School of Resources and Environmental Engineering Successfully Holds a Series of Undergraduate Major Lectures for the 2025 Cohort

To help the 2025 freshmen clarify their major orientations, formulate academic plans scientifically, and stimulate enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship, the school organized a series of separate major lectures during the Undergraduate Practical Teaching Week (Weeks 19–20) for freshmen of three majors: Water Supply and Drainage Science and Engineering, Process Equipment and Control Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.

Adopting a hybrid online-offline format, the lectures closely centered on major demands and addressed the key concerns of freshmen, winning wide praise from students.

Among them, the lectures for Water Supply and Drainage Science and Engineering and Process Equipment and Control Engineering were held simultaneously at 10:00 on January 19, and the lecture for Environmental Engineering was successfully conducted at 14:00 on January 21.

Integrating disciplinary characteristics, each session invited a presentation team consisting of off-campus industry experts, on-campus core teachers and major directors, building a comprehensive and multi-dimensional bridge for freshmen to understand their majors.

Off-campus industry experts focused on university students’ innovation and entrepreneurship competitions. By dissecting typical award-winning cases, explaining core competition skills, and sorting out key points for the whole preparation process, they helped freshmen clarify competition ideas, resolve confusion in preparation, and encouraged students to make full use of spare time to engage in innovation and entrepreneurship practice, so as to empower professional learning and temper comprehensive qualities through practice.

Newly recruited teachers, based on the cutting-edge of disciplines, shared the latest research achievements, application scenarios of core technologies and future development trends in their fields, helping freshmen broaden their academic horizons and establish forward-thinking mindsets.

Senior teachers, relying on years of teaching accumulation and industry experience, systematically introduced the development history, disciplinary positioning, core competitiveness and employment prospects of each major, guiding freshmen to deepen their professional understanding and strengthen their professional identity and sense of belonging.

Major directors interpreted the talent training programs in detail, focusing on key contents such as the core curriculum system, elective course selection strategies, and the accreditation criteria and acquisition pathways for innovation and entrepreneurship credits, providing clear guidance for freshmen to plan their four-year academic studies, helping them allocate time rationally and anchor learning goals.

This series of lectures demonstrates the school’s high attention to the cultivation of freshmen and serves as an important platform for freshmen to adapt to university life quickly and identify their major orientations accurately.

The lectures are professional, instructive and practical, effectively answering the core questions of freshmen in professional learning, career planning and innovation and entrepreneurship practice.

It is hoped that the 2025 freshmen will take this lecture as an opportunity to take the initiative in learning, explore actively, delve deeply into their professional fields, temper solid abilities, and strive to grow into high-quality talents with both professional literacy and innovative capabilities, contributing their youthful energy to the development of the ecological and environmental protection industry and social progress.
