Bachelor Degree Education
The University focuses on teaching consistently, aiming to cultivate high-quality, high-level, and specialized talents, particularly those who are capable of meeting the needs of regions, relevant industries, and the public at the grassroots level and who are innovative in applied fields.It continues its reforms of education and teaching as well as the training modes of innovative talents while setting up and carrying out the three-in-one talents training scheme of “quality, knowledge, and capability”, thus highlighting SDUT’s talent tr aining features.
The University recruits and trains students in 10 disciplines, including mechanics, telecommunication, bio-chemical materials, civil engineering, geology and mining, mathematics and physics, economics and management, literature and law, arts and physical education, and foreign languages. The three-level teaching platform has been set up for four academic years: the platform of liberal arts courses in the first academic year for all disciplines, the platform of discipline-oriented fundamental courses in the second year, and the platform of major-oriented courses in the third and fourth years.
The University has a credit system as follows: The University carries out the flexible educational system lasting from 3 to 6 years;the elective system in which students can select courses of other disciplines or academic years;major-minor, duel majors and duel degrees system in which capable students can select a minor or be granted duel majors certificate with a second major, or a second degree;the tutorial system in which a tutor is arranged to give advice on study, selecting courses, and even the all-round development of students;the open laboratory system in which students reserve laboratories for experiments based on their own time and study progress. The credit system makes autonomous learning possible, arousing students’ enthusiasm in study, giving space for the development of students’ individuality and innovation.
The University launches the experimental classes to cultivate innovative talents. This class mode is introduced from famous universities at home and abroad, featuring brand new training scheme in which students receive the liberal arts education in first three academic years and select their own majors at the end of the third academic year within their disciplines.
The University is one among the first batch of 61 national pilot universities, also the only provincial university in Shandong, for the “Outstanding Engineers Education Program" set by the Ministry of Education. So far, SD UT’s 4 undergraduate courses (mechanical design, manufacturing & automation, computer science & engineering,
