In order to help the 2025 graduate students quickly integrate into the research and study environment, clarify their academic goals, strengthen collective cohesion and raise their safety awareness, the Institute of Engineering Technology recently successfully held grade meetings and themed class meetings for the new students.

Grade Meeting: Building Dreams, Setting Sail and Drawing the Blueprint

On the afternoon of August 29, the 2025 grade meeting for new graduate students of IET and the "First Lesson of the New Semester" on safety education were held in the viewing hall on the second floor of the main building of Changping Innovation Park. With the theme "Safety Is No Small Matter, Keep Vigilance in Mind," counselor Zhou Hongyu helped the new students quickly understand graduate life by covering matters such as enrollment instructions, school rules and discipline, awards and evaluations, publicly funded medical care and research competitions; counselor Su Mingxing conducted safety education training for all the new students, urging them to strengthen their safety vigilance with real cases in areas such as fraud prevention and anti-fraud, fire safety, traffic safety, food safety and psychological safety.

After the grade meeting, all the new students watched the anti-fraud micro-film "Heart Defense: Reborn to Fight Fraud at University."

Themed Class Meetings: Building Consensus and Exploring the Future Together

On September 8, 11 and 12, IET held the first themed class meeting for 2025 graduate students under the theme "Building Dreams Together in Youth, Pursuing Research Hand in Hand" at the Changping, Shahe and Guanzhuang campuses respectively. At the meeting, counselor Zhou Hongyu answered questions one by one concerning course study, dormitory life, research practice, academic lectures and recommendation for Party membership, and counselor Su Mingxing carried out dedicated safety education on key topics such as traffic safety and anti-fraud in the new semester, guiding the students to strengthen their understanding that "safety is no small matter."

At the class meetings, the students introduced themselves individually and held the selection of class committees for the new students. In the future, it is hoped that the class committee members will give full play to their role as a bridge, conscientiously perform their duties and actively serve, and strive tirelessly to build an excellent class that "listens to and follows the Party, has ideals and abilities."

These grade meetings and class meetings for the new students mark a new starting point for the 2025 cohort at the graduate stage. It is expected that all IET students, on the journey of research in the future, will fulfill the mission of serving the country through science and technology with the responsibility of an "iron backbone," forge hard-core strength in collaborative innovation, and contribute the strength of IET,USTB to the building of a manufacturing powerhouse with youthful wisdom.
