On the afternoon of November 30th, a seminar was held on the construction of the first-class disciplines. Mr Zhou Peng, vice director of graduate department elaborated two draft plans from the point of guidelines, targets, constructions rules, tasks and measures etc.. One of them is Striving for the Construction of the First-Class Disciplines and the other is the Construction of Doctoral and Master’s Programs. After the introduction, the participants discussed some points in the two plans, made some suggestions and exchanged their opinions.
Luo Yongge pointed out that the construction of “double first-class” has risen to the national strategic level and the school should pay attention to it. The focus of discipline construction in the future is the construction of program, which should be also on the target list of 2018. Breakthrough in the construction of staff is another important factor, which will in return boost the construction of disciplines and make HUAT step up on a new platform.
President Zhong also made a speech in the seminar. He said the construction of programs is an important testing element of discipline construction, which needs a breakthrough and great deal of effort in the introduction of talented people. During the process of construction, we should take into account of the economic need of the development of the state, industry and local areas, face the great challenge and impact brought about by the transformation of automotive industry, adjust the thought of discipline construction according to the new problems and the new demand. On the basis of strengthening the foundation of traditional discipline construction, we should also seek new growth point in the emerging disciplines. He also asked that detailed measures be planned in accordance with the standards of construction of disciplines and programs and that gap between HUAT and other universities be found out so as to make sure that periodical work be carried out timely.
