personnel training

Li Peigen believes that from the perspective of the cultivation of innovative talents in universities, a qualified graduate should have the following basic abilities when he leaves school: first, he should have the ability to think correctly and solve practical problems. For example, the design of a machine, whether conceptual design or overall design, should know to start from the process. Second, they should have the ability of autonomous learning. The ability of autonomous learning should include two aspects: the ability to question things and the ability to conceive to solve problems. They should be able to find problems from the world people are used to, ask questions, and at the same time be good at putting forward ideas that can solve problems. They should also be good at learning actively and optimistically from the collective, from life and from practice, not only learning knowledge, but also cultivating ability; they should learn to question, and they should also be good at choosing the right path to learn from other people's failure experience. Third, there should be synergy. Modern frontier scientific propositions are mostly completed by many people. Collaboration is not only the collaboration between students, but also the collaboration between different students. speech draft (2010-2014): 2010 memory; 2011 future; 2012 distance; 2013 farewell; 2014 regret - departure speech. he won the second prize of national teaching achievement in 2010.
