■The core of this reform is to let the needs of enterprises directly enter the overall setting and implementation process of the reform of colleges and universities. The training system has changed from "discipline logic" to "industrial logic", and the training method has changed from "standardized training" to "customized training" - to realize the precise connection between the "supply side" of talent training and the "demand side" of industrial structure

In a list of members of the university discipline and professional setting committee, 3 are from enterprises and 0 are from universities. This is the deepest impression of the list of the first application-oriented discipline professional setting committee of Shanghai Dianji University. Yesterday, Shanghai launched the pilot reform of the talent training model of application-oriented undergraduate universities, and the application-oriented undergraduate colleges and universities have changed their school-running concepts and explored the seamless connection between the education chain and the industrial chain.

As the first batch of pilot universities, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai Institute of Technology, Shanghai Electric Power University, Shanghai Second Polytechnic University and Shanghai Dianji University, 5 science and engineering application-oriented undergraduate universities with distinctive industry characteristics, take the initiative to adjust the professional settings and talent training mode, and realize the precise connection between the "supply side" of talent training and the "demand side" of industrial structure. It is reported that this reform will be gradually extended to colleges and universities in the city.

The main body of training has changed to school-enterprise ambidextrous

Why does Shanghai carry out the reform of talent training in application-oriented undergraduate universities? The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission said that the purpose of this reform is to be deeply close to the integration of industry and education, to solve the problem of how colleges and universities can cultivate talents according to the needs of the industry, and to break the original enrollment according to majors and disciplines training, but it cannot adapt to the current situation of the demand for talents in the new format. The core of this reform is to let the needs of enterprises directly enter the overall setting and implementation process of university reform.

Majors are the most basic units for colleges and universities to cultivate talents. This reform has systematically changed the decision-making process of internal circulation in the setting of disciplines and majors. The school has set up an industry-led discipline and professional setting committee, and the number of members from the industry exceeds 50%. Under the new model, the committee studies and judges the industrial development trend of the industry and the changes in the job demand structure in real time, and accurately guides the optimization of the school's discipline and major settings, the reform of the talent training model and the adjustment of the enrollment structure.

Gong Siyi, dean of Shanghai Dianji College, told reporters that the school has set up a special committee for the establishment of application-oriented disciplines, and the first enterprise members include heads of leading enterprises in key industries such as COMAC, Shanghai Electric Group, Fanuc Robot, Huada Semiconductor, Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group, and Shanghai Nengchuan Electric.

After the reform, the enrollment method of Shanghai Dianji University was changed to "large categories of enrollment, on-demand class arrangement", the industry characteristics of the same or similar disciplines and majors merged into a large category for enrollment, after admission according to the type of talent required by the enterprise and the willingness of students to be trained in different classes, to improve the participation of cooperative enterprises in the process of student selection.

Shanghai Institute of Technology has substantially reorganized and integrated the original 5 disciplinary engineering colleges into 0 technical departments. The school is divided into classes according to the needs of enterprise positions, and students are divided into majors after one year of study, so as to realize the two-way choice of enterprises and students.

Shorten the response time for talent supply

"With the adjustment of the professional setting, the curriculum system will also be adjusted as a whole, with both an increase and a slimming part, which is mainly based on the job needs of the enterprise." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Education Commission said.

The training system has changed from "discipline logic" to "industrial logic", and the training method has changed from "standardized training" to "customized training", so as to shorten the response cycle of talent supply. The "Micro Major + Micro Course" of Shanghai University of Engineering Science is led by industry leaders or specialized and special new enterprises and co-opened by the college, focusing on emerging technologies urgently needed for industrial transformation, which can not only quickly respond to the development needs of new productivity of enterprises, but also accurately meet the actual job needs of enterprises and the needs of future technology development.

The curriculum content of Shanghai Institute of Technology is also quietly changing: the credit weight of the basic courses of natural sciences and engineering theory is reasonably reduced; Add technical and project-based courses closely related to the production line, and add practical course credits; Integrate the cutting-edge knowledge of digitalization and AI intelligence, the interdisciplinary knowledge of management and economics, and the knowledge and cases of vocational qualification certificates, innovation and entrepreneurship, and discipline skills competitions.

"Through in-depth enterprise research, we analyze the upstream and downstream links, and sort out the different ability needs of different positions in the enterprise into courses in the industrial sector." Liu Jun, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanghai Dianji University, introduced that the co-construction enterprises provide actual cases, processing drawings, assembly drawings, and production line cases, and introduce enterprise cases into the classroom after declassification. "In this way, the teachers find it challenging and the students find it interesting."

In the future, the school will select some cases of appropriate size, let students use 3D printing out, and then use CNC machine tools to process, and finally combine the practical training and courses of traditional industrial centers. "With more and more cases and data, an enterprise course library will be built in the future, and all teachers can find cases from the library and update them in real time." Liu Jun said.

Not only do the courses have enterprise cases, but there are also corporate mentors to explain during the class, and there are also corporate mentors to guide when making products. Li Linsheng, deputy dean of the School of Electrical Engineering of Shanghai Dianji University, introduced that in the direction of power electronics, it is ready to open a project-based teaching of "power supply design and development", and students must finally design a product and make a physical object.

Bringing real industrial scenes to campus

Compared with scientific research talents, how to cultivate applied talents in order to be more effective and adaptable? The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Education Commission said that enterprises need talents with strong practical ability and strong innovation ability, which requires students to exercise their ability to solve real problems in real work scenarios.

Shanghai Dianji University has built laboratories and "on-site engineer workstations" with dozens of high-quality enterprises such as Shanghai Zhiyuan Xinchuang Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Electric Machinery Factory Co., Ltd., so that students can go out of the campus and settle in enterprises to study and solve the problem of "real knives and real guns", so as to promote the seamless connection of "employment after graduation".

"Choose a major in the freshman, choose the industry in the sophomore, choose the enterprise in the third, and choose the position in the fourth." Liu Jun explained that in the first year, students have a week to take turns to visit the leading companies in the five major practice industries to understand what different industries are doing. In the sophomore year, each industry has a teaching steering committee, and the backbone of the enterprise is hired to talk about the characteristics of the industry, and at the same time, students choose the corresponding industry course modules, and practice in the school factory simulation for 3 months; In the third year, students go directly to the company for internship for 0 months, and if the two parties have a high degree of compatibility, the senior year can go directly to the company to do the graduation project.

Introduce enterprises into the school, and move the real industrial scene of the enterprise to the campus as an "internship factory". For example, Fanuc Robotics Co., Ltd. will provide 1000 typical application scenarios such as integrated circuits and aircraft manufacturing, and use customized equipment to transform the original industrial center of more than 0 square meters of the School of Electrical Engineering into an "intelligent workshop", so that students can practice in real industrial scenarios and help students establish industrial cognition as soon as possible.

"In the future, robots will enter thousands of industries, with different application scenarios, requiring engineers to install and maintain them on site, and there is an extreme shortage of such talents." Liu Zhiqiang, general manager of the business partnership department of Shanghai Zhiyuan Xinchuang Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters. It is reported that Zhiyuan Robot has 5 equipment into the school, students can practice disassembly, assembly, maintenance of these robots, part of the company's data will be open to the school.

Long-term follow-up evaluation of graduates

How will the evaluation criteria of application-oriented undergraduate universities change? The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Education Commission said that the quality of talent training and the effectiveness of the service industry should be taken as the main indicators of the school's performance, and a tracking and evaluation mechanism for the career development of graduates should be established.

Shanghai Second Polytechnic University has set up a leading group for the tracking and evaluation of graduates' career development to conduct long-term follow-up evaluation of graduates' development, build a new model of school-running evaluation focusing on graduates' high-quality employment, career development, actual service contribution, and characteristic advantage display, and further adjust the major settings and optimize the talent training program according to the evaluation feedback results.

The cultivation of talents is inseparable from teachers. In terms of teacher evaluation mechanism, more emphasis is placed on the evaluation of the effectiveness of teachers in carrying out the teaching of industry-education integration.

Shanghai University of Electric Power is increasing its efforts to train "double-teacher" teachers and promote the practice of new teachers in pilot colleges and majors. At the same time, we will continue to improve the enterprise practice system of professional teachers, encourage school professional teachers to be hired as high-skilled talents of enterprises, part-time technical personnel of enterprises, and successively hire enterprise executives, technical experts, standard developers, and talents with outstanding industry skills as school tutors or part-time teachers.

At the same time, the evaluation indicators of teachers of Shanghai Electric Power University focus on the assessment of teachers' practice, such as practical ability, practical performance and practical teaching level, etc., appropriately reduce the academic assessment indicators, and give more consideration and weight to teacher training and certification, guide students to practice in enterprises, patent development projects, engineering development projects, etc. In addition, the existing professional title evaluation system document will be revised to fully consider the professional title evaluation and appointment channels of pilot reform colleges and professional teachers, and will focus on the recognition of teachers' practical teaching achievements.
