Guangming Daily reporter Yanjie Liu Guangming Daily correspondent Han Hongshuo
Not long ago, Shen Weiting, a 2023 graduate student majoring in mechanical engineering at Shandong University of Science and Technology who just entered the third year of research, received employment invitations from many well-known enterprises such as Haier Group. During his postgraduate years, he went deep into the practice of engineering projects for many times and participated in eight provincial and ministerial key scientific research projects, which made him accumulate rich social experience.
In Shandong University of Science and Technology, there are not a few graduate students who have become "hot cakes" like Shen Weiting. In the past two years, more than 2,000 enterprises have come to the school to recruit talents, providing more than 30,000 jobs for more than 4,000 graduate students, and the ratio of graduates to jobs is 1 to 8.
Why are graduate students of Shandong University of Science and Technology so popular?
"The school deeply integrates various elements of science and technology, industry and education with postgraduate training, and continues to deepen the postgraduate training mode of practice+science and technology+culture, so that students’ abilities are comprehensively improved, and the comprehensive quality of graduates has been unanimously recognized by society and employers." Yao Qingguo, president of Shandong University of Science and Technology, gave the answer.
Encourage graduate students to participate in social practice and create a walking "ideological and political course"
"Grapes have a short shelf life and are not suitable for transportation. We can introduce some deep processing equipment to increase added value and drive more people to increase their income and get rich." Xu Wei, a material engineering major at Shanke University, made suggestions for grape growers.
This summer, 10 members of the "Initial Mission" graduate practice group of Shanke University came to Ximen Village, Yaer Town, Gaochang District, Turpan, Xinjiang for investigation.
"In practice, we strongly feel that remote villages urgently need young people to inject vitality." Wang Faquan, the leader of the practice team, told the reporter that with this sense of mission, they put forward a series of good ideas to enrich the people, such as strengthening the brand of agricultural culture and extending the industrial chain, in combination with local industrial characteristics.
"Graduate students’ innovative practical ability and logical thinking ability are relatively strong. The school encourages graduate students to participate in social practices such as rural revitalization by building practical platforms, improving service mechanisms, and cultivating practical achievements, so that ideological and political education can be promoted from ‘ Books ’ Trend ‘ Society ’ 。” Han Zuozhen, director of the graduate work department of Shanke University, said.
"What should college students do to promote ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin?" At the beginning of this year, Shanke University issued the "One Plan, Three Actions" program (2022— In 2024), the school guided teachers and students to launch a "brainstorming" on the protection and development of the Yellow River Basin. More than 20 practice teams have launched related practice activities, including the "Light of the Earth" volunteer service team.
The volunteer service team of "Light of the Earth" is a practical team composed of teachers and graduate students from the Academy of Geosciences of Shanke University to serve the ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin. "We study the ecological situation of the Yellow River and put forward suggestions such as water quality monitoring." Wang Jianwei, a graduate student of the Academy of Geosciences, told the reporter that he used his professional knowledge to make himself a defender of the ecological security of the "Mother River", and he found a sense of responsibility in his practice.
Over the past five years, more than 600 graduate students of Shanke University have set up 89 "three rural areas" practice teams, which have been trained, put forward suggestions and made more than 120 practical achievements around social hotspots such as helping rural revitalization strategy, grass-roots party building in the new era, and fighting tough battles against pollution.
Implementing the "moral tutorial system" to promote the joint development of university education and scientific and technological innovation
"These college students, when they come, go down to the well, not afraid of hardship, and solve many problems for us." Guo Ying, the mine manager of Baodian Coal Mine, gave a thumbs up when he mentioned the graduate student of the "only true light" Party branch of Shanke University.
Baodian Coal Mine, located in Jining, Shandong Province, has an increasingly urgent demand for scientific and technological innovation due to the increase in output and other reasons. Knowing this situation, the Party branch of Shanke University of Science and Technology set up a postgraduate research team for the first time to assist the coal mine to complete more than 10 innovation and efficiency projects.
"Song Zhenqi, a famous mine pressure and strata control scientist and academician of China Academy of Sciences, is my moral education tutor. He often tells us that we should apply what we have learned all our lives to the production line and contribute to the national energy strategy." Liu Rui, a 2020 graduate student majoring in mining engineering at Shankeda University, said.
In recent years, Shanke University of Science and Technology has implemented the "moral education tutorial system" for graduate students, hired more than 120 scientists and entrepreneurs as moral education tutors, and regularly organized experts, scholars, engineers and model workers to teach micro-party courses and ideological and political courses for graduate students. By sharing personal stories and red stories, it has guided graduate students to cultivate their feelings about home and country, practice their responsibilities, and formed a trend of mutual promotion and coordinated development of scientific research and education and ideological and political education.
"Scientific and technological innovation is an important position that can’t be ignored in the process of educating people." Han Zuozhen said. To this end, Shanke University set up the Party branch in the postgraduate innovation team, and created the "innovation+party building" mode of ideological and political education, forming a situation in which the branch and the team coexist, and ideological and political education and science and technology go hand in hand.
"Once we went to the bathing beach, we were shut out of the beach because of the outbreak of Enteromorpha prolifera … …” Wang Yu, a member of the innovation team of "Xiaoping Science and Technology" in Shanke University, recalled that at that time, he wondered whether an amphibious unmanned ship could be designed for salvage operations on the beach and offshore.
When Zhang Yuhuan, secretary of the Party branch where Wang Yu was located, knew their ideas, he quickly organized students majoring in machinery and automation in the branch, set up a science and technology interest party group, and vacated the conference room as a research and development base. With the support of the Party branch, it took Wang Yu and his team members more than a year to design the "amphibious ‘ Dahu ’ Ship. " Today, this scientific and technological innovation team with an average age of less than 25 years old has won more than 200 national innovation awards by setting up students to sing operas through branches.
Creating "Culture Plus" Classroom to Promote the High-quality Development of Postgraduate Education
"Hong Hushui, waves, waves, waves" and "everyone is United towards the party and United into an iron wall" … … The red classic drama Honghu Red Guards, which was arranged by graduate students Zhang Shaokui and Wang Meng from the Art College of Shanke University, became an explosion of campus culture once it was released.
"How to deepen ideological and political education? How to establish cultural self-confidence? It is an urgent task for Lide Shuren in the new era. The school takes a participatory, interactive and immersive campus culture as the starting point to create ‘ Culture +’ Ideological and political class. " Li Kezhou, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Shanke University and Minister of Propaganda Department, told reporters that every year, there are more than 30 graduate practice teams in the school, which go deep into all parts of the country to visit the red culture and spread it in a way that young people like.
As a member of the civil code propaganda group, Qi Fei, a graduate student of the Law School, came to Yimeng Hongsao Memorial Hall with the propaganda group two years ago and was moved by the story of Yimeng Hongsao.
"I want to tell their stories to more people." After returning to school, Qi Fei discussed with the team members and created a preaching work about Yimeng red sister-in-law. After more than a year, propaganda works such as "Follow communist party" were completed and caused a sensation in the school propaganda competition. Since then, colleges and classes have invited teams to perform for students, and "Follow communist party" has also spread from the school to the outside, spreading all over primary and secondary schools, enterprises and villages, and getting more and more attention and recognition.
How to effectively implant traditional cultural education into the ideological and political curriculum system? The "cultural research base" has become another educational model for Shanke University to explore and innovate.
In the past five years, Shanke University of Science and Technology has set up more than 50 cultural research bases, developed more than 20 supporting courses and aesthetic education courses such as pottery, etiquette and culture, tie-dyeing and paper-cutting, and launched brand activities such as "elegant art enters the campus" and "intangible cultural heritage enters the campus" to realize "one college and one brand" and let all graduate students participate.
