As the only university in the country named after “textile”, Wuhan Textile University is aiming at the needs of economic and social development based on the concept of “relying on textiles and not relying on textiles” and exploring with the idea of ​​“professional embedded industry chain and industry nurturing professional group”. The establishment of a teaching and service-oriented university has cultivated a large number of professional and applied talents, resulting in a number of major achievements that have a revolutionary impact on the textile industry. The school has thus entered a period of virtuous development and provided a success for the transformation of industrial institutions. experience.

The pursuit of “specialized and precise” highlights a professional layout of textile features embedded in the industrial chain, allowing reporters to understand the professional settings of Wuhan Textile University at a glance, relying on textile materials, textile processing, dyeing and finishing, product testing, product design, and textile trade and economics. The industrial chain corresponds to 28 core specialties embedded in polymer materials, textile engineering, applied chemistry, automation, art design, accounting, and environmental engineering.

Zhang Chang, executive deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Wuhan Textile University, introduced this picture to outline the outline of the school's “professional embedded industry chain and industrial nursing professional group” and showed the school’s idea of ​​running a textile specialty.

China's colleges and universities once set off to change the school's reputation. The eight textile colleges in China have all but abandoned the name of the original industry. Wuhan Textile University has also changed its name from Wuhan Textile Institute to Wuhan Institute of Technology. After a while, school decision-makers increasingly realized that as a provincial university with a deep background in the textile industry, only in a certain dimension to achieve the characteristics and level, in order to expand the development of space in the universities in Hubei.

School Party Committee ** Shangang analysis, if follow the "211" "985" college run, eager to "climb the level", blindly pursue "tall", then how can "fight can't afford", it will inevitably appear "weak and all", only Based on the historical accumulation of textiles, based on the characteristics of the pursuit of "professionalism", do something for nothing, in order to concentrate on doing a high-level university.

Based on the analysis of the development needs of the textile industry and its own advantages and characteristics, the school has determined the concept of “professional embedded industry chain, industry nurturing professional group”, and constructed textile development strategy, new textile materials, textile machinery, textile printing and dyeing, textile cleaner production, textile Digitalization and other six university clusters with textile characteristics as the core, and actively adapting to the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry and changes in market demand, building new majors, reconstructing the old profession, eliminating 4 majors with low levels of education and poor employment, and creating clothing Design, material science and engineering, textile science and engineering, and a number of brand professionals.

Combined with the needs of the development of the modern textile industry, the reform of professional courses has been carried out drastically. The school has built a curriculum group that reflects the common technology of the industry and a special subject group that emphasizes the intersection of disciplines. Each major required course is used as an elective course for other majors. It has developed more than 50 professional crossover courses targeted at key links in the textile industry chain. Batch of teaching materials and provincial and national quality courses.

Zhang Shangyong, executive president of the Institute of Textiles, said with deep feelings that from the teaching plan, the talent training program to the professional construction and the curriculum setting, it is closely related to the “textile” and there is vitality, which is different from other similar schools. Features.

The professional group and the curriculum group closely follow the demand for talents in the transformation and upgrading of the industrial chain. The students’ knowledge is in one-to-one correspondence with the various links in the industrial chain, which is conducive to the cultivation of applied innovations with industrial chain scientific knowledge and industrial chain technology capabilities. Talent. Feng Jun, Director of Admissions and Employment Service, said that there is a high degree of integration between the majors and employment. Over the past five years, the ratio of supply and demand for graduates has been maintained at more than 1:4.5. The rate of one-time employment has reached 98.29%, and the employment rate of graduates has reached 73%. The occupational coincidence rate is 48%, which is 6-7 percentage points higher than the national non-211 institutions. Among the graduates, there emerged a group of enterprise technical backbones supporting Hubei and important textile bases such as the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Employers generally reflected the graduates of spinners with a solid professional foundation, strong practical ability, and high overall quality.

Characteristic development lays a foundation for the university to play a pivotal role in colleges and universities in Hubei Province. It ranked first for 12 consecutive years in the “Newcomer Award” competition in the national fashion design, and for the 13th consecutive year, it ranked “China's colleges and universities' fashion design professional rankings” as the top. The only provincial university that won the first prize for national science and technology progress. Beijing University President Zhou Qifeng deeply appreciated Wuhan's adherence to its characteristic development model after examining Wuhan.

Positioning “Teaching Service Type” to Achieve University Values ​​Shang Steel said that the modern textile industry has decided not to use spinning weaving in traditional concepts. Textile products are widely used in aerospace, medical and health, and water transportation. This has expanded the space for schools to serve the economic society, and has also provided a broad arena for the cultivation of applied talents.

To this end, the school identifies its own positioning, does not rush to do a “teaching research type” or “comprehensive university,” but instead strives to create a teaching and service-oriented university, keeping a close eye on the textile industry and regional economic development, and promoting cooperation between industry and education, and all-round construction. Adapt to the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry and local economic development talent training system.

Spinners and companies have established mutually beneficial cooperation and collaboration relationships in personnel training and scientific research. In the interview with Wuhan Textile University, from time to time we will mention the Chemical Engineering School Run Class, the Fashion Institute’s Pure Class, and the Electronic Academy E Jieban. They are excellent talent training classes established in cooperation between the company and the school. In 2011, Spinning was elected to the Ministry of Education “Excellence Engineers cultivate pilot universities, and 16 such special classes have been established. In cooperation with the textile enterprises, the “Rongrun Project” was implemented. In more than two years, 300 students have formed 60 research teams to carry out innovative experiments; the topic of graduation design (thesis) has come from teachers’ horizontal topics or actual production of enterprises. More than half.

The establishment of "school-enterprise-school"-centered teacher's teaching ability-raising mechanism and cooperation between production and learning have become an effective means to strengthen the construction of the teaching staff. The school implemented a “double hundred project” combining production, education and research. That is, 100 entrepreneurs enter the campus and 100 doctoral enterprising companies. They have sent 5 batches of more than 120 teachers to the company for professional practice from 3 months to one year. More than 150 entrepreneurs or The technical backbones of enterprises went to the schools to give lectures or served as undergraduate business mentors, and established a group of teachers' workshops with professional characteristics.

In the past two years, Wuhan Textile University has led the formation of the "China's Embedded Composite Spinning Technology Technology Innovation Alliance" and "China Ramie Industry Development Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance" to organize the implementation of science and technology services for the local economy "one province, one demonstration, one city, one project. “Projects, carry out strategic technology cooperation with governments in cities and counties in Hubei Province and the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other places, covering textile technology, sewage treatment, functional fibers, apparel fabrics and other fields, providing strong economic benefits for enterprises. Strong technical support. In November 2009, Wuhan Textile University and Puyang Jihua 3509 Textile Co., Ltd. cooperated to set up a project team. It successfully developed the functional cotton-modified Polyester Fabric for two years, providing new functional fabrics for outdoor sportswear and military dress. . Due to its good performance, the price is lower than similar foreign products and is welcomed by customers after they are put on the market.

The use of advantageous disciplines to serve the textile industry and serve the regional economy has become wider and wider. Zhang Shangyong introduced that in 2012, the school was selected for the “Basic Midwestern University Capability Construction Project”, established a national and local joint engineering laboratory, and was granted the “Hubei 2011 Collaborative Innovation Center”. In November 2012, the school and Hubei Province’s fiber inspection The Bureau signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement, established joint laboratories, established production, research, and teaching practice bases; five professors were appointed to the provincial fiber deterrent bureau technical experts; and three specific project agreements such as the "new research on textile clothing color fastness testing technology" were signed. .

Wuhan Textile University was recently honored by the Hubei Provincial Committee for "promoting the advanced universities in Hubei's economic and social development." Professor Liu Xianjun, Dean of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, believes that local universities must first become teaching and service-oriented universities. Wuhan Textile University has identified the position, highlighted the advantages of textile features, and is only as good as running a school. It truly reflects the value of a university.

Keeping a Close Eye on Industry Demands and Promoting Scientific and Technological Innovation Prof. Zhu Ping of Wuhan Textile University identified the key technology for extracting functional alginate fibers from seaweed. Recently, it was identified by a group of experts from several Chinese engineering academicians. This technology broke the monopoly of technology in the United Kingdom and the United States and won eight national invention patents. Alginic acid, a high value-added, green, non-polluting new fiber, can be widely used in medical dressings, facial masks, etc. It will promote the development of China's textile industry to the high-end precision level.

This is an example of technological innovation in Wuhan Textile University. In recent years, the school organization task force has carried out many original researches on the key technologies and cutting-edge technologies of the textile industry. It has achieved a number of major scientific and technological achievements such as embedded spinning, Roujie spinning, alginate fiber, and "artificial blood vessels," leading the way in modern times. Textile industry development direction.

Prof. Xu Weilin invented the “Embedded System to Target New Spinning Technology”, solved the problems in the world spinning technology, brought the technology of the entire spinning industry, and thus won the first-class national scientific and technological progress in 2009. He presides over the research project of "Permanent Soft Smooth Spinning Technology and Its Application", which has been certified by the China Federation of Textile Industry to reach the international advanced level. At the 2012 China Textile Academic Annual Conference, Xu Weilin became the only winner of the 2012 China Textile Academies Award, and was qualified as a candidate of the Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Xu Weilin, who has been hired as a "Cheung Kong Scholar," said with deep feeling: "The achievement of these major achievements has benefited from the school's adherence to the characteristics of running schools and attaching importance to scientific research and innovation."

President Wei Yiliang said proudly that a series of innovative scientific and technological achievements have promoted the technological progress and industrial upgrading of the textile industry, greatly improved the school’s social influence and status, and injected greater vitality into the development of the school’s characteristics.
