Recently, the finals of the 2023 Chinese College Student Engineering Practice and Innovation Ability Competition, sponsored by the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and organized by the Steering Committee for Engineering Training and Teaching of Higher Education Institutions of the Ministry of Education, were successfully concluded in six places including Xi'an, Jilin and Changsha. Tens of thousands of university students from nearly 700 universities such as Tianjin University, Dalian University of Technology, and Northwestern Polytechnical University competed on the same stage, and finally won one silver award and six bronze awards in the national competition.
With the strong support of the university, the Engineering Training Center has always adhered to the education and teaching concept of "cultivating morality, beautifying labor, advocating practical innovation", and actively carried out a series of work such as event publicity, on-campus organization registration, and school competition selection for the eight items of the 2023 Chinese College Student Engineering Practice and Innovation Ability Competition, and established the "2023 Innovation Competition Summer Training Camp." During the 40-day training period of the innovation competition, teachers of the center provided sufficient technical guidance and innovative practice opportunities for the participating students, so as to lay a solid foundation for the students to win awards.
In order to create an atmosphere of innovation competition in our university and enhance the reputation of the university, the Engineering Training Center actively hosted the 2023 China University Students Engineering Practice and Innovation Ability Competition Henan Provincial Selection Competition at the Longzihu Campus of our university. In the Henan Provincial Selection Competition, the teams of our university won 9 first prizes, 2 second prizes and 16 third prizes in the provincial competition after fierce competition with other colleges and universities in the province. Through the active organization and participation of the competition, the Engineering Training Center realized "promoting teaching, learning and construction through competition", focusing on cultivating students' engineering practice ability, innovative practice ability and teamwork spirit, as well as craftsman ingenuity quality, and practicing the six basic requirements of "hard work" emphasized by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the National Education Conference, so that students could increase their knowledge and insight, enhance their comprehensive quality, and cultivate the struggling spirit, and also support the creation of "Double First-Class" in the university.
It is reported that, the Chinese College Student Engineering Practice and Innovation Ability Competition (formerly the National College Student Engineering Training Comprehensive Ability Competition),which was founded in 2009, is one of the three major competitions directly managed by the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education. The theme of the competition is "Being Moral, Advocating Labor, Engineering Innovation for Excellence, Serving the Society, Building a Strong Country with Wisdom and Courage," aiming to stimulate the enthusiasm for innovation of college students, improve their ability to practice and innovate, cultivate the spirit of teamwork, and contribute to our country's scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation. This competition adopts a three-level competition system of school-level recommendation competition, provincial selection competition and national finals, and is held every two years.
