Department heads provided guidance on graduation project topic selection based on their professional directions, emphasizing that topics should be combined with professional characteristics, integrate cutting-edge research in the discipline, focus on industry dynamics, and transform enterprise practices and research projects into research topics to enhance the application value of the chosen topics. Teaching Secretary Lü Zhezhe explained the two-way selection process, including the rules and mechanisms for student-supervisor mutual selection, the specific steps and precautions for system operation, etc. Finally, Zang Wenjia reminded teachers of matters related to communication between teachers and students.
