Chapter 379 Applying for National Key Disciplines (subscription)

On the day he returned to Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, Ding Yue had a little jet lag.

He was so jet-lagged that he slept until the next morning.

When he was in Zurich, Switzerland, he felt strange when he woke up in the morning and thought that it was still early in the morning in China.

When Ding woke up in the morning, he received a phone call from his secretary Wen Ruohan.

"President Ding, after we came back yesterday, Fog City News, Fog City Education Department, and the National Computer Association all contacted us, but considering that President Ding is jet-lagged, I asked them to contact me again today, I think it should be that after we won the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition, they have something to ask us at Fog City University of Arts and Sciences. "

On the phone, Wen Ruohan quickly reported.

"Got it, I'll handle these things."

Ding Yue was very calm after hearing the words.

The Mist City News, the Mist City Education Department, and the National Computer Society must have just won the ACM National Undergraduate Programming Competition in Europe for Mist City University of Arts and Sciences to contact him.

After getting up, Ding Yue washed up and went to the second dining hall to have breakfast.

After that, he went to his office in the administration building and looked at the time: 8:55 am.

It was 8:55 a.m. The working time was 9:00 a.m. Ding was not in a hurry, and those units and departments that Wen Ruohan said were looking for him would definitely call after working hours.

However.

To Ding's surprise, at 8:59, his cell phone rang.

The person who could directly call Ding Yue's cell phone must not be an ordinary person.

As expected.

Ding Yue looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Xiao Wenxing, the director of the Mist City Education Department.

The director of the Education Department of Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, Xiao Wenxing, is the director in charge of education.

In addition, Xiao Wenxing is very optimistic about Mist City University of Arts and Sciences, and has given a lot of support to it over the past year.

In private, Ding Yue has a good relationship with Xiao Wenxing, the director of the university.

"Hello, Xiao Wenxing, good morning."

Ding Yue immediately answered the phone.

"I called you yesterday, but I forgot that you guys just got back and are jet-lagged, hahaha."

On the phone, Administrator Xiao Wenxing's tone was amicable.

"Well, I can't help it, whoever let the difference between Europe and us is seven or eight hours.

Ding Yue said chatting idly.

"President Ding, I'm making this call because I want to congratulate your Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, this time you went abroad to participate in an international type of competition and came back with a championship, this is no small honor ah."

Administrator Xiao Wenxing congratulated: "Congratulations to you guys."

"Administrator Xiao you are so polite." Ding Yue smiled.

"Hey hey hey, this is not me being polite ha, ACM International College Programming Competition, although this competition is not very well-known, but the monetary value is very high, you have won the global championship, what does this mean, this means that the computer science major of your Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, has reached the top level of the world ah."

Director Xiao Wenxing said in a very serious tone.

"I'm afraid there's still a gap between the world's top level and the strength of our school's computer science majors.

Ding Yue was still very modest.

In all seriousness, with the current strength of Mist City University of Arts and Sciences computer science majors, it is indeed a bit exaggerated to say that they are at the top level of the world.

The overall level of the computer science department of Mist City University of Arts and Sciences may leap ahead in China, which is considered very good.

But in fact, compared with the California Institute of Technology and St. Petersburg State University, which are the ace computer science universities, the gap is still very big.

"Anyway, this time you have made a name for yourselves, President Ding, have you ever considered making the computer science major of your Fog City University of Arts and Sciences a key major in the city, or even in the country?"

Xiao Wenxing Administrator asked with a flourish.

"Of course I would like to, do you have a chance, Director Xiao?" Ding Yue heard the words and immediately replied.

It's definitely a good thing for Misty City University of Arts and Sciences to be officially certified as a provincial or even national key major.

Although the Computer Science major of Misty City University of Arts and Sciences has been evaluated by the system side as a provincial-level key major, it's still a good thing for its social status and influence.

However, in terms of social status and influence, it is obvious that the official recognition of the state is still the most convincing.

"The Education Department is interested in applying for the National Key Discipline for your Mist City University of Arts and Sciences," said Xiao Wenxing, the director of the university. Xiao Wenxing, Director of the Education Department, said.

"Great, then thank you, Director Xiao, what exactly do we need to do here at Fog City University of Arts and Sciences?"

Ding Yue immediately asked happily.

If we could apply for the national key discipline, this private university, Mist City University of Arts and Sciences, would be equivalent to a certain degree of official recognition.

Even if it is only Computer Science, that would be enough.

It must be known that nowadays, among the private universities in Xia, there are only a handful of national key disciplines that are officially recognized by the state.

If Ding remembers correctly, Xu Dongcheng's Xiguang University seems to have several disciplines that are at the national key level.

This is what is commonly referred to as a private key.

If a private university can have a private key discipline, it is already quite successful.

Ding Yue's Mist City University of Arts and Sciences has the opportunity to apply for this national key discipline by virtue of being the winner of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition.

"President Ding, you Mist City University of Arts and Sciences here to prepare the relevant materials for the application, to fully reflect the comprehensive strength of the computer science department of your Mist City University of Arts and Sciences, and then add the winner of this ACM International Undergraduate Programming Competition, I think after submitting it, as long as the strength of your computer science department is sufficient, then there should be no problem. "

Administrator Xiao Wenxing explained the materials that needed to be prepared on Ding Yue's side.

"Okay Director Xiao, I understand, I'll ask the Computer Science Department to start preparing the relevant materials."

"Very good, after the materials are ready, submit them to our Mist City Education Department, and then we will submit them again to apply for the National Key Discipline for you!"

"Thank you, Director Xiao."

"This is the opportunity you've earned for yourselves."

After chatting with Xiao Wenxing for a while and hanging up the phone, Ding Yue immediately asked his secretary Wen Ruohan to start preparing the computer department's materials.

This material included detailed comprehensive information about the Computer Science Department of Fog City University of Arts and Sciences.

For example, faculty strength, teaching equipment and resources, teaching achievements and so on, these materials are important to whether the computer science department of Wusheng University of Arts and Sciences can become a national key academic discipline.

However, this should not be a big problem for Ding, because since Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has focused on the development of the Computer Science Department, it has been very good in terms of faculty strength, teaching equipment and resources, teaching achievements, etc. Moreover, the Computer Science Department of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is also in close cooperation with Yancheng University.

What's more, the computer science department of Wusheng University of Arts and Sciences has established a cooperative relationship with the artificial intelligence science program of Yancheng University.

All these, plus the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition championship, Ding believes that it should not be a big problem to get the national key subject, right?

According to Xiao Wenxing, the official results will be available in the spring and summer of next year after the materials are submitted now.

This means that if it passes, then the computer department of Mist City University of Arts and Sciences will be a national key discipline when the student enrolls next September.

That's an instant surge in attraction!

So it seems very likely that the Computer Science Department will be the strongest departmental major at Fog City University of Arts and Sciences starting next year!

Then the Mechanical Department followed, and the School of Architecture, the School of Medicine and the Animation Program were not far behind.

"My Fog City University of Arts and Sciences is getting stronger day by day!"

Ding Yue couldn't help but secretly lamented.

At this rate of development, Fog City University of Arts and Sciences might have a chance to become a first-class university in China within ten years.

It might even have a chance to become a national double-class university.

If the computer science major is approved to become a national key discipline, then the next one is to hit the first-class discipline.

In order to smoothly submit materials to apply for the National Key Discipline, Ding specially asked the head of the Computer Science Department, Liu Wei, to call all the Computer Science students to a meeting in the auditorium of the university.

At the same time, it was also a recognition meeting for the three students who got the ACM International College Programming Contest team.

"Okay, okay President Ding, I'll prepare!" On the phone, Liu Wei, head of the Computer Science Department, was busy responding.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to prepare the relevant matters.

In the afternoon, Ding Yue came to the auditorium hall where the Computer Science Department held the award ceremony.

Ding Yue came to the auditorium hall where the Computer Science Department held the award ceremony.

This auditorium can accommodate several hundred people, and is currently the largest indoor venue suitable for holding cultural activities in Fog City University of Arts and Sciences.

Of course, the gymnasium is the exception.

The reason why Ding Yue wanted to hold this commendation meeting, apart from the fact that he really wanted to commend Xu Bin, Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, there was another very important reason.

That is, Ding Yue was going to use the [Computer Science Department Student Bully Card].

And since he was going to use the [Computer Department Scholar Card] for all the Computer Science students, then he needed to gather them all together.

"Brother Yue, this is still the whole recognition ceremony, it's completely unnecessary, hahahaha." After seeing Ding Yue come over, Xu Bin came up and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter whether you commend or not, the two students, Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, definitely need to be commended."

Ding Yue glared at Xu Bin.

He knew that Xu Bin, a guy who was rather indifferent to fame and fortune, liked to toss around computer-related programs and technologies.

If this [Department of Computer Science Student Card] was used by Xu Bin, with his talent and intelligence, he might be able to increase his learning efficiency by a maximum percentage, that is, 10%.

If Xu Bin was given another ten percent promotion, he would probably be able to move up another level.

When Ding Yue first opened Mist City University of Arts and Sciences, he never thought that his junior partner Xu Bin would become one of the representatives of Mist City University of Arts and Sciences.

"President Ding, the students are all here, not a bad one all here, shall we start now?"

Liu Wei, the head of the Computer Science Department, came over and reported to President Ding.

Ding Yue looked along the auditorium hall, which was densely populated with computer science students.

"Well, good, let's start now." Ding Yue nodded and said to Director Liu Wei.

And so it was.

Liu Wei went up to the stage and began to make the opening speech of today's ceremony.

After the speech, Liu Wei purposely raised the volume and said, "Please welcome our President Ding to give a speech and award the winning team."

In order to organize this evening's recognition ceremony, Department Chair Liu Wei specifically asked the school's graphics studio to customize the banner.

The inscription on the banner reads - ACM Champion Recognition Ceremony for the Computer Science Department of Fog City University of Arts and Sciences!

In addition, because there was an awarding and commendation section, Liu Wei also specially customized three medals made from the Fog City University of Arts and Sciences logo, as well as three prize plaques.

President Ding was going to reward the winning team with 300,000 RMB each, and although the prize money had already been given by the finance department this morning, it was still necessary to have a prize medal at the ceremony.

After Department Head Liu Wei left the stage, Ding Yue came up to the microphone.

"Good afternoon, students!"

Ding jumped in front of the microphone and held out his hand, raising it forty-five degrees, to greet his students.

"Good afternoon, Principal Ding!"

The students applauded and cheered.

It is only natural that the students love their President Ding because of his ability, heart, and teaching policies.

"This department has a group of excellent students full of youthful vitality like you, as well as geniuses like Xu Bin, Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen who work hard. I believe that in the future, the Department of Computer Science of Misty University of Arts and Sciences will become one of the first-class and even the best in China. World Class!"

Ding Yue gave an impassioned speech, which drew thunderous applause from the students.

"Today's protagonist is the team that won the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition, let's welcome them!"

Along with the clamor of applause, Xu Bin, Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen walked up to the stage in unison and stood behind Ding Yue's left side.

"They have brought international honors to our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, so the university specially holds this meeting to commend them, and the university has decided to give each of them a bonus of 300,000 yuan!"

When Ding's voice fell, the students in the audience were amazed.

Three hundred thousand dollars in prize money!

This is not a small amount of money.

Even for most of the students from good families, 300,000 is a huge amount of money.

Among the private universities in China, only President Ding would be so generous, right?

A principal who doesn't agree and gives big bonuses, this kind of principal is just love love love!
