To deepen collaborative innovation between universities and enterprises and promote the deep integration of industry, academia, and research, a delegation led by Chen Yiduan, Party Secretary of Xiamen Ocean Vocational and Technical College, visited Hefonix on the afternoon of April 10th for an inspection and exchange.
Distinguished Professor Li Lina, Deputy Director of the Employment and Entrepreneurship Office Zhou Min, Party Secretary of the School of Navigation Lin Shanqian, and faculty representatives from the Marine Engineering Teaching and Research Department accompanied the delegation for the exchange. General Manager Morris and Deputy General Manager Liu Yongguang provided guidance throughout the visit.
During the discussion, the two sides engaged in an in-depth discussion on the development progress, technical challenges, and collaborative talent development of the "Ultra-Large Dual-Fuel Vessel Full-Mission Integrated Simulation Training System" (hereinafter referred to as the "Training System"), a core project of the university-enterprise joint research project.
After listening to the report, Secretary Chen Yiduan fully affirmed the achievements made so far and emphasized that enterprises should continue to play a leading role in innovation, focusing on "solving industry pain points and serving teaching needs" and deepening the integration of technology research and development with educational scenarios. They expressed their hope that both parties will further collaborate to develop this system into a benchmark product that combines practical teaching with industry leadership, providing stronger support for the cultivation of green shipping talent.
After the meeting, college leaders observed and experienced the company's core products, including the ship handling simulator and the MR cabin virtual assembly and disassembly training system. During the demonstration, Secretary Chen Yiduan praised the product models' sophistication, professional functionality, and user-friendly operation. He also expressed his expectations for the company's future research and development, emphasizing the need to build on existing achievements by further enhancing the fidelity of real-world scenarios, continuously strengthening students' capabilities in practical training such as handling complex sea conditions and troubleshooting equipment problems, and accelerating the two-way integration of curriculum resources with corporate standards to truly achieve "learning-to-use."
General Manager Morris expressed his gratitude to the leaders of Xiamen Ocean Vocational and Technical College for their visit and guidance, and expressed the company's willingness to work with the college to empower talent development with an open and inclusive attitude.
