The Sino-German cooperation of the School of Mechanical Engineering has a long history. Since 2010, starting from the cooperation with the Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, it has successively launched cooperation with universities such as Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Dresden University of Technology, RWTH Aachen University, Eastwestfalia University of Applied Sciences, Berlin University of Technology, etc. There are already 9 "4+2" and "2+3" double degree programs at RWTH Aachen University, the International Innovation Talent Training Program of the China Scholarship Council, DAAD holiday language and internship programs, covering Sino German undergraduate double degree programs, graduate studies in Germany, joint training of graduate students, public visiting scholars, holiday internships, exchange students, teacher exchange visits, etc. The annual quota is more than 100 people. To expand Sino German cooperation, the college has a dedicated Sino German cooperation working group: Vice Dean Tian Huaiwen, Vice Leader, Deputy Secretary Sha Xiaoxue, and Associate Professor Tang Yang. Office locations: 2208 Xipu Campus/2204 Jiuli Campus. For more than 15 years, the Sino German cooperation in the college has made corresponding achievements in exchange visits, platform construction, scientific research cooperation, student training, and work organization.

1. Regarding communication and visits

Our institute has organized and participated in multiple Sino German forums, Sino German Professor Forum, etc., and conducted various exchanges on Sino German engineering education, science and education integration, etc; We also sent multiple batches of teachers to participate in German summer camps or visit schools from March to December to deepen their understanding of German engineering education; More than 20 people, including President Karger, Professor Liu Henke, Director Stefan, and Dean Budde, from the University of Applied Sciences Ostfalia, Dresden University of Technology, and Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, visited our university to give lectures, exchange ideas, and promote in-depth cooperation. In 2014, Principal Pu Yun had in-depth exchanges with HS Ostfalia on Sino German cooperation in education. In 2013, Vice Principal Zhang Xiufeng led a team to visit HS Ostfalia and signed relevant agreements.

2. Student development

The college organized thousands of students to learn German, registered hundreds of students to participate in Sino German cooperation projects, and selected more than 10 batches of hundreds of students to pursue master's degrees in Germany. Some students continued to pursue doctoral degrees in Germany after graduation, such as Braunschweig University of Technology and Clausthal University of Technology. Both parties have jointly established the dSpace semi physical simulation laboratory to conduct relevant semi physical simulation training for undergraduate and graduate students. And introduced the German curriculum "Fundamentals of Control Engineering" to deeply study the teaching paradigm of German science education integration. We have established an international chemical engineering training base that integrates science and education - the Jiaoda Leshan High tech Zone Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base, and the Vehicle Digital Laboratory. Through the alliance of teachers and students, we solve specific problems for enterprises as a carrier, and combine industry, academia, research, and government to cultivate hundreds of international talents with international competitiveness. At the same time, joint training programs for talents at various levels, including undergraduate and graduate programs, have been carried out in Chengdu Sino German Industrial New City, Chengdu Vocational and Technical College of Industry and Trade, Geely College, Chengdu Foreign Language Institute, Southwest Jiaotong University, etc., to meet the needs of enterprises!

3. Platform construction

The Leshan Sino German Science and Technology Promotion Center, a key platform jointly built by Sichuan Province and Southwest Jiaotong University, has been established. An alumnus of Dresden University of Technology has been introduced as the director, focusing on promoting science and technology education cooperation between China and Germany. The center has taken the lead in promoting various German cooperation between Southwest Jiaotong University and Germany, and has added 8 study abroad, study tour, research cooperation, Sino German cooperative education projects to the School of Mechanical Engineering. As a core force, it has participated in the application and construction of the largest educational reform project in the history of our university, the Sino German Talent Special Zone of the "Jiaotong University Jiuzhou Electronic Information Equipment Industry Education Integration Demonstration Project", which effectively supports the internationalization construction of the college. We have also promoted various school local and school school collaborations, such as the planning and implementation of the Sino German Engineering College of Chengdu Industrial Vocational and Technical College and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base of Leshan High tech Zone.

In 2016, Southwest Jiaotong University, HS Ostfalia, and Leshan High tech Zone signed the Leshan Sino German Science and Technology Promotion Center Agreement.

4. Scientific research cooperation

China and Germany jointly carry out a series of scientific research projects, such as the Sichuan Province International Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Project from 2019 to 2021, and exchange teachers and students to engage in actively guided research; I applied for the 2020 Sino German National Natural Science Foundation research project in the field of autonomous driving for automobiles; We have applied for and been approved for the 2021 China Scholarship Council's "Innovative Talent International Cooperation Training Project" in order to build a Sino German scientific research cooperation platform and corresponding faculty. We are closely contacting RWTH Aachen University, Dresden University of Technology, East Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, etc. to promote the implementation of scientific research cooperation projects.

5. Work organization

In order to better adapt to the new situation of Sino German cooperation, the college has established a Sino German cooperation leadership group led by the Dean and Secretary, a working group led by the Vice Dean of Teaching, and a Sino foreign cooperative education project office led by Zhan Feng, responsible for planning, coordinating, organizing, promoting, and implementing Sino German cooperation in the college, comprehensively promoting Sino German cooperation. The main responsibilities include:

1) Establish the Leshan Sino German Science and Technology Promotion Center, a key unit jointly built by the province and schools, and establish extensive connections with Germany;

2) Hire renowned German professors and experts to participate in Sino German cooperation in the college and actively promote Sino German cooperation in education;

3) Expand the "4+2" master's program between China and Germany, expand cooperation departments domestically and cooperation universities in Germany, extend cooperation levels to undergraduate and graduate students, strengthen international scientific research cooperation and teacher-student exchange visits;

4) Establishing Sino German cooperative education projects or institutions.
