Practical Education Process

We have established cooperative relationships with nearly 30 enterprises; Co construction of school enterprise cooperation practice base and co creation of school enterprise joint laboratory group; Organize and guide students to participate in "industry academia research" practice; Cultivate excellent engineers who understand the industry, know technology, and are capable of research and development.

According to the training program for the automation major, there are currently 21 courses that offer experimental classes, 20 of which include comprehensive and design-oriented experiments. These comprehensive and design-oriented experiments account for 95.2% of all experiments. The major currently has 10 specialized laboratories, all of which are open labs, with opening hours from Monday to Sunday, 8:30 am to 10:00 pm, meeting the experimental needs of over 95% of the students in this major.

Approval has been granted for the establishment of the Guangdong Provincial Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center-Digital Manufacturing Training Center, which is operating well. Partnerships have been established with leading enterprises such as Würth (Shenzhen), Han's Laser, BYD, JPT, Tanaka Precision Machinery, and Yifeng Automation to set up 62 off-campus internship cooperative enterprises. In addition, there are 2 joint laboratories and 1 elite class for talent cultivation, with the number and capacity of off-campus internship and training bases meeting the requirements for educational operations.

By the end of 2023, an application-oriented talent training model emphasizing practical teaching and collaboration between schools and enterprises had been established. Students in this major have won over 50 national-level awards in various disciplinary competitions within the field and more than 70 awards of other types, continuously enhancing the ability to serve society and the professional influence.

The college selects outstanding students to participate in short-term exchange and learning activities overseas every semester. Senior students also have the opportunity to go to countries such as Germany and Switzerland for long-term exchange and learning.
