Main achievements

Achievements in scientific research

Zhou Ji researched and organized the implementation of the technical route of developing and popularizing the application of numerical control, CAD and intelligent manufacturing; put forward and practiced the algorithm theory of monotonicity analysis optimization and direct interpolation of numerical control machining; presided over the development of Huazhong I-type numerical control system and series software products of optimization design and Mechanical CAD, which are widely used in machinery, aviation, aerospace, energy and other industries. as of July 2013, Zhou Ji has published more than 200 papers and 12 books.

Political initiatives

From 2003 to 2009, when Zhou Ji was Minister of education of the people's Republic of China, he carried out a number of reform measures on education.

Secondary vocational school enrollment expansion

In 2005, Zhou Ji said in an interview with the special program "policy makers talk" of CCTV news channel "news reception hall" on Friday that the biggest move in China's education field in 2005 was to expand the enrollment of secondary vocational and technical schools by 1 million. According to theory, the ideal ratio of students entering ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools should be 1:1. Therefore, the Ministry of Education decided to expand the enrollment of secondary vocational schools by 1 million in 2005 and 2006. The goal is to make the enrollment scale of secondary vocational schools reach 8 million by 2010, which is equal to that of ordinary high schools.

rural compulsory education

In March 2008, when Zhou Ji was visiting the people's Internet to talk about the hot issues of education, he said: in the past few years, the Chinese government has placed rural education in the top priority of the whole education work. The new education funds are mainly used in rural areas, and a series of major measures have been taken to narrow the education gap between urban and rural areas, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, the realization of rural education Rural free compulsory education. Second, we have implemented the "two basics" plan in the western region. By the end of 2007, we have completed the "two basics" plan in the western region. That is to say, we have basically popularized nine-year compulsory education and basically eliminated illiteracy among young and middle-aged people. from 2010 to 2017, when Zhou Ji was president of the Chinese Academy of engineering, he carried out a number of reform measures on the academician system.

Revision of the articles of association of the Chinese Academy of Engineering

In June 2014, in an exclusive interview with people's daily, Zhou Ji pointed out that in accordance with the spirit of the revision of the constitution of the Chinese Academy of engineering, the main work in the second half of 2014 is to further improve and revise a series of management measures related to the increase of election methods and regulations, as well as the scientific code of ethics for academicians, so as to reduce the number of academicians as much as possible Non academic factors affect or interfere with the work of academicians, avoid linking the honorary title of academicians with unreasonable material interests, strengthen the academic leading function of academicians and the exemplary role of scientific morality, and make the title of academicians return to the essence of academic and honorary orientation, so as to better play the role of Academicians, better discover and cultivate top-notch talents, and better safeguard the honor of academicians And dignity, so as to better stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of scientific and technological workers, especially young talents.

personnel training

On June 1, 2016, when Zhou Ji made a work report at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th academician conference of the Chinese Academy of engineering, he said: young talents are the future of Engineering Science and technology. All academicians of the Chinese Academy of engineering should be good at finding young talents, vigorously promote young talents, and pave the way for outstanding innovative talents.
