How did Jiaolong dive into the deep sea without touching the reef at the dark bottom of the sea? How can a car autonomously avoid obstacles? Wuhan University is newly opened this year"Spatio-temporal Information Engineering"Professionalism can solve doubts.

　　Li Xingxing, Deputy Dean of the School of Geodesy and Surveying, Wuhan University:"Spatio-temporal information engineering" is a deep coupling of aerospace science and technology, electronic information, surveying, mapping and remote sensing, satellite technology, artificial intelligence, and robotics, and is an emerging interdisciplinary discipline. The application fields are very wide, such as Mars exploration, lunar exploration, deep-sea resource exploration, large-scale disaster relief, and related to the lives of our people, such as intelligent driving and intelligent networked vehicles, all of which require strong real-time spatio-temporal intelligence services.

With the acceleration of global digital development, spatio-temporal information, positioning and navigation services are becoming important new infrastructure, and multi-type and cross-level spatio-temporal application scenarios and services are emerging, which is expected to give rise to multiple trillion-level industries.

　　Li Xingxing, Deputy Dean of the School of Geodesy and Surveying, Wuhan University:The employment prospects are very broad, such as China Aerospace, China Electronics Technology, China Star Network, Huawei, Xiaomi, DJI, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) are in urgent need of this kind of talent related to space-time information.

Using artificial intelligence technology, the time required for the design and screening of a new drug molecule can be shortened from the past 20~0 years to more than 0 days, Dalian University of Technology is newly opened this year"Department of Intelligent Molecular Engineering"That's what I'm doing.

　　Zhang Wenzhen, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Chemical Engineering of Dalian University of Technology:In the past, it took a long time to design a molecule, which may be purely empirical. But now with the empowerment of AI tools, it will be very efficient and more accurate.

According to reports, it is expected that after 2025 years, the output value of China's high-tech fields supported by fine synthetic products will exceed trillions, and the opening of this major is to better meet the needs of high-end talents in high-end manufacturing, medical health and other related fields.

　　Zhang Wenzhen, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Chemical Engineering of Dalian University of Technology:This new major will strengthen the foundation of mathematics and physics, computer science, intelligent manufacturing, and chemistry and chemical engineering. Having a special mentor from the beginning of the freshman year, carrying out scientific research training in the laboratory of the top scientist team, and taking the undergraduate, master's and doctoral training may be more suitable for the demand for top-notch innovative talents in the field of new material creation in the intelligent era.

　　For the "old and the young"

　　The new major is urgently needed for people's livelihood

This year, when the Ministry of Education added new undergraduate majors, it took into account the urgent needs of people's livelihood and added them to three colleges and universities, including Nanchang University"Geriatrics and Health"majors, which were added in two colleges and universities such as Shaanxi Preschool Teachers College"Infant Development and Health Management"Professional, guarding the "beautiful day and night".

This year, on the basis of the original disciplines, Nanchang University will integrate clinical medicine, geriatrics, rehabilitation, nutrition and other resources, and add a new major of "geriatrics and health", which will enroll students for the first time in this year's college entrance examination, and is expected to enroll about 30 people.

　　Li Fei, member of the Party Committee of the First Clinical Medical College of Nanchang University:In line with the needs of our country's aging and health, we understand both clinical medicine and management, and this kind of talent is still relatively scarce.

　　Fan Jieping, Director of Academic Affairs Office of Nanchang University:We have the Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Geriatrics, the Institute of Human Aging, the School of Medicine, the School of Public Administration, and the School of Nursing.

In addition to Nanchang University, Ningxia Medical University and Kunming Medical University will also add "geriatrics and health majors"; The new major focusing on the field of 3-0 year old infant and toddler care - "infant development and health management" will be opened in Shaanxi Preschool Normal University and Shandong Women's University.

　　Li Mingjun, Vice President of Shaanxi Preschool Teachers College:It is an emerging multidisciplinary interdisciplinary major, involving medicine, education, management, psychology, etc., with professional knowledge in infant physiology and psychology, nutritional feeding, sports health, responsive care, etc., as well as professional abilities such as infant environment creation, game design, infant observation and evaluation, disease prevention and treatment, family education guidance, etc., of which the proportion of practical teaching accounts for more than 30%.

　　New opportunities in the new profession of "Art +".

In recent years, with the advantages of creativity and aesthetics, the art major is integrating and developing with medicine, science and technology and other fields, opening up a variety of new opportunities, and in this round of professional adjustment, there are such new majors of "art +".

"Dance therapy" is already a new type of psychotherapy discipline, and in the psychological rehabilitation departments of many hospitals, there are already related treatment programs, and the demand for this talent is also growing. Last year, Beijing Normal University officially opened the enrollment of master's degree in dance therapy. This year, Nanjing Normal University of Special Education opened the country's first new undergraduate major in dance therapy.

　　Zhang Qiang, Dean of the School of Music and Dance, Nanjing Normal University of Special Education:Through scientific body guidance, we help people use body language to express unspeakable emotions. For example, we usually use improvisational dance to help people with social anxiety open their bodies, use breathing rhythms to help special patients with depression and autism to release depression, and even we can improve the parent-child relationship through some mirror exercises.

It is understood that traditional psychology focuses on language intervention, but for many patients, multiple perspectives are needed to influence the body and mind. This new major integrates the art of dance with psychology and medicine, and the employment prospects are very diverse.

　　Zhang Qiang, Dean of the School of Music and Dance, Nanjing Normal University of Special Education:This field is currently creating more and more new career opportunities, such as participating in the rehabilitation of physical and mental illnesses in general hospitals, designing dance classes for emotional management in ordinary schools, helping children with autism to improve their social skills in special education schools, and delaying cognitive deterioration in community rehabilitation institutions.

Nowadays, whether it is the digital control of lighting and sound multimedia, or the intelligent management of sets, costumes, makeup, props, or the immersive performance of virtual characters and real people, digital technologies such as the metaverse, 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things have penetrated into the whole industry and process of the performing arts industry.

In response to the upgrading of the cultural tourism industry and the new needs of the digital era, the Shanghai Theater Academy has added a new one this year"Digital Performing Arts Design"The new undergraduate major integrates cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality into drama art education, and cultivates "art + technology" compound talents.

　　Huang Changyong, President of Shanghai Theatre Academy:Starting from our school's strong stage art design, it involves our film school, art technology and management school, which is a completely cross-cutting training model. It is not only the curriculum of our traditional stage art department, but also emphasizes the professional digital technology, and pays attention to the literacy and requirements of engineering computing and artificial intelligence. The new major will lay a very good foundation, and the interpretation of various new types, even the interpretation that has not yet been seen in the future, is the direction of our efforts.
