Promoting School-enterprise Cooperation Many joint R&D projects appeared at China Higher Education Expo.

CCTV News:Spring 2023 China Higher Education Expo was held in Chongqing International Expo Center from April 8 to 10. The theme of this year’s High-Tech Fair is "Campus-Land Convergence, Production-Education Integration: High-quality Development", with three sections: high-tech equipment exhibition, high-level conference forum, informationization and high-end achievement release. The joint research and development of scientific and technological products by many schools and enterprises has become a highlight of this exhibition.

In the high-tech equipment exhibition area, a new type of dual-arm cooperative robot attracted the attention of many exhibitors.

Yangjin, exhibitor of China Higher Education Expo:We adopt the configuration of flexible joints, which can drag the robot’s arm very flexibly, which is essentially different from our traditional robots. We cooperate with universities to introduce some of our industry applications and resources into the curriculum system, such as specialty construction and laboratory construction.

The "black technology" independently developed by many college students is also favored by exhibitors. In the booth of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, this robot for inspecting the inner wall of large containers can adsorb and move on the inner wall of steel lining through magnetic adsorption, and transmit the image back to the staff of the control station in real time through wireless transmission, thus replacing the previous manual scaffolding for inspection.

Li Tongjia, Graduate Student, School of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Shanghai Jiaotong University:In the process of developing it, I have been trained by both school tutors and enterprise tutors. On the one hand, I can apply what I have learned in school to actual production and life, on the other hand, I can understand the needs of enterprises.

Zhou Yu, Vice President of China Higher Education Society and Academician of China Academy of Engineering:Take the road of school-enterprise cooperation and integration of production and education, closely combine with the actual needs of production, extract the scientific and technological problems that enterprises need, and we will work together with schools to solve this problem.

In the newly-added college area of this high-tech fair, the achievements of 110 colleges and universities in 28 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) are displayed in a concentrated way. In the booth of Harbin Institute of Technology, 549 patriotic education bases and 50 national heavy equipment enterprise bases were drawn to form three maps of red resources, national heavy equipment and industry model, which effectively integrated ideological and political theory courses with practical teaching.

Yin Shengjun, Director of the Teaching and Research Section of the Ideological and Political Practice Course of Harbin Institute of Technology:On this platform, we pay special attention to the development of students’ subjectivity, that is, students participate in ideological and political courses as the main body, and more actively speak and present what they have learned through his perspective.
