At present, the development of smart manufacturing, planning, standards, demonstration projects, etc. have been gradually implemented and promoted, and funds, resources, and other factors have also been gathered in key areas of smart manufacturing. However, the country still lacks the talents training and growth plan for smart manufacturing, and lacks the top-level design of the “intellectual modeling†talent plan. It places a heavy emphasis on the most important human resources and intellectual factors supporting smart manufacturing, and lacks the development of soft power. Shortage, to a certain extent, restricts the long-term development of the future of national smart manufacturing. First of all, smart manufacturing has created a lot of demand for “intellectual modeling†talents, and the market outlook is very promising. With the development of new technologies and industries such as German Industry 4.0, American Industrial Internet, and artificial intelligence, the return of manufacturing, the rise of intelligent manufacturing, and the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, world industrial manufacturing has opened a new chapter in history. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, quantum communication, knowledge evolution, and machine learning have caused profound changes in the traditional industrial manufacturing model. "Made in China 2025" plans a "three-step" strategy and establishes ten key areas and development goals for the next 10 to 30 years. Talented person "intellectual modeling" talent will become the focus of rapid growth, including scientists and engineers. , technical elites, highly skilled workers, etc. According to the “National Science and Engineering Indicators 2016†report of the National Science Council, China’s number of engineering graduates in 2012 ranks first in the world, accounting for 38.1%. In fact, the total number of engineering graduates in China has reached 1.19 million in 2016. The number of undergraduate majors related to the top ten key areas of “Made in China 2025†is about 8,000, accounting for 50% of the total number of engineering majors, and it has a solid “smart shapeâ€. Talent development foundation. Second, the structural contradictions in the supply of talents continue to be prominent, and the problems of training and growth urgently need to be resolved. “Intelligent Modeling†talent is a new type of talent that meets the needs of smart manufacturing, and it is a cross-combination talent that adapts to the deep integration of information technology and manufacturing technology. The training of "intellectual modeling" talents' knowledge, qualities, and capabilities is different from the traditional manufacturing talent model. China’s traditional industrial manpower training started with the former Soviet Union model and trained a large number of industry professionals. Later, it borrowed American experience in general education and focused on improving the overall quality of talents. Since the 21st century, the disciplines have intersected, thick foundations, and wide caliber complex types. The cultivation of innovative talents has become a hot spot. Expert education and general education are mutually integrated and complementary. Under the challenge of the current rise of intelligent manufacturing, the traditional manufacturing talent cultivation model can no longer meet the needs of the development of the new industrial revolution. With the rapid updating of knowledge, the rapid emergence of information, the subversive development of manufacturing, and the highly evolved intelligence, the requirements for “intellectual modeling†talents have gone far beyond the boundaries and connotations of traditional scientists, engineers, and senior technicians. The actual situation of lack of spirit, inadequate engineering education and advancing with the times, and the low actual employment rate of professional graduates in engineering graduates just confirm the existence of structural contradictions in the supply of talents that meet the challenges of smart manufacturing, and it is necessary to make efforts to solve them. In addition, engineering education adapts to the lag of transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and education reform needs urgent progress. The development of engineering education in China is closely linked with the historical process of industrialization. The tremendous progress made in today's industrial manufacturing industry, such as machinery, shipbuilding, aviation, aerospace, hydropower, high-speed rail, automobiles, and home appliances, is supported by the workforce. The scale and quality of education continue to increase. Today, engineering education is facing new development situations. There are still some deficiencies, such as focusing on theory and practice, focusing on thesis and light engineering, and the integration and homogenization of university education leads to a disconnect between higher education and engineering practice. Cooperation has been alienated. In recent years, the country has actively promoted the transformation and upgrading of engineering education by implementing new initiatives such as excellence programs, production and education, CDIO, professional certification, and new engineering concepts. In response to the smart manufacturing challenge, German Industry 4.0 has launched “Talent Training and Cases†in 2017 to propose concepts and initiatives such as new capability development and factory learning, and strive to resolve talent issues. To this end, in response to the challenges of the new industrial revolution, China urgently needs to formulate a "smart styling" talent support development plan to promote the transformation and upgrading of personnel training, especially engineering education. For example, formulate the “13th Five-Year Plan†and the Mid- and Long-Term Talent Development Plan that matches “Made in China 2025â€, support major talent development projects in key areas of smart manufacturing, vocational training programs for high-quality skilled personnel, etc., in combination with higher education field projects. Breakthroughs in education reforms, implementation of major measures for the close integration of talents by schools and enterprises, granting policy support such as funds, projects, and tax incentives, vigorously advancing the implementation of the “intellectual modeling†talent support program, and occupying the development of the times in the history of the new industrial revolution. Take the initiative and do a good job of human resources reserve.
