Introduction to School of Software, NIT

School of Software(SoS), NIT is one of pilot software-professional technology institute approved by Education Administration of Henan Province, China. 90 faculties are related to computer science, 9 people are professors or associate professors. More than 80 teachers are masters or doctors. In addition, 4 people are of certificated silver-medal tutors of Microsoft, 1 is the member of the national eduction consultant committee, and more than half faculties have engineering experience. The major of software engineering has participated in “Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program” proposed by the China’s National Ministry of Education ever since 2011. Such major also started the specialty-comprehensive reform by Henan Provincial Education Department in 2013. At the same year, we signed a pact of joint-educating master gradates with East Stroutsburg University (ESU), USA.

We constantly adhere to the idea of running school with “humanism (human-oriented), holistic-educating, morality-esteem and technology-advocating,general-knowledge and staff-specialized, society-serving”, explore talent-training mode of CDIO engineering education, and exploit brand new cooperation pattern between our university and enterprises to form this running-school idea of designing our talent training programs by requirements from industries, reinforcing procedure management to strengthen the teaching style, underscoring science research to improve teaching competence, constructing scenario-training platform to encourage students innovation and venture, conducting much more university-enterprise cooperation to exploit the new development mode, and developing international collaberation to improve internationalized education”. We have been cultivated massive professional talents mastering mainstream IT technology, good at top design, possessing different specialty background and great engineering concepts, and taking international mainstream software development technology as main clue.

Our school have successively been approved to construct “Cloud Computing and Virtualization Technology Engineering Laboratory of Henan Province”,“Self-adaptive Mobile Terminal Manipulation Technology Engineering Laboratory of Henan Province”, “Software Engineering Key Laboratory of Nanyang”, “Digital Media Technology Key Laboratory of Nanyang”. We have achieved tens of prizes over the IT fields in the past 3 years, for example, national patents, the second and third awards of the science and technology progress in Henan Province, and published over 100 high-level papers towards the IT fields. Our school is named as “Advanced Base Communist Party Organization in Henan Provincial Colleges and Universities” and “Advanced Collective in Higher Education and Teaching Affairs of Henan Province” by Henan Provincial Colleges and Universities Education Affairs Committee, and Henan Provincial Education Department, respectively.

1.School-running Model and Talent-Training Features

(1) Construction of course architecture features in engineering education, which involves cultivating the students' competence of engineering and team-cooperation, guiding students to participate in scientific and technological innovation.

To strengthen the students’ training states in a """"simulation environment"""", our school provides students with the """"practical stage"""" completely managed by the students within campus - """"College Students' Science and Technology Innovation Base"""" and """"College Students’ Business Incubator"""", occupying more than 4000 square meters and stationing more than 30 learning communities or project teams. Until now, our Innovational Base and Business Incubator have been successfully developing a lot of projects for more than 200 individuals or firms. There are 10 students earned for the national awards and more than 60 students for provincial awards, including one project gotten the venture capital from Angel Investors and moved to Shanghai for incubation.

(2) Focus on internationalization, international cooperation and exchanges, We carry out the depth of the school-enterprise cooperation with the international and domestic well-known software companies to construct our specialties together.

Since the foundation of School of Software, the technical experts from more than half of the top 10 well-known companies in the global IT industries visited us to expand the horizons and update the knowledge by giving lectures to students and holding the teachers fora. In recent years, our school established a close strategic partnership with Microsoft, Apple, Google, Oracle, Base FX, Redhat, Great Wall Computer (China) Ltd. Co., and China Digital Network Company. """"Microsoft-NIT Application Store opened in Oct. 2013, and any software from Microsoft are provided to the faculties and students in NIT with no charge. We transfered our enthusiastic applications for IDUP (iOS Developer University Program) to Apple and GDG(Google Developer Group) Developer Community to Google in 2011, gaining free technical supports from such two IT giants, established “Oracle-NIT Education Center with Oracle in 2012, where students may often listen to the excellent technical reports conveyed by the industrial experts within the campus to improve faculties and students’ tracking ability to newcoming IT technologies and software-developing competency, built specialty direction of Film and Television Special Effects Technology with Base FX(USA) in 2011 in which interested faculties and students can participate in the production of Chinese film special effects, built """"Great Wall- NIT Cloud Computing Laboratory"""" with the Great Wall Computer Co. Ltd. in 2012, and built """"Redhat College"""" with Redhat in 2011.

(3) We have strengthened the basic construction and set up all kinds of specialty laboratories fully open for the students communities.

There are abundent experiment centers and professional laboratories at our school, such as iOS Training Center (100 Apple Mac Computers), Software Development Center, Computer Network Experiment Center, owning 32 specialty laboratories and more than 4,000 computer equipment sets, and valuing more than 1900 million yuan.

To make full profit from such experimental equipment in teaching, we decided to open all the laboratories to students completely after an earlier trial of few, assigning these laboratory keys to students communities in 2011. Students from the communities managing laboratories can enter them to study. Such laboratory management model reflects the good-learning atmosphere and harmonious relationship between faculties and students.

(4) We improve the students’ English ability by various means to cultivate the professional talents facing the world.

There are serveral English-Chinese curricula in our curriculum offering and 10% - 20% questions have been writen in English on the final test paper of each professional course. In this way, we strive to improve the students' English ability to cultivate the international professionals.
