Xinxiang College conscientiously implements the comprehensive requirements of the “Reform Plan for Adjustment and Optimization of Subjects and Main Parameters of General Higher Education” issued by the Ministry of Education and five other departments, as well as as the important decision-making provisions of the “Three Adjustments and Optimizations”. of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, and closely aligns with the “Zheng Luoxin National Independent Innovation” demonstration zone” Positioning of Xinxiang region and development of intelligent industrial clusters for manufacturing, batteries and new energy To meet the major strategic needs of development, relying on the advantages of the country’s first undergraduate specialization in 3D printing, focusing on the characteristics of cross-integration, taking adjustment and l optimization of disciplines and specializations as the main role, innovating the integration of industry and education, as well as collaborative education mechanisms, to provide advanced manufacturing and intelligent services for “Made in China 2025”. Manufacturing cultivates application-oriented compound talents and contributes to the regional economic transformation of new productive forces.

  Focusing on 3D printing characteristics, proactively adjust and optimize disciplines and majors

Seize the opportunity and be the first in the country to open a specialization in additive manufacturing engineering. The school targets strategic economic opportunities related to the development of equipment manufacturing and new materials industries in Henan Province and Xinxiang City. In 2017, it established the 3D Printing College, which defines the directions of 3D printing in three areas: molding and materials control engineering, electrical engineering. and automation and software engineering. Aimed at domestic undergraduate talents in the 3D printing industry. In 2021, we will focus on the core technology of the additive manufacturing industry and highly cross-integrate materials, machinery, electrical engineering and automation. We applied and were approved for “Additive Manufacturing Engineering” as a major outside of a regular university’s catalog. Undergraduate majors. The first university in the country to offer an undergraduate major in 3D printing.

Pioneering and innovative, building a professional cluster for 3D printing. The school follows the idea of ​​”I have what others don’t have, I excel when others have it, and I am special when others are excellent”, focusing on the three dimensions” high demands, intelligence +, innovation and entrepreneurship”, and in accordance with the concept of “intensive academic race, professional clusters and resource integration”. Focusing on regional industrial belts and industrial chains, with intelligent manufacturing as the guide, we break down the barriers between colleges and majors, integrate resources, deeply integrate, actively deploy six emerging engineering majors such as intelligent construction , and actively establish 5 shortage cutting-edge specializations, such as robotics engineering, 2 specializations such as artificial intelligence that will lead future technological and industrial development, and 3D printing discipline clusters are built in advance, involving 9 second-level and 15 first-level colleges. disciplines and 28 majors (directions), anchoring with regional industrial clusters, serving the transformation and modernization of the regional industrial structure and creating a new unique path of cross-integration and application-oriented compound talent cultivation.

Deepen the connotation and improve the quality of training for new engineering talents. The school adheres to the new engineering talent training concept of “general knowledge as the basis, major as the basis and practice as the key”, improves the interdisciplinary, inter-university and inter-professional collaborative training mechanism, and explores large-scale training. recruitment of talents within the professional division of the 3D printing discipline. Reform of the model (first year general training, second, third and fourth year professional training). Implement the plan to cultivate and improve outstanding talents, fully implement the tutoring system, small class size and personalized requirements, and strive to improve innovation awareness, ability innovation and students’ scientific research knowledge. The three disciplines of machinery, materials and chemical engineering, as well as biology and medicine of the professional group were selected into the new round of key disciplines of Henan Province. Pharmaceutical engineering, mechanical design, manufacturing and automation are among the top 15 professionals. construction sites at the national and provincial levels. “Industrial Robot Applications” Virtual Simulation Experience “”Structural Design Principles” and other 8 provincial-level undergraduate courses, and established 7 “New Engineering Research and Practice Projects”, “New Base of professional engineering internships” and “3D printing off-campus practical training base” at the provincial level through provincial acceptance in the service of new quality productivity Lay a solid foundation for the cultivation of new talents in engineering.

Deepen the integration of industry and education and identify areas of development for the service sector

Building a school-business community. Xinxiang University closely follows the needs of the 3D printing and advanced technology industry, and proactively plans to form a collaborative educational innovation alliance with more than 240 enterprises and institutions such as Beijing Yijia 3D, the leading 3D printing company, Shanghai Fuzhi, and Suzhou Boli as an approved initiator as a 3D printing technology innovation strategic alliance of China Province Henan, as the “National Robot and CNC Machine Tool Industry Integration Community” and “National Automotive Quality Intelligent Inspection and Inspection”. The vice-presidential unit of “Industry-Education Integration Community in Testing Industry” uses alliances and communities as links to jointly develop professional courses with enterprises and build 253 campus training bases such as miniature training platforms, 3D printing engineering centers, and comprehensive crane training platforms and 291 off-campus internship and training bases, realizing “two-way mutual advancement”, focusing on developing students’ practical abilities and improving students’ innovation, entrepreneurship and employability.

Construction Industry College. The school adheres to the principle of “resource sharing, complementary benefits and win-win cooperation”. It focuses on the strategic configuration of provincial and municipal industries and actively responds to the needs of regional industries and enterprises. She successively built 10 different types. Industries and industrial colleges, including additive manufacturing, biology and medicine, smart materials and chemical engineering, intelligent equipment and lifting, have been approved by Henan Modern Industry College and Industry College. Explore and put into practice the new model of people’s education in industrial colleges with “double subjects, deep integration” and build the “five common goods” of school-enterprise cooperation of “co-construction of majors and training bases, co-management, co-education » talents, co-organization of teachers and sharing of interests. An effective operation mechanism and multi-stakeholder participation evaluation mechanism will promote the true implementation of the deep integration of school-enterprise dual ownership and industrial education, and improve quality. training “new engineer” talents.

Build a collaborative communications platform. The school held four consecutive “Henan Province 3D Printing Industry Technology Innovation Forum”, inviting experts and scholars from well-known domestic universities and enterprises such as the University Tsinghua to gather in Xinxiang to focus on theoretical technology research and development, promotion and application of results in the field of 3D printing and social manufacturing. Construction and development of 3D printing schools, from different perspectives such as talent training, discipline and professional construction, industry-education integration, market application, etc., we will jointly explore the concepts and approaches. of the new industry-education integration, the development prospects of the fields of 3D printing and social manufacturing, and the new productivity in the field of services.
