Recently, the Ministry of Education announced the approval results of undergraduate majors in colleges and universities in 2020. Three undergraduate majors, Photoelectric Information Science and Engineering, Robotics Engineering and Aviation Service art and Management, were approved by the Ministry of Education, among which Aviation Service Art and Management is the national control layout specialty and the only aviation service undergraduate major in Shanghai universities at present.
The major of Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering aims to cultivate engineering and technical talents with the research and development ability of optoelectronic information science engineering, product design and production, which can meet the urgent needs of the development of optoelectronic industry in the process of industrial transformation and structural adjustment in the Yangtze River Delta, and respond to the needs of Shanghai to build an international intelligent manufacturing center for optoelectronic information industry.
Robotics Engineering is a transformation and upgrading of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering. It is a new interdisciplinary major of mechanical engineering, control science and engineering, computer science and technology, etc. It can promote the interdisciplinary integration of machinery, automation and control in SUES, drive the related traditional majors to develop in the direction of intelligence, and continuously promote the construction of New Engineering and Technical Disciplines.
The major of Aviation Service Art and Management is based on more than 20 years' running practice of flight attendant major, which further meets the needs of aviation industry, improves the training level of students and highlights professional characteristics. It aims to cultivate high-level applied talents who have high artistic and humanistic qualities, strong interpersonal communication skills and service awareness, and can engage in civil aviation service and management related work in high-end service enterprises such as airlines and airport groups.
The establishment of the three new majors this time is an important measure for SUES to continuously optimize the discipline layout. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, SUES will continue to focus on the Ministry of Education's Six Excellence and One Top-notch Plan 2.0, the first-class undergraduate Double Ten Thousand Plan, to closely follow the national and regional development needs, and to base itself on the orientation of running a first-class high-level modern engineering application-oriented university in China and the training goal of high-quality engineering application-oriented talents. Guided by the construction of new engineering, new arts, new medicine and new agriculture, SUES will further optimize the discipline layout, actively develop new majors, transform and upgrade traditional majors, and create characteristic and advantageous majors. SUES will focus on the improvement of professional connotation, integrate teaching resources, promote the collaborative development of multi disciplines and multi majors, effectively improve the quality of talent training, and enhance the ability of education to serve economic and social development.
