What about the building environment and equipment engineering of Youshi University in China? Is employment good? Development potential?

Architectural Environment & Equipment Engineering

First of all, professional introduction

In recent years, China's national economy has developed rapidly and the pace of urban construction has accelerated. In order to improve the ecological environment and realize the sustainable development of the national economy, the demand for natural gas will be increasing. With the implementation of the "West-to-East Gas Transmission Project", natural gas will become the main gas source of city gas; At the same time, with the improvement of people's quality of life, central heating and air conditioning and refrigeration will become an inevitable trend. In order to meet this requirement, the country urgently needs to train a large number of senior professionals majoring in building environment and equipment engineering. However, at present, there are not many colleges and universities offering the specialty of building environment and equipment engineering (including the direction of city gas) in China, and the annual graduates are far from meeting the needs of social development. Therefore, after full investigation and demonstration, and reported to the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education for approval, our school added the specialty of Building Environment and Equipment Engineering in 2002.

The specialty of building environment and equipment engineering is not a simple merger and reorganization of previous majors, but a new discipline based on the building environment, which embodies the development direction of the discipline. The equipment in "Building Environment and Equipment Engineering" does not refer to construction machinery or construction machinery, but refers to all kinds of equipment needed to ensure indoor environment, including HVAC equipment, building electrical equipment, building water supply and drainage and gas supply equipment. Therefore, the adjusted new major is broader than the previous major, which requires students to master more extensive knowledge.

The specialty of building environment and equipment engineering will be located in the Department of Storage and Transportation Engineering of the School of Storage and Transportation and Architecture. Oil and gas storage and transportation engineering specialty was founded in 1953, which is the first batch of petroleum specialty established in our school, authorized for doctoral and master's degrees, and one of the national "2 1 1" key construction disciplines. The major of thermal energy and power engineering has accumulated more than ten years of experience in running a school. At present, the graduates of both majors are in short supply. The specialty of building environment and equipment engineering is closely related to the specialty of oil and gas storage and transportation engineering and thermal power engineering in our school. After full demonstration, the specialty of building environment and equipment engineering is fully capable of being established by using existing teachers and experimental equipment.

The gas outside the city and inside the city, commonly known as natural gas, is the direction of many gas industry predecessors. Professor Mi Kangqi, a member of the professional steering committee of building environment and equipment, and many other gas industry predecessors have long put forward the view that gas should be included in storage and transportation. Although these are two industries, the students' basic courses are the same, which are beneficial to the majors of storage and transportation and gas. At present, the gas specialty of building environment and equipment engineering is mainly due to the fact that the colleges and universities where the gas specialty used to be located were all subordinate to the Ministry of Construction. The specialty of building environment and equipment engineering is characterized by "atmosphere", giving full play to the advantages of key disciplines of oil and gas storage and transportation engineering, and building the specialty of building environment and equipment engineering with distinctive petroleum characteristics.

Second, the professional construction planning

1. Professional construction goal

There are very few people who have doctoral degrees in gas engineering in the specialty of building environment and equipment engineering, and they can't recruit high-level talents. In addition to the original teaching staff of storage and transportation and thermal engineering, we also send young teachers to the old schools of building environment and equipment engineering (such as Harbin Institute of Technology) for postgraduate study or professional training. Further improve the syllabus and improve the pertinence of teaching content; Strengthen laboratory construction and strive to build the following laboratories: natural gas hydrate laboratory, gas combustion laboratory, gas transmission and distribution laboratory, etc. It is necessary to highlight the disciplinary advantages of petroleum university, establish a distinctive teaching material system and improve the quality of students' training.

2. Professional Building Initiative

Although the new major is based on the original major of storage and transportation, thermal energy and power engineering, due to cross-industry reasons, many teachers don't know the background and affiliation of the new major deeply enough, and simple teaching often leads to deviation from the employment theme. To this end, the college often sends relevant teachers to relevant institutions for investigation, participates in relevant professional construction meetings, and conducts new professional knowledge training for teachers. A few course teachers take measures such as further study, entrustment and introduction to solve the problem.

At present, some teachers have gone into a misunderstanding that the new professional courses can only copy the corresponding courses of the original storage and transportation specialty and thermal energy and power engineering specialty. In view of this phenomenon, in order to organize teaching effectively, colleges and departments first redefine the teaching content of each course of newly-built majors, re-examine the teaching objectives of each course, and revise and improve the teaching syllabus of specialized courses. The completion of this work, on the one hand, improves everyone's comprehensive understanding of the newly-opened professional course of Building Environment and Equipment Engineering, on the other hand, it is of great significance for the efficient and orderly implementation of teaching.

On the basis of existing laboratories (multiphase flow laboratory, corrosion and anti-corrosion laboratory, gas diffusion laboratory, convection heat transfer laboratory, combustion laboratory, simulation calculation laboratory, covering an area of 1.200 square meters, with total equipment assets of more than 4 million yuan), experimental devices available for the specialty of building environment and equipment engineering are added, which provides a strong guarantee for enhancing students' practical ability.

The textbooks for new majors are basically recommended by the Steering Committee of Building Environment and Equipment Engineering in colleges and universities. Considering the development and present situation of domestic gas industry, the national seminar on the development of gas direction for building environment and equipment engineering specialty in colleges and universities was held in Harbin Institute of Technology from April 15 to April 16, 2006. One of the topics of the meeting is the construction of professional teaching materials under the new situation. After in-depth discussion by experts, the textbooks that need to be revised, integrated and rewritten are determined, and the task of textbook construction is assigned according to experts' expertise.

Third, teaching conditions and teaching conditions

1. Construction of teaching facilities

At present, the laboratories used by the specialties of building environment and equipment engineering, storage and transportation and thermal engineering include: corrosion laboratory, oil and gas loss laboratory, long-distance pipeline laboratory, multiphase flow laboratory, refrigeration and heating laboratory and heat transfer laboratory. The laboratory of building environment and equipment engineering is built on the basis of full consideration of equipment use, storage and transportation laboratory and thermal laboratory. At the end of 2004, he applied for the project of "Building Environment and Equipment Engineering Laboratory Construction" of the Ministry of Education and was approved. At present, the newly-built experimental device of gas pipeline network has completed the teaching experiment of one session of students; The new professional combustion and transmission and distribution laboratory under construction is expected to be put into use at the end of September, when the following teaching experiments can be completed: (1) experiment on water conservancy conditions of gas pipeline network; Performance measurement experiment of household liquefied gas regulator: gas meter calibration experiment; Measurement of normal flame propagation velocity of gas: thermal performance experiment of gas water heater: stability experiment of small atmospheric burner: demonstration of visible flame propagation velocity; Thermal performance experiment of domestic gas stove: determination of gas calorific value: experiment of measuring gas relative density.

On June 5438+ 10, 2005, China Shiyou University (East China) signed an agreement with Qingdao Taineng Gas Group to establish the "Practice Teaching Base of China Shiyou University (East China)", which can provide convenient conditions for undergraduates' production practice and cognitive practice, and can accept about 30-60 undergraduates' internship tasks at a time. The technical staff of the unit serves as the practice teaching instructor of China Shiyou University (East China). Students can practice in the following production positions: Dayao jar station; Jinjialing LNG storage and distribution station; Coal-to-gas workshop of coking plant; Liquefier bottle filling station; Chengyang natural gas gate station; Pingdu liquefied gas storage and distribution station. At present, we have reached a preliminary intention with Qingdao Xinao Gas Co., Ltd. to establish "China Youshi University (East China) Practice Teaching Base". At that time, two more practice points can be added: Huangdao Tuanjie Road Gate Station and Jiaonan Offtake Station.

The basic courses of building environment and equipment engineering are quite similar to those of storage and transportation. Storage and transportation is an old major in our school, and there are various related books and materials. For the reference books of building environment and equipment engineering, in addition to the strong support of the school, the collection of books in the library has been increased, and the Department of Storage and Transportation Engineering has also broadcast special funds to purchase a certain number of related books and manuals, which is beneficial for students to consult.

2. Construction of teaching content and curriculum system

The setting and content of new majors, whether basic courses or specialized courses, should be more suitable for China's economic development and technological progress, and pay more attention to quality education. Cultivate high-level technical talents with strong foundation, wide caliber and innovative consciousness to meet the needs of China's socialist market economy and modernization in the 2 1 century. The traditional undergraduate course system structure is generally basic courses, specialized basic courses and specialized courses, and there is a clear boundary between specialized basic courses and specialized courses. After the adjustment, in order to strengthen the foundation and broaden the specialty, it is necessary to dilute the boundary between professional basic courses and professional courses and build a rich professional basic platform (building environment, fluid transmission and distribution network, heat and mass exchange principles and equipment), on which students can expand in many directions. A large number of facts have proved that the cultivation of high-level talents should not only have professional knowledge, but also have the important influence of humanistic knowledge. Humanistic quality education should run through the whole teaching plan and process, making it serialized and scientific.

The setting of this major emphasizes the discipline, expansion and renewal of professional content. It is necessary to change professional education into general education, so that the new major can better adapt to China's economic development and technological progress in the setting and content of professional basic courses and professional courses. Therefore, strengthening the subject foundation, broadening the scope of specialty and improving the quality of students in an all-round way are the main aspects of making professional teaching plans.

Compared with the major of Building Environment and Equipment Engineering in other universities, the required course of this major has added "Design and Management of Gas Pipeline", which enables students to understand not only the planning and design of gas pipeline network in the city, but also the design and management of long-distance natural gas pipeline outside the city. Specialized courses include "Introduction to Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation", "Petrology of Storage and Transportation" and "Optimization of Storage and Transportation Engineering", which not only broadens students' knowledge, but also increases employment channels. This not only realizes the integration of storage and transportation with new specialty, but also saves teachers and reduces the cost of setting new specialty.

3. Current situation and countermeasures of teaching management

Since the construction of the new specialty, the specialty construction and teaching have been completed by the specialty of storage and transportation and thermal engineering. Although there are no magnificent memorabilia, the training of the first class of students has been successfully completed, and the employment rate of professional students is 100%.

Since May, 2006, it has been clearly put forward that "gas engineering and technology" is the leading direction of the specialty, and it has been clearly stated that the specialty construction and teaching work are the responsibility of the Department of Storage and Transportation Engineering. In order to strengthen the discipline construction and management of the specialty of building environment and equipment engineering, and considering the stability of the teaching staff, a deputy director is added in the storage and transportation department to be responsible for the discipline construction and laboratory construction of the specialty of building environment. The teaching arrangement is the responsibility of the deputy director in charge of teaching in the Department of Storage and Transportation Engineering, and concurrently serves as an experimenter in the Department of Storage and Transportation.

Fourth, teaching and scientific research achievements.

Since 2002, he has presided over 48 scientific research projects with a total funding of 5.995 million, including 4 provincial and ministerial projects. The first author published 54 papers, including 2 national journals1,33 statistical source journals and 9 EI journals1.
