Engineer school offers money back for trainees
Print Edition
The Engineer College in Jiading Industrial Zone opened recently. Senior engineers and researchers from enterprises such as Volvo and Continental Automotive Systems (Shanghai) become tutors to give lectures to frontline workers.
The college has recruited 10 lecturers with plans to provide courses in automobile new energy technology, machinery 3D modeling and processing, repairs and generators.
Courses are held on weekday evenings or at weekends. Every stage of learning consists of about 100 classes.
The course fee — 1,000 yuan (US$152) — is returned to students once they complete the course and pass the exam as an incentive to attract more students.
A PLC programming course on Sunday afternoons attracted 32 employees from 15 companies. One of them is Ma Decheng, a repair technician from Shanghai Yingta Air-condition Enterprise.
He said: “Computers are widely used in many top companies, such as the testing service in 4S car retailers. The manual repairing will be eliminated sooner or later.”
Other students such as Qi Zhonglin apply what they learn in class to their research and development projects. Qi and his colleagues co-developed a cold-chain delivery truck powered by solar energy. The course inspired him to replace the traditional mechanic control switch with a programming logical one. Such an idea helped to eliminate the safety hazard of operating the truck. Qi’s team have received orders for more than 600 trucks.
The college aims to provide both theory and hands-on training courses.
