Industry-University-Research.
After World War II, with the development of the trend of mutual association between universities and industrial enterprises, more and more high-tech industrial scientific research institutions and industrial companies have been established around universities with strong scientific research strength, thus forming the Boston-Cambridge Science and Industry Complex, Washington-Baltimore Science and Industry Complex, new york-New Jersey Science and Industry Complex, San Francisco-Palo Alto Science and Industry Complex and Los Angeles Alumni. Among them, the "San Francisco-Palo Alto Science and Technology Complex" formed around Stanford University, University of California and California Institute of Technology is the largest regional science and technology complex on the west coast of the United States.
American News and World Report once conducted a meaningful survey, and Berkeley ranked fourth in terms of which schools in the United States can provide the best education for future engineers. Berkeley strives to establish contact with large enterprises nearby, benefiting schools, students and enterprises. For example, schools have achieved remarkable results in serving the society. Because of its advanced research in computer-aided design and manufacturing, it can obtain donations and equipment worth more than $6,543,800 from more than a dozen semiconductor companies. In addition, the school provides many opportunities for students to contact with the most advanced equipment and research work. At the same time, due to the prominent position of schools in popular subjects, enterprises and companies also open their doors to their graduates, thus benefiting both enterprises and students.
Compatibility and freedom of thought
"Inclusiveness and freedom of thought" is the core of the guiding ideology of Berkeley. The University of California is famous for its academic freedom and student autonomy. In Berkeley, there are no constraints from conservative traditions and no insurmountable rules. In this free land, you can imagine everything and explore the future world freely; Here, even if others don't agree with you, your ideas will always be respected. It is precisely because of this free thought that countless great ideas and discoveries are bred and matured here. Presidents of the University of California cherish this precious tradition very much. Even when this liberal thought conflicts with the real world in the United States, the presidents never give up the protection of the liberal tradition of the University of California.
Successive presidents of the University of California have encouraged students to stand on their own feet. President Sproul used to be an activist in the student movement. During his term of office, he also strongly advocated the autonomy of students and teachers. During President Wheeler's administration, he launched the "Senior Students' Role" activity, which is to let senior students organize their own student unions, drive and lead junior students, and let students' study, extracurricular activities and student exchanges be presided over by themselves. In this way, on the one hand, students have been trained in college and have the ability to adapt to society; On the other hand, it also lightens the task of teachers' management, so that teachers can concentrate on teaching and manage students' affairs without distraction. Wheeler took advantage of the situation, made effective use of student organizations, made its activities fully carried out, and its role and influence were expanding day by day, and eventually became one of the three major organizations of the University of California. On the one hand, students' participation in school management in the form of autonomous associations conforms to the principle of academic autonomy, on the other hand, it is also conducive to maintaining a new situation in the school, rather than gradually becoming conservative and backward.
