Industry-University Cooperation | Faculty and students from the School of Chemical Engineering of Fuzhou University conduct research and internship training at Quanzhou Zhongtian Cooperative Education Center
To deepen the integration of industry and education, promote in-depth cooperation between universities and enterprises, further broaden students' employment channels, and improve the overall quality of talent cultivation, in late June, Lin Hang, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Chemical Engineering of Fuzhou University, Liu Xi, Assistant Dean, Li Jiaqing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch of Process Equipment and Control Engineering, and teacher Xu Ying led a team of more than 60 undergraduate students to Quanzhou Zhongtian Petrochemical Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to carry out a series of activities such as visiting enterprises to explore job opportunities and negotiating industry-university-research cooperation. The two parties officially established a university student internship and training base, building a solid practical platform for the cultivation of compound chemical equipment talents.
During the exchange session, a special symposium was held between the university and the company. Company Chairman Wang Yongchang detailed the company's technological achievements, development plans, and current talent needs accumulated over many years in the chemical equipment manufacturing field. He stated that the company is currently at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading, and that multi-skilled personnel who are proficient in both equipment principles and production processes are urgently needed as core talent for the company's development. He also engaged in in-depth discussions with the college faculty on industry hot topics such as chemical production process optimization and deep integration of processes and products, hoping to leverage the research advantages of universities to jointly overcome traditional manufacturing technology challenges and promote the localized innovative development of chemical equipment manufacturing.
Lin Hang, Party Secretary of the School of Chemical Engineering at Fuzhou University, expressed his gratitude to Quanzhou Zhongtian for its strong support in university-enterprise cooperation. He noted that the cultivation of interdisciplinary engineering talents cannot be separated from real-world industry scenarios; working in isolation cannot produce high-quality talents suited to industry development. The School possesses solid research capabilities in process equipment design and chemical process optimization, while Quanzhou Zhongtian boasts an advanced and comprehensive production practice platform. This strong alliance will allow students to solidify their professional skills through hands-on practice and leverage the intellectual resources of the university to inject new vitality into the company's technological iteration and innovation upgrades.
Following thorough communication, both parties reached several consensuses on cooperation. In the future, they will engage in in-depth cooperation across multiple dimensions, including optimizing the professional curriculum system, joint mentorship programs, collaborative research projects, and targeted talent delivery, actively exploring new models for collaborative development between industry, academia, and research. After the symposium, the university and the company signed a cooperation agreement for a university student internship and training base and jointly unveiled the plaque, marking a new stage of normalized and in-depth cooperation.
Following the unveiling ceremony, over 60 undergraduate students were divided into groups and entered the company's various production workshops to begin their immersive internship and practical training. Guided by the company's professional technicians, the students and faculty visited the production workshops for core chemical equipment such as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, towers, and reactors. Students majoring in Process Equipment and Control Engineering, carrying theoretical questions from the classroom, observed the assembly process of large heat exchangers. They carefully recorded details of the equipment's sealing structure, studied the design principles of shell-and-tube heat exchangers in their textbooks, and actively consulted with frontline technicians about the impact of welding process parameters on the equipment's pressure resistance. When they learned that the welding rod type is flexibly adjusted according to the corrosiveness of the medium during production, the students remarked that theoretical knowledge can only be truly mastered by combining it with hands-on experience.
In line with current industry trends towards automation, intelligence, and greening of chemical equipment, students engaged in lively discussions with company engineers on cutting-edge issues such as energy-saving retrofitting of digital production lines and the application of intelligent sensors in pressure vessel safety monitoring. A positive interactive atmosphere of theoretical exploration, practical verification, and innovative questioning was fostered on-site . In the pressure vessel production workshop, students learned firsthand about non-destructive testing operating procedures and gained a direct understanding of the complete process of radiographic testing for identifying internal weld defects. In the automated production area, they operated equipment control panels, experiencing firsthand the practical application of closed-loop control technology in process control principles. Many students expressed that abstract textbook concepts such as tower fluid dynamics and reactor thermal stability became vivid and concrete after witnessing the actual equipment and production processes, clarifying the key areas for their future professional studies and skill enhancement.
This collaborative initiative between the School of Chemical Engineering at Fuzhou University and Quanzhou Zhongtian, involving visits to enterprises to expand job opportunities and joint internship programs, has achieved a win-win situation for all parties. For universities, leveraging real-world production scenarios and job requirements allows for the optimization and upgrading of professional courses, making talent cultivation models more aligned with industry development realities. For enterprises, the high-quality research resources and talent pool of universities will provide strong support for technological innovation and industrial upgrading. For students, this practical experience has broken down the barriers between the classroom and the workshop, effectively developing their ability to combine theory with practice and solve real-world production problems, further strengthening their professional identity, and clearly outlining their personal career development paths.
In the future, Quanzhou Zhongtian will use the university student internship and training base as a link to continuously deepen the integration of industry and education with the School of Chemical Engineering of Fuzhou University. Both parties will work together to cultivate a group of high-quality professionals who understand theory, are capable of practice, and are good at innovation , jointly contributing to the high-quality development of the regional petrochemical industry.
