Prof. MA Hao, Vice Dean of ZJUI, gave a speech entitled "Sino-US Cooperation and Practice of Excellent Engineer Cultivation - International Engineering Cross-Innovative Education" in the sub-forum on Internationalization of Excellent Engineers. Prof. MA pointed out that in today’s world where the industrial chain, supply chain form and innovation pattern are being reshaped, major engineering challenges are global, systematic, and complex, requiring not only interdisciplinary engineering knowledge capabilities, but also urgent solutions with global forces. Therefore, Zhejiang University has also carried out a series of explorations on the cultivation of international excellent engineers at the level of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral. Taking ZJUI’s international engineering cross-innovative education concept and practice as an example, he focused on ZJUI’s innovative exploration and persistent work without weariness in cultivating excellent engineers. He emphasized that ZJUI escorted students by optimizing the education program; stimulated students’ interest in learning through interactive heuristic teaching; controlled the quality through the whole process of learning evaluation; created an excellent cross-disciplinary environment for students to deeply immerse them in engineering; expanded students’ engineering vision and inspired them through rich forms; nurture innovation through emphasis on hands-on training.
