From August 22 to 24, 2026, in order to further promote the work of visiting enterprises to expand job opportunities and promote employment, accelerate the construction of a collaborative education mechanism integrating industry and education, and continuously optimize the talent training system, Han Rong, Dean of the School of Design and Arts, along with Vice Deans Sha Chunfa and Chen Kaikai, Director of the Experimental Center Liu Qingli, and Discipline Secretary Xu Ying, went to Beijing for a special research visit. The research team successively visited the School of Architecture and Arts at Beijing Jiaotong University, Lenovo Future Center, and Beijing Jinfatech Co., Ltd., conducting in-depth exchanges on core topics such as industry development trends, changes in talent demand, paths for industry-education integration, and collaborative innovation in scientific research, aiming to promote multi-level and broad-ranging in-depth cooperation between the college and high-level universities as well as leading enterprises in the industry in areas such as discipline construction, talent training, scientific research innovation, and social services.
At the School of Architecture and Arts of Beijing Jiaotong University, both parties held a discussion and exchange. Zhang Ye, Dean of the School of Architecture and Arts of Beijing Jiaotong University, systematically introduced the development trajectory of the school's disciplines, the structure of the faculty, the characteristics of teaching and research, and the achievements in cultivating innovative talents. He focused on explaining the practical experience of advancing discipline construction and industry-education integration collaboratively, and conducted an in-depth analysis of the new requirements that current industry development places on the comprehensive ability structure of design talents. Participants fully discussed key topics such as the construction of the connotation of design disciplines, optimization of curriculum systems, reform of practical teaching, joint training of graduate students, and collaborative tackling of research projects. Dean Han Rong introduced the features of talent cultivation and progress in social services at our institute, proposing specific construction paths including continuously deepening mutual learning and reference, building a normalized cooperation platform for faculty exchange, joint course development, and academic exchange, and jointly improving the quality of design and art talent cultivation.
At the Lenovo Future Center, R&D personnel introduced the company's innovation and R&D journey, showcased cutting-edge technological achievements and innovative design cases, and provided a systematic interpretation of the company's R&D system, technology layout, and talent cultivation mechanisms. At Beijing Jinfo Technology Co., Ltd., the research team conducted on-site visits to the product display center and R&D laboratories to gain an in-depth understanding of the company's R&D directions, innovative product systems, and the construction of research platforms for universities. The two parties held pragmatic discussions on jointly building practical teaching platforms, sharing research resources, and promoting student internships and practical training, further clarifying the key directions for connecting industry and education resources and implementing cooperation.
In this survey, the college gained a deep understanding of the trends in industry development and talent demand characteristics in the intersecting fields of design and technology, and reached several preliminary cooperation consensuses with relevant universities and enterprises. This survey not only provides practical evidence for optimizing talent training programs and expanding students' practical experience and employment pathways, but also accumulates important experience in promoting the precise alignment of discipline construction with industry demand, deepening the collaborative education model integrating industry and education, and enhancing research innovation and social service capabilities. Going forward, the college will take this survey as an opportunity to continuously strengthen regular interactions with top universities and industry enterprises, meticulously implement various activities for enterprise visits and job creation, systematically advance the construction of the school-enterprise collaborative education mechanism, iteratively optimize talent training programs, continuously expand practical platforms and employment channels, comprehensively enhance the quality of talent cultivation and the level of discipline development, and better serve the upgrading of industries and the high-quality development of the regional economy and society.
