1. What about Shaanxi University of Science and Technology in the eyes of Shaanxi people?
In the eyes of Shaanxi people, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology is a good university. Strong style of study, rigorous teaching and a long history of running a school. Specifically, what are the advantages of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology?
First, it ranks high among provincial universities.
In 20 18 and 20 19, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology ranked among the top four provincial universities in terms of the number of projects approved by the National Natural Science Foundation. Shaanxi University of Science and Technology ranks first among provincial universities in the national competition evaluation of ordinary universities. In terms of the number of effective invention patents owned by universities in China, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology ranks among the top 50 in China for nine consecutive years, ranking first among universities in Shaanxi Province. Therefore, in all kinds of competitions and scientific research projects, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology ranks higher among provincial universities.
Second, there are many provincial famous teachers and teaching teams.
In terms of teaching staff, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology has not only 5 national excellent teachers, 7 "New Century Excellent Talents Supporters of the Ministry of Education", but also 1 Shaanxi "Sanqin Scholar" distinguished professor, 8 leaders of key disciplines in Shaanxi Province, 18 Shaanxi famous teachers and other provincial and ministerial figures. Judging from the teaching team, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology has a national teaching team and 13 provincial teaching teams. Such a strong faculty is enough for it to train a batch of high-quality students and lead the local development.
Third, engineering and fine arts are strong.
In the ranking list of the best disciplines in the country in 2020, the school's light industry technology and engineering discipline ranked fifth in the country; Chemical engineering and technology, materials science and engineering disciplines ranked in the top 30%. In addition to the above majors, animation, textile engineering, fashion design and engineering are national specialties of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology. Therefore, in addition to the major of light industry, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology has a relatively strong professional strength in art design.
2. Why didn't 2 1 1 be given to Shaanxi University of Science and Technology?
Shaanxi University of Science and Technology is one of the key universities with the longest history in China, and it also features light industry. However, such a university with academic advantages has not been selected for the 2 1 1 project, nor has it been selected for the national double-class construction list. Looking at the development of the school, I think there are two main reasons.
First, the speed of professional transformation is slow.
After the reform and opening up, industry has developed rapidly, industrial technology has become increasingly mature, and the speed of product upgrading is fast. At this time, people's needs are not limited to daily necessities, but need more new products that conform to the times and are more humanized. Although Shaanxi University of Science and Technology is a university with good light industry, its advantages, such as leather and papermaking, are mostly at the end of production and can only meet the needs of people's daily necessities. In this context, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology has fallen into a bottleneck period of development, which is also the main reason why it was not selected for the 2 1 1 project.
Second, the financial support is relatively insufficient.
Shaanxi University of Science and Technology is located in the northwest of China, where the quality and speed of economic development are hard to compare with those in the central and eastern regions. Therefore, the possibility of obtaining external financial support is low. In addition, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology specializes in light industry such as leather and paper making, but large light industry enterprises such as leather and paper making are mainly distributed in coastal areas of China. Shaanxi University of Science and Technology can't find the corresponding enterprise cooperation in the western region, which produces economic benefits and supports its own development.
There is no doubt that Shaanxi University of Science and Technology is a good university in the eyes of Shaanxi people, and its strength in light industry technology and engineering ranks among the top in the country. Although Shaanxi University of Science and Technology was not selected as "2 1 1 Project", it has formulated a series of reform measures in recent years and is striving to improve its professional strength. I believe that the ranking of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology will definitely change in the next round of subject evaluation.
