I. Introduction to the Internet of Things Engineering Major

Established in 2013, the Internet of Things (IoT) Engineering major adheres to our university's motto of "Bright Virtue, Far-reaching Transportation" and promotes the educational tradition of "Willing to be a Stepping Stone, Never Stop Progressing." The major is based in the western region and faces the whole country, aiming to run a first-class discipline and cultivate top-tier talents. It aims to cultivate innovative talents who meet the needs of the new engineering disciplines, are well-rounded in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics, and have a comprehensive grasp of theories and technologies related to sensors, embedded systems, network communication, and intelligent terminals, as well as an international perspective and competitiveness. Over the past decade, the IoT Engineering major has trained 400 undergraduate students for the nation.

The faculty currently consists of 7 members, including 1 professor and 2 associate professors. There are 2 teaching teams: the "Sensors and Embedded Teaching Team" and the "IoT Curriculum Group Teaching Team."

II. Work Plan: 2024 Work Plan

(1) Centered around the 2022 training plan, promote the project-based teaching reform of core courses through the construction of the "Smart Vegetable Garden" practical training base.

(2) Guide teachers to increase their investment in national competitions for students, guide students from the class of 2022 to practice through competition, and improve the proportion of national competition awards.

1. Teaching Construction:

Adhering to the educational philosophy of "Bright Virtue and Solid Practice, Seeking Truth and Innovation," the major insists on "morality cultivation and people-oriented education," and fully promotes the comprehensive reform of "three-dimensional education for all students." Under the background of new engineering construction, the major focuses on students constructing a multi-level ability training system driven by the ability chain and innovation chain in a "double helix" model and emphasizes the cultivation of students' engineering capabilities and qualities. Making full use of enterprise resources, the major deepens the integration of mainstream enterprise technologies with courses and other "5 combinations" methods to improve course resource construction and build a professional ability training platform. A curriculum system has been established with "multi-source data perception and edge computing in complex engineering environments as the core, and smart transportation applications as the characteristic." Adhering to the OBE (Outcomes-Based Education) approach, the major promotes the reform of classroom teaching models and has established the evaluation and continuous improvement mechanisms required for engineering certification, achieving "topic-based teaching, project-based practice, and diversified evaluation." The major has been awarded a first-class professional construction site in Chongqing.

1. Adhere to "morality cultivation and people-oriented education," fully promote the comprehensive reform of "three-dimensional education for all students," strengthen the construction of course ideology and politics, and effectively implement it in professional course teaching.

2. Continue to introduce high-level talents and young doctors, co-build virtual teaching and research offices with schools and enterprises, and create a teaching staff team with dual abilities in both teaching and practical skills. Strengthen the cultivation of teachers' teaching skills and engineering capabilities to continuously meet the requirements of engineering education.

3. Continuously optimize and improve the multi-level ability training system driven by the ability chain and innovation chain in a "double helix" model, deepen the integration of multiple disciplines such as "information + transportation" and "trustworthy and innovative + industry applications," and emphasize the cultivation of engineering capabilities and qualities.

4. Make full use of enterprise resources, deepen the integration of mainstream enterprise technologies with courses and other "5 combinations," and promote the integration of scientific research achievements into courses and other science and education integration, deeply practicing industry-education/science-education/multi-disciplinary intersection integration education models. Implement the transformation of core courses with trustworthy and innovative features, and construct a teaching and practical training system with "multi-source data perception and edge computing in complex engineering environments as the core, and smart transportation applications as the characteristic."

5. Continue to promote engineering education certification, focus on students, adhere to the results-oriented approach, strengthen the evaluation mechanism of graduation requirements and course goal achievement, and promote continuous improvement in the quality of professional talent training.
