We should stimulate further the activity of trainings for talents combiningindustries and schools, give full play to the important role of industrial resources in thetraining for talents with engineering technologies, establish and improve the talent trainingsystem integrating both industries and education and promote the comprehensive and deepcollaboration between universities and enterprises in the faculty team, curriculum module,practice base, major projects, key laboratories, etc. Five, continue to optimize and update the resources of engineering talent training andpromote the opening and sharing of high-quality educational resources. We should activelyadapt to the new challenges and new requirements for the development of the

He was one of the co-leaders in 2013-2014 of the ASEE Virtual Community of Practice (VCP) for mechanics educators across the country. His current research focuses on student problem-solving pro- cesses and use of worked examples, change models and evidence-based teaching practices in engineering curricula, and the role of non-cognitive and affective factors in student academic outcomes and overall success.Prof. Jeffrey F.

which is a major, but littlerecognized, challenge for engineering education. The use of computer assisted learning toprovide the required knowledge is already being promoted as an alternative. Clearly, thereis no need for a lecture if the same material is available by alternative methods and can beat a time and paced to suit an individual. Considering the effectiveness of such onlinelearning as the only metric, as educators are wont to do, is foolish. What will increasinglydrive adoption of automated learning platforms at all but the most elite institutions iseffectiveness vs. cost [26]. If there is no need for lectures, and laboratory work can besimulated, what is the purpose of a university other than as an aid to social mobility? Auniversity
