Signal of new professional intelligence and distinctive release
2024-04-03
Recently, the Ministry of Education issued a notice on the announcement of the filing and approval results for undergraduate majors in ordinary higher education institutions in 2023. Among them, 24 new majors, including electronic information materials, soft matter science and engineering, high-power semiconductor science and engineering, biological breeding technology, ecological restoration, and health science and technology, were officially included in the undergraduate major directory, with 816 majors listed in the directory. The addition of new majors not only has a strong intelligent color, but also many of them have significant characteristics, attracting widespread attention. The relevant person in charge of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education stated that the professional setting and adjustment work this time has four main characteristics: serving national strategies, targeting regional needs, strengthening cross integration, and highlighting employment orientation. In recent years, the number of new majors included in the undergraduate major directory in China has been increasing. According to statistics, there are 31 and 21 new majors included in the catalog in 2021 and 2022, respectively. From 2021 to 2023, a total of 76 new majors were added, accounting for nearly 10% of the total number of majors in the directory. Chinese universities adhere to a demand oriented approach, quickly updating majors according to changes in social demand, and cultivating professional talents that are needed and scarce by society. Our country's universities implement a filing or approval system for adjusting and setting up majors. If the majors adjusted by universities are within the professional directory, they only need to be registered. This expands the autonomy of universities in setting up majors. The increase in majors included in the undergraduate major directory also means that universities have more majors to set up independently. This also requires universities to make good use of their autonomy in setting up majors, combine their educational positioning and conditions, predict the demand for professional talents in social development, and comprehensively consider the situation of other universities offering similar majors. They should continuously optimize and adjust their disciplinary majors to avoid rushing to add new majors, resulting in too many similar majors and a lack of distinctive professional education. There is another major highlight in the establishment and adjustment of undergraduate majors in 2023, which is the addition, revocation, and adjustment of a total of 3389 major locations, the largest in history. Among them, 1673 new locations were added and 1670 were revoked, with the number basically unchanged. This is the deployment of the Ministry of Education to optimize and adjust disciplines and majors in universities. In 2023, the Ministry of Education clearly proposed to optimize and adjust the distribution of about 20% of disciplines and majors in universities by 2025, establish a new batch of disciplines and majors that are suitable for new technologies, new industries, new formats, and new models, and eliminate disciplines and majors that are not suitable for economic and social development. From a macro perspective, timely adjustment of university majors in accordance with national strategies and social development changes plays an important guiding role. For example, in recent years, there has been a strong emphasis on the addition of specialized intelligence. In 2023, new majors such as Material Intelligence Technology and Agricultural and Forestry Intelligent Equipment Engineering were added; In 2021, new majors such as smart water conservancy, smart energy engineering, smart transportation engineering, and space intelligent electric propulsion technology were added. This is a strong response to the rapid development trend of artificial intelligence, which will better achieve resonance between professional construction and national needs, and solidify the talent foundation for economic and social development. The establishment and adjustment of new majors in universities must be tailored to the needs of the university, and scientific and rigorous argumentation must be carried out. Do not blindly pursue the speed of "updating", but must emphasize characteristics and quality. According to reports, cloud
