This excellent engineering college implements a board of directors responsibility system, with 29 directors including Huali, Huahong, Guoyao, CR, PetroChina, and other Huali teams
Unlike the conventional dean responsibility system, this new excellent engineering college implements a council responsibility system. And the first batch of co established director units reached 29, almost all of which were enterprises, with "national" enterprises accounting for half. On the 18th, the School of Excellent Engineers at East China University of Science and Technology announced its official establishment, with major companies such as Sinochem, Huahong, Sinopharm, China Resources, PetroChina, Aviation Industry Development Corporation, and CNOOC all present, forming "educational units" with the university's academic institutions.
China is the largest country in engineering education, but it is not yet a strong country in engineering education. The central talent work regards outstanding engineers as one of the national strategic talent forces, and explores the formation of a Chinese characteristic and world-class engineer training system. Excellent engineers should have outstanding technological innovation capabilities and be adept at solving complex engineering problems. To cultivate a large number of outstanding engineers, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of both universities and enterprises. Among them, enterprises need to move the training process forward, design training goals, develop training plans, and implement the training process together with universities, implement the "dual mentor system" between schools and enterprises, achieve deep integration of industry, academia, and research, and solve the prominent problem of the disconnect between engineering and technical talent training and production practice.

Is the College of Excellent Engineers a "talent zone" with a gathering of universities and departments? The Jiefang Daily Shangguan News reporter learned that the Excellent Engineering College, relying on the school's advantageous technological strength, breaks the boundaries of disciplines and focuses on six key areas: integrated circuits, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, advanced materials, green energy, and high-end equipment. From the organizational structure presented by Vice President and Dean of Zhuo Institute of Technology, Li Jian, Zhuo Institute of Technology implements a council responsibility system, which includes the Party and Government Office, Enrollment and Degree Office, Teaching and Training Office, Student Work Office, Engineer Technology Center, and Enterprise Liaison Office. It can be seen that some of these institutions are not available in other colleges.
At present, engineering accounts for 54% of the professional layout of Huali disciplines. For example, in the field of green energy, Zhuo University of Technology has broken the boundaries of the School of Chemical Engineering, the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, the School of Materials Science and Engineering, and the School of Resources and Environmental Engineering. It focuses on hydrogen energy manufacturing, new energy materials, carbon dioxide based chemical production, pollution reduction and carbon reduction synergy, and develops waste gasification for hydrogen production, wastewater electrolysis for hydrogen production, carbon dioxide catalytic conversion, and efficient salt lake lithium extraction.

Zhuo Institute of Technology is screened for students by various professional colleges, with policy support provided by graduate schools. Duan Jiawei is a master's student pursuing a degree in electronic information at Huali University. Currently, his joint training unit is China Aviation Engine Corporation Limited. After being incorporated into the structure of the Excellent Engineering College, the new college will collaborate with leading enterprises in these related industries as a whole, gather all elements of the industrial chain resources, deepen the reform of the engineering master's and doctoral training system, adopt alternating training between engineering and academia, and explore new mechanisms and paradigms for cultivating innovative outstanding engineering talents.
On that day, the first batch of teams from the School of Excellent Engineers at East China University of Science and Technology reached 10 pairs. Among them, in the field of green energy, Professor Wang Fuchen from the Ministry of Education's "Key Core Technologies for Hydrogen Energy Green Manufacturing and Utilization" integrated research and development platform, and Yue Baode, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Shandong Energy Group Co., Ltd., held hands and formed a new energy technology joint education team.

The newly established college is based on such an interdisciplinary industry education integration team as its educational unit. It is reported that the first batch of teams to settle in also includes: "Huali China Chemical Electronic and Chemical Joint Education Team", "Huali Huahong Integrated Circuit Joint Education Team", "Huali China Pharmaceutical Group Biomedical High end Chemical Reagent Joint Education Team", "Huali China Resources Pharmaceutical Intelligent Biotechnology Manufacturing Joint Education Team", "Huali Shenneng Intelligent Data Engineering Collaborative Education Team", "Huali China Petroleum Advanced Materials Joint Education Team", "Huali Pingmei Shenma Coal Coke and Nylon Chemical Joint Education Team", "Huali Aviation Engine Life Prediction Joint Education Team", "Huali CNOOC Green and Low Carbon Production Water Treatment Technology Equipment" United Education Team.
Experts believe that current professional degree education is facing a contradiction between the rapid changes in the business environment and business models of enterprises and the lag in curriculum system design, the contradiction between the acceleration of knowledge iteration and the relative solidification and narrowing of teacher knowledge structure, and the contradiction between the demand for experiential and interactive mixed teaching modes and the traditional one-way theoretical teaching mode. Therefore, the integration of industry and education has become an inevitable requirement for the reform of professional degree education.

It is worth noting that management education has also taken this inevitable path. Recently, Huali Business School has launched a new professional and master's training system, working together with 40 enterprises to build an integrated industry education base. Du Wenli, Dean of Huali Graduate School and Executive Vice Dean of Zhuo Institute of Technology, stated that this cooperation comprehensively strengthens communication and links between schools and enterprises, enabling cutting-edge knowledge systems and excellent composite talents to truly empower enterprises, and also allowing the actual needs of enterprises to truly feedback to universities, thereby creating conditions for value co creation and win-win cooperation between schools and enterprises.
