In addition to the basic functions of the educational system, students can participate in online teaching online to interact with teachers.
The meeting then reviewed the results of previous seminars and work results since 2018. Since the launch of the project in February 2018, symposia of University-Enterprise relations, online courses, case design, and guidance of student corporate internship have been successively held. The symposium on University-Enterprise relations was successfully held in NUAA in March 2018. At present, NUAA has signed the largest number of University-Enterprise memorandum contracts and been the largest-scale University in University-Enterprise cooperation among the member universities of the project. The meeting also discussed the statistics of the questionnaires issued to contracted enterprises. As an important part of the project, the contracted enterprises are required to provide experience in the cooperation with the corresponding universities and analyze what needs improving in the future. The participating universities analyzed the data provided by the enterprises’ questionnaire, summarized the rules, and made the follow-up work plan. The project also requires each university to assign a faculty member to serve as a placement officer of student enterprise internship. The responsibilities of the placement officers were discussed at the symposium in October 2018. This meeting summarized the related work of 2018.
