Education awareness and education mode of packaging engineering (2)

2, packaging engineering education has a very distinctive feature
Packaging engineering education is an area of ​​modern engineering education. Compared with other engineering majors, the packaging engineering profession has distinctive characteristics.
Packaging aims to protect products, facilitate circulation, promote sales, increase product added value, save energy, and protect the environment. Therefore, the packaging project takes the product packaging and its transfer process as the research object, and integrates science, engineering, art, environment, economics, trade, management, law, psychology, society, culture, and other disciplines in the context of time series, space, and environment. Knowledge, optimize products - people - the friendly relationship between the environment. Strive to highlight three characteristics: the combination of arts and crafts, work-oriented features, focusing on the combination of practice, theory and practice, the characteristics of serving the society, adapting to economic needs.
The combination of arts and crafts and work-based education is a major feature of packaging engineering education. Has a basic knowledge of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, as well as a certain degree of aesthetic appeal and artistic appreciation. He has a preliminary design and design concept. He can perform professional art design through computers and communicate with art and design languages. The basic requirements for the training of packaging engineering professionals. In terms of curriculum, the humanities, social sciences and arts courses occupy a certain proportion, students' cultural quality has been greatly improved, and the way of thinking is more flexible, forming a comprehensive judgment and design capability. For the packaging engineering profession, education in the humanities, social sciences, and arts is no longer isolated, and has been integrated and infiltrated into packaging engineering education.
Packaging engineering is a highly practical profession. Focusing on practice and practicing teaching throughout the entire teaching process, cultivating students' socialist market economy, the awareness of integrating the world market, and the ability to adapt to the development of socialist modernization are one of the characteristics of packaging engineering education. From basic courses, professional and technical basic courses, professional courses, experimental courses to curriculum design, comprehensive experiments and graduation design, from metalworking practice, cognitive practice, production internship to graduation practice and social practice, from classroom teaching, cooperation between production, teaching and research, to comprehensive education in packaging engineering. Lifelong education and the rich content of packaging engineering practice education provide conditions for the improvement of students' practical ability and professional quality.
The packaging project is a variety of technical activities and service activities to meet the main functions of packaging. The technical activities mainly include: preparation of packaging materials; research of packaging technology; design and selection of packaging machinery; design of product packaging, modeling and mounting; design of packaging systems; management of packaging enterprises. Service (non-technical) activities are not only reflected in the product itself and its packaging, distribution, and recycling processes, but also in politics, economy, culture, and society. The packaging industry and other industries complement each other. The packaging industry serves both industries. The development of each industry in turn promotes the development of the packaging industry. In short, packaging is a service that makes it very important for students to understand and understand the meaning of services.
Packaging engineering is a comprehensive discipline. Synthesis and analysis, like the analysis, is the main method of human cognition in the world, that is, to put various understandings of things in a macroscopic or systemic context to examine their mutual influence and constraints, compare and weigh them, and pay attention to the purpose and effect. To get a judgment and understanding. Integration is a capability that is essential for engineers and packaging engineering students. Engineering problems are different from simple scientific research issues. The factors that affect them are not simply technologies but must also consider economic and social factors. To be good at comparison and decision-making, this comprehensive thinking method is an essential quality for engineers, and it is also a link for training in packaging engineering education.
Integration is a requirement of the course system of packaging engineering. The packaging project itself belongs to the emerging discipline of blending disciplines. Only according to the connotation of the packaging project, taking the professional orientation as the guide, and strengthening the engineering foundation as the goal, it is necessary to consider the combination of arts and crafts, rationally allocate the knowledge of the natural sciences, and integrate the professional knowledge, comprehensive parallelism. Knowledge of engineering knowledge and social sciences can lead to a comprehensive curriculum that can form a unique and independent theoretical system for packaging projects. The intersection and integration of disciplines has strengthened the foundation of natural sciences, humanities arts, and computer applications for packaging engineering and has broadened professional knowledge.
The connotation of packaging engineering education determines that it has the combination of theory and practice, technology and service, analysis and synthesis of modern engineering education, and the salient features of science and humanities, learning and creation, and engineering and art. This feature makes packaging engineering education provide good conditions for improving students' abilities and qualities. It not only can overcome the problems existing in higher education in China, but also better meet the development direction of modern engineering education.
3, the challenges faced by packaging engineering education
Packaging engineering is a highly integrated and intersecting discipline. The research object has strong process and system characteristics and constitutes a relatively complete discipline system. However, some aspects of the discipline system still lack independence and need to be taken as a university subject. The idea of ​​a large-scale project is integrated and improved so that the packaging project is rooted, branched, and leafy, forming an independent and perfect discipline system.
China's packaging engineering education still lacks a complete level of education. As a complete education system, it should be divided into different levels from the basics to the top. This is related to the continuous deepening and development of the theory and the training programs and standards for talents at different levels. At present, since China's packaging education began its professional training in 1984, most colleges and universities are undergraduate education, there is a small amount of postgraduate education, and there is no doctoral education. The cultivation of graduate students through sponsoring methods is subject to certain restrictions on the number of students enrolled, the examination of entrance education, the setting of degree courses, and the direction of topics. Students continue to be affected by further studies, and a considerable number of students apply for other professional graduate students.
The education system, content and the actual application of the enterprise do not match. In the past few years, most of the graduates have been assigned to their jobs, and are rarely set up in real packaging companies. Few companies have come from the point of view of packaging design and packaging technology, giving people the impression that the industry is insubstantial and students have no use. The direction of student employment is not clear. (To be continued)
