Exploration and Practice of the Production-University-Research-Application Model for Rail Transit Construction Equipment Based on the Concept of “Open Education”

Taking into account the talent demand in the equipment manufacturing sector within Sichuan's "5+1" and Chengdu's "5+5+1" industrial systems, Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), leveraging its academic strengths and educational assets in rail transit, and embracing the concept of "open education," has embarked on the exploration and implementation of the industry-university-research-application model for rail transit construction equipment with leading enterprises in the rail transit industry. SWJTU fully collaborates with industries and enterprises in the top-level design of talent training, faculty involvement, curriculum development, practical resources, scientific research collaboration, and the implementation of research outcomes. By aligning with industry needs through adjusting professional focuses, optimizing the curriculum framework, forming a team of dual-qualified teachers, engaging enterprise mentors fully in curriculum development and teaching, establishing joint research facilities, fostering research collaborations, and facilitating the exchange of achievements between the university and enterprises, SWJTU has established a talent training model for rail transit construction equipment that integrates education, industry, employment, and entrepreneurship.
