On April 18th, the first Council meeting of the Higher Education Digitalization Professional Committee of the China Association of Private Education and the first Forum on the Innovative Development of Higher Education Digitalization were held in Sanya, hosted by the Higher Education Digitalization Professional Committee of the China Association of Private Education. President Li Kangju was invited to attend the forum and delivered a report titled "Exploration of Educational Reform in Private Engineering Colleges in the Context of the Digital Intelligence Era", which was widely praised. At the election of the conference, our school was elected as the vice-chairman unit of the special committee, and Li Kangju was elected as the vice-chairman of the special committee.
In the report, Li Kangju closely followed the new requirements put forward by the new industrialization for higher education, comprehensively presented the achievements of the school's modern industry college construction, and elaborated in depth on the cutting-edge thoughts of the digital transformation of colleges and universities. He stated that digital technology is currently reshaping the landscape of higher education, from the innovation of teaching models to the optimization of management methods, and then to the upgrading of talent cultivation systems. Only by proactively integrating into the wave of technological change and taking digital transformation as a breakthrough point can private colleges and universities break through the shackles of resources and achieve a leap in educational quality and the shaping of distinctive advantages. Facing the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, our school actively adapts to the trend of change and has carried out in-depth cooperation with leading enterprises in the industry such as Huawei, Midea, Rockwell Automation and KUKA, establishing 17 modern industrial colleges. Relying on these industrial colleges, the school serves the national strategy of promoting new industrialization and the Liaoning strategy of "Digital Liaoning, Intelligent Manufacturing Strong Province". Oriented by industrial demands, it innovatively builds a "Six Cooperations and Five integrations" school-enterprise collaborative education model, and is fully committed to cultivating high-quality applied talents that meet the needs of The Times.
Li Kangju emphasized that this year, China has embarked on a new three-year period of its education digitalization strategy. The deep integration of artificial intelligence and education has become a key component. Promoting educational innovation, enhancing management levels, improving educational quality, and empowering teachers' growth will be the core directions for the digital transformation of universities. At present, our school's DeepSeek "Zhi Qing · Shen Kong" AI computing power center based on the Ascend platform has been successfully launched, marking a new stage in the digital transformation of our school's education. In the future, the school will take "Intelligence Engine · Deep Space" as the starting point, continuously deepen the integration of artificial intelligence and education, and provide a unique "Shenyang Institute of Technology Solution" for the digital transformation of higher education.
The convening of this forum is an important practice in thoroughly implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and promoting the digital education strategy action. The sharing of many experts has provided important ideas for exploring the digital transformation of private higher education. Becoming a member of the council of the Higher Education Digitalization Professional Committee of the China Private Education Association will bring brand-new opportunities for our school's digital transformation and inject strong impetus into the high-quality development of the school.
