When young people thrive, a country prospers, and China's development depends on the commitment of young people。With the improvement of national comprehensive strength and the advancement of modernization process, how to train top-notch innovative talents? Answer "Qian Xuesen's Question"?Hu Haiyan has been thinking and writing the answer sheet of The Times with innovative practice。

"In the global political and economic game, scientific and technological competition, cultural inheritance and innovation, outstanding talents cultivated by world-class universities often play a leading and decisive role.。In Hu Haiyan's view, graduates of high-level university mechanics majors should be future engineering scientists and research engineers。The knowledge structure of mechanics researchers should be both broad and thick, with a solid theoretical foundation and innovative ability to solve practical problems。In 2017, under the vigorous promotion of Hu Haiyan, the "Engineering Science Pilot Class" cultivated in accordance with the "interdisciplinary and undergraduate master and doctoral" was officially opened, aiming at the urgent need of the national space field to train top-notch innovative talents。

"The training target of the pilot class is future engineering scientists。We have organically integrated the courses of aircraft design and engineering mechanics, set up six through courses, and re-wrote the teaching materials, so that students' knowledge structure can be integrated, practical ability can be more comprehensively cultivated and innovative thinking can be trained。Professor Hu Gengkai and Professor Liu Li, members of the team deeply involved in the construction of the pilot class, explained。The pilot class starts with top-level design, optimizes students' knowledge structure and innovation elements, and cultivates students' strategic thinking, knowledge structure and innovation ability in the integration of science and technology by offering high-level basic courses, interdisciplinary courses and entering the laboratory in the junior year。What is more commendable is that both the training program design and curriculum arrangement of the pilot class were designed by Hu Haiyan himself. He also stepped on the platform to teach students the introduction course, so that students could have a dialogue with the master at the beginning of enrollment and have an in-depth understanding of engineering science and its future development。

"If Chinese universities want to enter the world class, they must publish first-class textbooks that affect the world.。Such materials may require the efforts of several generations of teachers。Textbook is the carrier of knowledge, but also the guiding light of students' growth。Over the years, Hu Haiyan has been writing textbooks. He is the author of the Chinese and English version of the graduate textbook "Vibration Mechanics - Research Course", the undergraduate textbook "Fundamentals of Mechanical Vibration" (2nd edition), and is currently writing the introductory textbook "Engineering Problems in Mechanics" for senior undergraduate and graduate students.。He said that as an old teacher, it is his responsibility to lay this "cornerstone", and he also hopes that these textbooks will be continuously improved after teaching practice, laying the foundation for young teachers to write world-class textbooks。

In the course of textbook writing, Hu Haiyan repeatedly discussed and deliberated on every case and illustration, from frame design to content writing。In order to make undergraduates understand a definition, a concept, and a picture, he will think repeatedly, write programs and calculate repeatedly。What is the position of the origin of the coordinates in the figure that will not cause misunderstanding among students? Will the definition of each symbol be repeated before and after, and he must revise it in detail。This spirit of scientific rigor and excellence has become a "living textbook" for every member of the team and a spiritual force that affects the entire team。

Teachers, preach and teach to solve doubts。As a teacher, Hu Haiyan always keeps in mind that teaching is the first, and regards teaching and educating people as a lifelong career pursuit。In the past 35 years, no matter what changes have been made in his position, no matter how heavy the scientific research work is, he has never left the three-foot platform and never stopped teaching。Under his guidance and inspiration, the team adhered to the original mission of "educating people for the Party and talents for the country" and cultivated a large number of outstanding talents in the space field。The team has won 2 national education and teaching achievement awards,1 national first-class undergraduate course,1 national curriculum virtual teaching and research room;Won the first prize of the national College self-made experimental teaching equipment competition;He guided his students to win the ABU Dhabi International Drone Autonomous Control Challenge twice,Won the Grand prize of the World University Cube Star Challenge China Final,And a number of national innovation competition awards such as metamaterial Mechanics competition and mechanical Innovation Design competition。

With country in mind,"Force" build the dream of science and technology power
