On the morning of December 3, Jiangsu Junhua Special Engineering Plastic Products Co., Ltd. and the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Changzhou University signed a practical teaching base cooperation agreement and held a plaque awarding ceremony.

Off-campus practical teaching base

Off-campus practical teaching bases refer to relatively stable places that are selected by the school based on the characteristics of different majors and disciplines, and have corresponding practical teaching conditions, such as enterprises and scientific research institutions, and are established on the basis of equal consultation between the two parties. They are of a certain scale and can meet the needs of undergraduate internships, training, social practice, innovation and other practical teaching links. Off-campus practical teaching bases are important places for practical teaching, and are an important way to improve students’ professional quality, professional ethics, and professional ability. They are an important link for applied undergraduate colleges to achieve talent training goals, and they play a very important role in cultivating students’ practical ability, innovative spirit, and entrepreneurial spirit.
