Guo Xinli gives a speech

Vice Chairman Guo Xinli pointed out in his speech that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party has elevated the development of artificial intelligence to a strategic level. This forum’s study on the integrated development of artificial intelligence and higher engineering education. is of great importance. He put forward three thoughts on this topic: First, a thorough understanding of engineering education is an important cornerstone of a strong educational country. At present, my country’s engineering education system is large-scale, but it faces opportunities and challenges, and it is necessary. promote its reform and innovation. The second is to deeply grasp the opportunities that artificial intelligence brings to engineering education. Colleges and universities should consider the cultivation of teaching talents from the perspective of adapting to future research and talent training needs. The third goal is to further promote the comprehensive reform of engineering education based on artificial intelligence, including optimizing the distribution of disciplines and specializations, cultivating innovation awareness and capabilities, and building a training paradigm inter-integrated talents. Finally, he said that there is a long way to go to reform and develop engineering education and he hoped to use this forum as an opportunity to promote the development of engineering education and improve its international competitiveness.

Ye Min gives a speech

President Ye Min expressed warm congratulations on the successful holding of the meeting. He said that the Professional Engineering Education Committee of the China Society of Higher Education has always insisted on serving the country’s overall development and is committed to building a global engineering network platform. engineering education. , a professional service platform and network It serves as a global education and training platform and actively cooperates with international engineering education organizations to promote the internationalization of engineering education in China. At the same time, it was announced that Zhejiang University combined the construction of new engineering disciplines, made full use of its disciplinary advantages, published the “Red Book on Mastering Artificial Intelligence for University Students (Edition 2024)” and actively explored and cultivated engineering talents. Finally, it is expected that universities will jointly explore innovative development models and promote the development of higher education in China and the international development of engineering education.

Your host: Lu Guodong

Professor Wang Zhenyou, Vice President of Guangdong University of Technology, with the title “Cultivating Outstanding Engineering Talents for AI Empowerment in the Bay Area”, introduced talent cultivation of the school based on the trinitarian talent strategy in education, science and technology, using courses as the starting point. Integrate engineering and artificial intelligence into art design, hold Sino-German joint training, and launch a multi-dimensional AI+ talent training model. In terms of practical implementation, Chuangxiangshe cooperated with Huawei to integrate the program and create a comprehensive educational mechanism and a new practical teaching model. At the same time, the school has achieved remarkable results in creating an intelligent campus platform. The school is student-oriented, cultivates comprehensive talents, and builds a practice-oriented AI education system.

Wang Zhenyou reported

Professor Zhang Guangxin, Dean of the Undergraduate School of Zhejiang University, in the report “Artificial Intelligence Enables the Transformation of Higher Education: Strategies and Actions”, pointed out that artificial intelligence and Big data capabilities are one of the key skills for future talent cultivation, and Zhejiang University attaches great importance to artificial intelligence education education and research, the “Red Book on Mastering Artificial Intelligence for University Students” and proposed a conceptual framework model for mastering artificial intelligence. In terms of practical measures, the first is to integrate artificial intelligence into the construction of basic elements; the second is to strengthen the construction of artificial intelligence teaching materials; the third is to cultivate students’ abilities, and the fourth is to solve the problem; of teachers. And we look forward to all universities jointly exploring higher education reform enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Zhang Guang’s new report

Professor Huang Tingzhu, national-level professor and former dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences and director of the Academic Affairs Office of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, introduced the main ideas of the University of Science and Technology China’s electronic technologies in artificial intelligence education in the report “Artificial Intelligence Education and Technology-Based Teaching”: In terms of talent training concept, focus on capacity development of reflection. In terms of talent training, the school transforms major scientific research projects into a program system through special plans. In terms of the teaching system, a “large teaching group” at the school level is created. In terms of technological empowerment, the school released an action plan to reform the curriculum with artificial intelligence-based teaching.

Huang Tingzhu reported

Cao Xinfang, Director of the Academic and Research Talent Development Department of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., titled “Integration of industry and education to build a new talent ecosystem in the intelligence era “digital” said that in the process of rapid development of Huawei, its ecological industrial layout will create greater demand for future talents has made major changes and has increasingly focused on actively deploying the ecosystem of talents. The “Smart Base” university cooperation plan has achieved remarkable results. This year the project will launch version 2.0. This cooperation will focus on curriculum reform in the four main subjects: computer science, software, artificial intelligence and electronic information. on teacher empowerment. Huawei hopes to use various means to strengthen school-enterprise collaboration and jointly create brilliant development.

Cao Xinfang reported

Professor Lan Jian, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Xi’an Jiaotong University and deputy dean of the College of Future Technology, introduced seven major explorations in the report “Xi’an Jiaotong University has empowered ‘education, teaching reform and practice’: First, AI + major, opening of AI micro-majors, optimized curriculum system. The second concerns AI + courses, the design of a curriculum system and the integration of AI into the teaching of general courses, professional courses, ideological and political courses, etc. The third is AI + teaching, which offers design ideas around what to teach, how to teach, and who will teach. The fourth is AI + learning, creating an intelligent learning platform. The fifth is AI+assessment, the first digital intelligence platform for real-time monitoring of teaching quality, forming a closed loop at school. The sixth is AI+ resources, integrating knowledge maps, MOOCs and other resources. The seventh is the AI+ platform, which involves large-scale model development and unified management of teaching platforms to create a digital learning space and promote holistic growth and personalized, lifelong learning students.

Lan Jian reported

Professor Gu Xiaoqing, professor at East China Normal University, addressed the topic of “Digital Transformation of Education and Schools’ Response” and pointed out that the transformation of education through artificial intelligence is not is not only reflected in the learning scene, but also involves the industry and social and cultural scenes. From the perspective of digital transformation, data is the foundation of transformation, and it is necessary to explore the value of data and improve the digital literacy of teachers and students. It also analyzes the problems encountered by current digital-focused school reforms, such as data curation, data integration and construction of data portraits, and data mastery by teachers and students. It is felt that schools need a digitally focused center to harness the value of data. , and teachers need to improve their data literacy to face the challenges of role transformation.
