On the afternoon of April 8, School of Urban Railway Transportation at Shanghai University of Engineering Science held an exchange seminar with the Shanghai Rail Transit Training Center Conference Room 8A521 of the Modern Transportation Engineering Center. The meeting was chaired by Liu Zhigang, Dean of School of Urban Railway Transportation.
On behalf of the College Party Committee, Wan Huilin, Party Secretary of School of Urban Railway Transportation, expressed gratitude for the long-term support provided by the Training Center to the college. She emphasized that Party-building collaboration serves as a key driver for promoting university-enterprise cooperation. The college should further strengthen the integration of ideological and political education into the entire teaching process and jointly build an ideological and political education system with enterprises. Both sides should deepen their cooperation, promote operational integration, and cultivate more high-quality application-oriented talents for the rail transit industry.
