On September 24, the opening ceremony of the 2024 series course "Materials Create a Better Future" by the national college Huang Danian Teachers Team was launched。Professor Cheng Xin, head of the national university Huang Danian teacher team, national excellent teacher, and specially invited expert of "Taishan Scholars Climbing Plan", gave a course lecture entitled "Building Materials and Life" for teachers and students of materials science and engineering in the first academic lecture hall of the school。

The opening ceremony was presided over by the vice president of Shanghua. More than 300 teachers and students from the School of Materials Science and Engineering attended the opening ceremony and listened to the lecture。

Professor Cheng Xin has long been engaged in the scientific research and engineering application of advanced cement-based materials，Fruitful results have been achieved in the research and development and application of a new system of green and low-carbon cement-based materials and the comprehensive utilization of bulk solid waste，Won the second prize of national technology invention 2，Provincial-level science and technology first prize 4，He presided over more than 20 national major key projects，He has published five books，More than 90 domestic and foreign invention patents were authorized，Published more than 200 academic papers indexed by SCI。In the lecture，Professor Cheng Xin combined his 46 years of study, work and struggle in Jinan University，From the great development of the country into a new era, the expansion of the school to the conformal development, and the efforts of individuals to study and actively pursue progress, the three dimensions combined with their own scientific research and the development of the building materials industry have brought us a profound and realistic report。In the report, Professor Cheng Xin encouraged the college students to be down-to-earth, brave to innovate, dare to be the first, and strive to promote the progress of the industry, social development and national rejuvenation。The presentation was profound and vivid. The teachers and students at the meeting and Professor Cheng Xin exchanged and interacted on their own research industry experience and life experience, the prospect of materials profession, the development trend of building materials industry, and the study and life planning of college students. The atmosphere was warm and the teachers and students at the meeting benefited a lot。

"Materials Create a Better Future" is a professional elective course offered by the School of Materials Science and Engineering for students majoring in materials science and engineering。The course covers all aspects of materials science and engineering, such as high-performance cementing materials, advanced ceramic materials, intelligent glass materials, and artificial crystal materials，Focus on the future and development direction of material science, new material preparation technology and application, advanced scientific and technological means of material science research and related equipment，Grasp the development trend of the material industry，And then enhance students' ability to innovate and solve complex engineering problems，Cultivate students' scientific attitude of striving for excellence and consciousness of dedication to the country and the benefit of the people。Since the opening of the course in 2023, nearly 10 national and provincial talents in scientific research and industry have started the course for students, and achieved good training results。

In recent years，The School of Materials Science and Engineering adheres to the principle of moral education，Comprehensively strengthen the conformal construction of disciplines and specialties，We will promote the deep integration of industry, education, science and education，Provide students with ways to engage deeply in industry and profession，Effectively combine the training of professional talents with the promotion of industry development，A training mechanism for application-oriented innovative talents of "school-enterprise linkage and personality training" has been established，Strive to contribute more to the new era to train more innovative talents in materials。
