In recent years, the school has been focusing on improving our curriculums emphasizing on Liberal Education and cultivating students' interests in innovation and entrepreneurship. We established a fund and an incubator to support innovation and entrepreneurship in the campus. We also established a science and technology park to host matured projects before they go to market independently. We constantly introduce new incentives and measures to encourage students’ interaction and collaboration in and out of classroom. Our students’ overall quality, practical problem solving ability, and innovative mindset have been recognized widely, and specifically on the job market. In recent years, our graduate employment rate has been maintained at more than 90% rate consistently.
