FromSeptember 16th to 18th, the National Finals of the 2021 EngineeringPractice and Innovation Ability Competition for Chinese UniversityStudents was held in the new building of Jiading Gymnasium (ShanghaiMatch Point). The teachers and students of the thermal drive vehiclesof the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering have undergonecontinuous tactical adjustments on the spot. With unremitting effortssuch as, community competition, etc., it finally stood out from the59 teams in the final with the fifth best result in the country, andwon the national gold medal for outstanding performance. This is alsothe only national gold medal in Shanghai for the heat-driven carcompetition.
The2021 Engineering Practice and Innovation Ability Competition forChinese University Students is an important event included in the"Ministry of Education Evaluation and Competition List". Itis an upgrade and improvement of the original National UniversityStudent Engineering Training Comprehensive Ability Competition. Inorder to comprehensively improve the comprehensive quality andability of college students' engineering innovation, the number ofparticipating projects has been increased from the original 2competitions to 18 competitions in 6 major sections starting fromthis year. The finals set up a total of 3 tracks, 8 competitions, 205universities and 427 teams from 32 provinces, municipalities,autonomous regions, and special zones across the country. More than1,500 students and 460 referees participated. The match points willbe held in the form of a distributed competition at the same time. InShanghai, 14 teams with no more than 2 teams selected for eachcompetition will participate in the national finals. Our school isguided by teachers Zhang Meihua and Zhang Chunyan, and students LiHaoyang, Ma Longfei, Gu Rongyang, and Jia Pengju participated in thethermal drive car team, which stood out from many participating teamsand achieved the fifth best result in the country and won the goldmedal. Teacher Zhang Chunyan has been participatingin the competition for 12 years since the first college studentengineering training comprehensive ability competition was held in2009. Each time he won the national first prize for the school.Through unremitting perseverance and hardwork, she also made great breakthroughs in this competition.
Duringthe preparations for the competition, the teachers and studentsforgot to sleep and eat, using the laboratory as their home,constantly researching new project plans, and optimizing andimproving the design. Participating students expressed that throughthe competition, they had a deeper understanding of professionalcourses such as mechanical design, mechanical principles, and projectmanagement in the curriculum system, which stimulated their stronginterest in mechanical design and manufacturing; The components areperfectly designed and manufactured. Not only can you learn a lot ofknowledge that you can't learn in class, but also cultivateinnovative thinking, enhance practical ability and teamwork spirit.
TheChina University Student Engineering Practice and Innovation AbilityCompetition is based on the comprehensive engineering training andteaching platform of domestic universities. It implements the spiritof the National Education Conference and the spirit of the NationalUndergraduate Education Work Conference in the New Era, and fullyimplements the fundamental task of Lide to foster people and buildnew engineering disciplines. In order to lead, focus on talenttraining, highlight multi-disciplinary cross-collaboration andinnovation creation, and create an engineering innovation competitionthat integrates major national planning, university science, andmajor under the background of innovation-driven and manufacturingpower. The competition adheres to the purpose of educating people,insists on promoting teaching, promoting learning, and promotingreform by competition. From the perspective of improving students'engineering practice and innovation ability, it stimulates students'interest in learning and engineering innovation potential, promotesthe integration of multiple disciplines, and promotes studentsAll-round development will promote the comprehensive and in-depthcomprehensive reform of the higher engineering education curriculumsystem, training model, and organizational mechanism.
