, we introduce high-quality corporate resources from local and surrounding areas to build a talent training model that integrates science and education, industry and education, and school-enterprise cooperation. We carry out teaching activities in the form of school-site and school-enterprise cooperation, and coordinate education with multiple entities. At present, the school has cooperated with more than ten local governments and a number of leading enterprises and institutions to establish teaching venues for in-class practical teaching and centralized practice sessions, allowing students to conduct visits, production practices, curriculum design, graduation projects, etc. , Improve students’ engineering practice ability and innovation ability. At the same time, the school also effectively uses local research institutes, such as Shaoxing Keqiao Research Institute, Tongxiang Research Institute, Shangyu Research Institute, etc., as a platform for students to carry out engineering practice.
Talking about the focus and direction of education and teaching reform, Chen Wenxing emphasized that cultivating people with moral integrity is the fundamental task of education. Colleges and universities must cultivate new people of the era who will take on the responsibility of national rejuvenation in the new journey of accelerating modernization. Therefore, for textile majors, the focus and direction of education and teaching reform is to improve the quality of talent training. It is necessary to continuously reform and improve the talent training model, deepen the integration of industry and education, and strengthen the construction of teaching staff, practice bases, curriculum systems, teaching materials, and teaching quality assurance systems, with a view to improving students’ quality, ability, and character, and cultivating students with superb textile skills and Specialized talents with high textile loyalty.
