This year, the ship and ocean engineering major added to the strong base plan of Shanghai Jiaotong University will set up "Xu Hua Class".

    The Strong Foundation Program is an enrollment reform carried out by the Ministry of Education since 2020, mainly to select and train students who are interested in serving the major strategic needs of the country and have excellent comprehensive quality and top basic disciplines. Shanghai Jiaotong University is the earliest institution of higher education in shipbuilding and Marine engineering in China. Founded in 1943, this discipline has trained a large number of ships and high-end ships for the shipbuilding industry and naval construction, such as Academician Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China's first generation nuclear submarine, Academician Zhu Yingfu, chief designer of the first domestic aircraft carrier "Liaoning", Academician Xu Xuannan, chief designer of the manned submersible "Jiaolong", Academician Tan Jiahua, chief designer of the large cutter suction dredger at sea Chief engineer of the first type of Marine equipment.

    On the basis of the practice of the early reform of Marine engineering education, the school has further organized experts to demonstrate in detail and formed a specific plan for the establishment of the ship and Marine Engineering strong foundation program, which will enroll students for the first time in 2024. At the same time, this year is also the 100th birthday of Academician Huang Xuhua, so the school named this new strong base major "Xu Hua Class".

    The training program of "Xuhua Class" emphasizes the integration of "mathematical foundation - engineering ability - scientific thinking", strengthens the deep cross-integration with artificial intelligence, green low-carbon and other fields, and is committed to training a group of top innovative talents for the design and manufacture of high-end Marine equipment, the development and utilization of Marine resources, and the Marine safety maintenance and security of the national Marine power strategy.

    The new curriculum system pays attention to the close combination of theory and practice, eliminates the redundant and repetitive content of the curriculum, and truly achieves the extrusion casting gold. In addition to the reconstruction of knowledge structure, the ship and sea major of Jiaotong University has also carried out innovation in teaching methods. Introduction to Shipbuilding and Ocean Engineering adopts TBL (Team Based Learning) teaching mode, that is, students' "self-study before class + discussion and practice in class" is the main course, supplemented by teachers' teaching. Teachers' roles move from front to behind the scenes, becoming "referee" and "director".

    Qiangji Program "Xuhua Class" will adopt the link through training, students can directly determine the research direction and choose the supervisor in the second or third year of undergraduate, after the end of the third year of undergraduate can apply to enter the study stage of link graduate training in advance, to carry out academic research and take courses at the doctoral stage, to shorten the talent training cycle to the greatest extent.

    According to Professor Xue Hongxiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Ship Construction College and director of the Department of Ship and Marine Engineering, the training characteristics of "Xuhua Class" are mainly reflected in four aspects: first, it strengthens the professional foundation, provides classes separately, is equipped with first-class teachers, and takes more advanced honors courses such as mathematics, physics and mechanics to consolidate students' mathematical foundation; The second is to strengthen cross-integration, focusing on the deep integration with artificial intelligence, energy and power, information communication, automatic control and other disciplines, and will also open intelligent unmanned systems, intelligent Marine technology and intelligent construction of coastal defense cross-specialty specialty courses; Third, collaborative innovation of science and education, encouraging students to participate in scientific research in advance, relying on national platform bases such as the National Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering and major national science and technology projects to carry out the cultivation and improvement of scientific research ability of the link and progressive; Fourth, the master will lead the growth, professional teachers, industry mentors, ideological and political teachers will participate in the guidance of students, cultivate students' professional aspirations and industry feelings, and realize the ideal ambition and life value.
