Deepen the integration of industry and education, and jointly cultivate innovative talents
The Packaging Engineering major at Shanghai University of Technology has a long history and is one of the earliest universities in China to establish this major. It has always been committed to cultivating high-quality composite talents who can adapt to the development of modern packaging industry. In recent years, the profession has actively responded to the national innovation driven development strategy, continuously deepened education and teaching reforms, and strengthened the mechanism of school enterprise collaboration in nurturing talents.
The addition of Mr. Yin Zurong is an important supplement to our professional teaching staff and a key bridge connecting academia and industry, "said the person in charge of packaging engineering." Mr. Yin's rich practical experience and industry perspective will help students better understand the cutting-edge applications of packaging engineering in intelligent manufacturing, sustainable development, and other fields, and enhance their ability to solve complex engineering problems
Hand in Hand, Draw a New Blueprint for Packaging Engineering Together
Packaging engineering, as a comprehensive interdisciplinary field, is constantly evolving with the development of technologies such as new materials, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence. ShanghaiTech University always adheres to the concept of "open door education", actively introduces high-quality resources from the industry, and promotes the organic connection between the education chain, talent chain, industry chain, and innovation chain.
Mr. Yin Zurong is deeply honored by this appointment: "The packaging engineering program at Shanghai University of Technology has a profound foundation and produces many talented individuals. I am looking forward to interacting with teachers and students, and bringing real cases and challenges encountered by enterprises in technological innovation and market application into the classroom. I hope to assist the school in cultivating more packaging engineering talents who understand both technology and the market, possess innovative thinking and social responsibility, and jointly promote the development of China's packaging industry towards higher quality and more sustainable direction in the next three years
This appointment is an important measure for Shanghai University of Technology's Packaging Engineering major to strengthen the construction of a "dual teacher" teaching staff. I believe that with the joint efforts of Mr. Yin Zurong and professional teachers, students' innovative potential will be further stimulated, the overall strength of the profession will be enhanced, and more outstanding talents with "solid foundation, strong practice, and innovation" will be provided to the industry, contributing wisdom and strength to China's transition from a packaging power to a packaging powerhouse.
Looking ahead to the future, the flower of school enterprise cooperation will surely bear fruitful fruits in the fertile soil of Shanghai University of Technology's education.
