Professor Zhang Liangjie and Associate Professor Zou Yongpan of the School of Computer Technology and Software of Shenzhen University participated in the "New Era of Computer Undergraduate Education Forum" On June 16, 2024, the "New Era of Computer Undergraduate Education Forum" hosted by the School of Information Science and Technology of the University of Greater Bay Area was held at the Songshanhu Campus of the University of Greater Bay Area. Experts, scholars and administrators from 21 universities in China, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, Southern University of Science and Technology, focused on the cultivation of undergraduate computer science professionals in China's research universities, analyzed the current key challenges, summarized the past successful experience, so as to improve the existing undergraduate computer science education system and design a new system. In order to better contribute to the new era of computer undergraduate education. During the discussion, many experts emphasized the problem-oriented undergraduate computer education, which helps students lay a solid foundation while encouraging them to learn and master computer-related theoretical knowledge in the project, whether it is in the laboratory or in the enterprise internship, and apply it to specific problems. In addition, it is necessary to keep pace with The Times in teaching, combine artificial intelligence tools such as large models and market demand, and guide students to quickly contact the computer frontier and exercise relevant skills. It is particularly important to encourage the initiative of students, including independent course selection, independent topic selection, independent project selection, etc., to provide a good environment for independent learning and stimulate their innovation and progress. The forum also formed the Songshan Lake Declaration of "New Era Computer Undergraduate Education Forum". The forum also formed the Songshan Lake Declaration of "New Era Computer Undergraduate Education Forum". Mr. Sy is authorized for distribution.

New era Computer undergraduate Education Forum

Songshan Lake Declaration

"New Era Computer Undergraduate Education Forum" was held in Dongguan Songshan Lake on June 16, 2024. Representatives from 21 universities in and outside the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, who have both in-depth thinking and long-term practice in computer education, gathered to discuss the new achievements of undergraduate computer education in China's research universities in the new era.

1. We believe that the great changes unseen in mankind in a century are the biggest theme of our era, in which the Chinese nation will achieve great rejuvenation, and it is the inevitable belonging and lofty mission of our generation, especially our students. Among them, building China into an innovative country rather than staying in the catch-up mode is a necessary condition and a key pursuit that cannot be delayed.

Therefore, the undergraduate computer education of research universities in the new era should pay more attention to the problem-oriented teaching of the core foundation of computer science, strengthen the cultivation of basic abilities such as creativity, analysis, reasoning and construction in the context of computing, and deepen the root of computational thinking, so as to cultivate more computer class talents with first-principle thinking consciousness and source innovation potential.

2. We recognize that due to the development of computing and communication technology in the past 30 years, the digitization and computerization of human economic, social and technological progress is not only a call, but also a rapid formation, and computing has become a public background in various fields. Computer science and technology are not only ubiquitous, but will also gain new development in the intersection with multiple disciplines.

Therefore, the undergraduate computer education of research universities in the new era should broaden students' horizons in the forefront of economic and social development and scientific and technological progress, and enable students to understand China and perceive the world through the mirror of computing. Develop both academic and perceptual industry; Not only familiar with the progress of the profession, but also aware of the trend of big technology, to become a "computing +" or "+ computing" promoter.

3, we also see that under the support of the Internet and big data, large computing power, and large models, the emergence of high-level, extensive, and generative machine intelligence has made artificial intelligence show a vibrant end-to-end charm, which has brought great opportunities for the choice of educational content and the development of educational methods, but also put forward alarming challenges.

To this end, the use of AI to train talents to control AI has become a promising road, and the computer profession has unique conditions. In the undergraduate computer education of research universities in the new era, it is necessary to re-examine the traditional curriculum setting and implementation methods, absorb the essence, remove the bubble, develop lean courses, innovate practical content, use digital intelligence technology, improve the evaluation of teaching and learning, so that students can achieve the maximum and most solid harvest in the limited time.

Since the beginning of the new century, the vigorous development of computing technologies such as cloud computing, big data, mobile computing and streaming media has brought about great changes in the global economy and society, and also promoted great progress in Chinese society. This wave of the rise of artificial intelligence has brought people a very broad vision. As computer educators, we are excited by the opportunities, but also feel responsible for the challenges. Contributing to the new era, the training of computer undergraduate talents in research universities should not only make new achievements, but also adapt to building China into an innovative country. Let's learn from global experience, refine educational ideas, explore curriculum reform, innovate teaching practices, form an open source community, promote exchanges and mutual learning, and strive to explore a new path for undergraduate computer education in the new era!
