引进以理基因，激活广以优势
广东以色列理工学院引进以色列理工学院的专业教学体系和教学标准，继承其追求真理与创新的基因，形成高质量、国际化的人才培养模式，培养国家发展急需的高水平理工科人才。
基础研究是科技创新的根基和源头；培养基础学科人才，对原始创新有着关键作用。广东以色列理工学院常务副校长DavidGershoni教授表示，广以采用的是已经在以色列理工学院发展了上百年的教学方法。以色列理工学院是科学、技术与创新的成功代表。以色列理工学院的王牌专业都是基础学科，包括数学、物理、化学、计算机科学等。“我们非常重视这些学科，这是我们教育的基础。广以的教师都是科研者，他们都对科学发展做出了很大的贡献。老师们在教学过程中也在向学生传授自己作为科研人员和科学家的科研能力，这就是我们学校的独特优势。”
03
夯实学科基础，深化融合创新
“广以吸引了来自麻省理工学院、约翰霍普金斯大学、美国能源部国家实验室的多位科学家入职。在这里开展研究，我们没有感觉到严格的学科限制，化学、物理与生物的老师可以讨论量子力学、人工智能和流体力学与合成生物学。大学最本质的功用是为了传播知识、探索真理与促进社会正义公平。我们希望学科的交叉能够激发学生的求知与探索欲望，我们有信心培养出尊重他人、勇于承担社会责任、具有创新意识的复合型人才！”广东以色列理工学院化学工程系副教授徐鹏认为，脱离了基础学科的创新是无源之水、无本之木。如果基础学科的底子不够扎实牢固的话，就很难去做很大程度的创新。“这要求我们不能急功近利、拔苗助长，要让科技创新意识流淌在每一个人的血液中，才能使我们赢得世界的尊重。”
实验室是孕育灵感和创新的摇篮。广以先进的实验仪器和广阔的实验空间，为师生们提供一流的实验条件，使学校的教学和科研工作如虎添翼。“我们鼓励学生参与实验室的课题研究。他们在科研第一线所遇到的问题，才能让他们跟书本上的知识结合起来，做到真正的学以致用。我们在大一就要培养学生基本的工程思维，教他们把高中所学的化学、物理、生物知识综合起来，运用到实际问题中，解决工程的问题；再通过思考生活中的一些现象，慢慢引入基础的科学定律。”徐鹏教授介绍道。
推动基础学科人才培养这一打基础、利长远的系统性工程，需要久久为功、持之以恒。广东以色列理工学院机械工程系助理教授姜又华认为，基础学科具有普适性，无论在就业或是深造时，它可以应用到很多领域。“广以作为一所纯理工科大学，学校的专业课程设置和人才培养思路都是围绕基础学科人才培养来展开的。我们的教学大致分为课堂教学、习题课和开放提问三个部分。老师们每周都会开放特定的时间，可以让学生随时来问问题。学生在学习过程中会得到我们每位老师的个性化指导，在打牢基础的阶段我们会不遗余力地为他们提供支持和帮助。”
广东以色列理工学院充分发挥基础研究深厚、学科交叉融合的优势，以行动催生创新之花，收获创造之果。2018年，广以被列入广东省高水平大学建设计划；2021年，学校获批广东省基础研究重大项目，新增广东省重点实验室。
广东以色列理工学院化学工程系助理教授王燕主要从事可穿戴电子领域的研究工作。这是一个交叉学科领域，需要在化学、物理、生物、机械等方面具备扎实的科学基础。她认为，基础科学是创新的源泉，它对应用科学和生产市场具有非常重要的意义。“只有注重基础科学的研究，才能永远保持自主创新的能力，这对于一个国家的发展是非常重要的。广以从建校以来一直非常注重基础研究的发展，也一直在做相关的工作，为培养创新型人才做准备。”
Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged efforts to strengthen the cultivation of talents in basic academic disciplines and train a large number of basic research talents urgently needed for China’s innovation-driven development at the 24th Meeting of the Central Commission for Deepening Overall Reform.
Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) is the first Sino-Foreign cooperative university in science and technology in China, focusing on basic research and talent training in basic academic disciplines, and striving to build into a high-level, international researchuniversity in science and technology. The teachers of GTIIT have studied the spirit of the meeting earnestly, expressing that they will shoulder the mission of innovating and overcoming difficulties as scientific researchers, and contribute their wisdom to the cultivation of talents in basic academic disciplines.
01
Grasp the opportunity of the times, keep in mind the original intention
The periodicity of basic research is long. To devote oneself to it, one should have not only courage and determination, but also tenacity and patience. Training basic academic disciplines talents needs long-term planning and continuous efforts.
Prof. Gong Xingao, Chancellor of GTIIT, said that Xi once again emphasized the urgency of talent cultivation in basic academic disciplines for the country’s innovative development at the Meeting, pointing out the direction for the development of China’s higher education.
Colleges and universities are places of talent gathering and the cradle of innovation. As a research-oriented Sino-Foreign cooperative university focusing on science and technology, GTIIT will play a leading role in cultivating talents for basic research. Under the background of prioritizing science and technology and the requirements of the Guangdong High Level University Development Program, GTIIT will base on the ecological system of high-level disciplines and the advantages of basic research, focusing on the discipline construction of the world-level cutting-edge technologies, the main economic fields, the country’s critical needs, and the people’s health, to cultivate pioneering scientists and researchers with innovation power, global vision and humanities, and to promote industrial innovation and social economic development in astern Guangdong, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and even China.
02
Introduce the gene of Technion,
activate the advantage of GTIIT
GTIIT has introduced the teaching system and standards of Technion-Israel institute of Technology (Technion) and inherited its gene of pursuing truth and innovation, to form a high-quality and international talent training mode and cultivate high-level science and engineering talents urgently needed by the national development.
Basic research is the foundation and source of scientific and technological innovation, and training basic subject talents plays a key role in original innovation. Prof. David Gershoni, Vice Chancellor of GTIIT, said that the teaching methods used at GTIIT have been developed at the Technion for hundreds of years. The Technion is a successful example of science, technology and innovation. The flagship majors at the Technion are all basic subjects, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and so on. “We attach great importance to these subjects, which are the foundation of our education. All the teachers at GTIIT are scientific researchers. While making great contributions to the development of science, they also teach students their research abilities as researchers and scientists, which is the unique strength of us.”
03
Consolidate the discipline foundation,
deepen integration and innovation
“GTIIT has attracted scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University, and the U。S。 Department of Energy National Laboratories and Technology Centers。 There is no strict boundary between subjects here, and teachers in chemistry, physics and biology can discuss quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence and fluid mechanics and synthetic biology together at GTIIT。 The essential function of a university is to spread knowledge, explore truth and promote social justice and equity。
We hope that the intersection of disciplines can stimulate students’ desire to seek and explore knowledge。 We are confident to cultivate interdisciplinary talents with respect for others, the courage to take social responsibilities and the sense of innovation!” Xu Peng, Associate Professor of GTIIT Chemical Engineering Department, believes that innovation without basic disciplines is like water without a source and a tree without roots。 If the foundation of basic subjects is not solid enough, it is difficult to make great innovations。
“This requires us not to rush for quick success, but to establish the consciousness of scientific and technological innovation so that we can win the respect of the world。”
The laboratory is the cradle of inspiration and innovation. With the advanced experimental instruments and space, GTIIT provides the first-class experimental conditions for teachers and students, making the teaching and research work more effective. “We encourage students to participate in lab projects. Only when they encounter problems on the front line of scientific research can they combine knowledge in books and truly apply what they have learned. We should train students’ basic engineering thinking in freshman year, teach them to integrate the knowledge of chemistry, physics and biology learned in high school and apply it to practical problems to solve engineering problems. And by thinking about some of the phenomena in life, we can introduce the basic scientific laws gradually,” Prof. Xu Peng introduced.
Promoting the training of talents in basic disciplines is a systematic project that requires long-term efforts while benefits the long term. Jiang Youhua, Assistant Professor of GTIIT Mechanical Engineering Department, believes that basic subjects are universal and can be applied to many fields, whether in employment or further study. “As a science and technology university, the curriculum and talent training methods of GTIIT are carried out around the talent training of basic disciplines. Our teaching is divided into three parts – lecture, tutorial and office hour. Students can come to our office to ask questions in Office Hour. They will receive personalized guidance from the teachers, and we will spare no effort to support them in the foundation stage.”
GTIIT gives full play to the advantages of profound basic research and interdisciplinary integration, and takes actions to foster innovation and creativity. In 2018, Guangdong has been listed in the “Guangdong High Level University Development Program”. In 2021, GTIIT was approved as a major program for the fundamental research of Guangdong Province, and the key laboratory of Guangdong Province was added.
Wang Yan, Assistant Professor of GTIIT Chemical Engineering Department, is mainly engaged in the field of wearable electronic devices. This is an interdisciplinary field, requiring a solid scientific foundation in chemistry, physics, biology, machinery, etc. She believes that basic science is a source of innovation and is of great importance to applied science and production markets. “Only by focusing on basic scientific research can we maintain our capacity for independent innovation forever, which is very important for a country’s development. Since its establishment, GTIIT has attached great importance to the development of basic research and has been preparing for the cultivation of innovative talents.”
