according to reports, hubei second normal university has integrated a mathematics, technology, and engineering education center, and has three sub-centers under the stem education center: mathematics education center, science and technology education center, and engineering education center. the mathematics education center is committed to the dissemination of mathematical culture and the cultivation of mathematical thinking; the science and technology education center focuses on the development of popular science education and practical activities; and the engineering education center focuses on improving students' engineering literacy and innovation abilities. this diversified educational structure will help improve the science communication ability of school normal students and cultivate future teachers with interdisciplinary vision and comprehensive abilities.
among them, the mathematics education center is established based on the school of mathematics and statistics. future work plans include setting up a general course of "mathematical history and mathematics culture", integrating ideological and political education into university mathematics public courses, creating a science popularization base, holding mathematics culture festivals and integrating mathematics culture into integrate into social practice. the center will cooperate with primary and secondary schools to carry out diverse science popularization activities, build a communication platform through cultural festivals, and organize volunteer services to allow young people in the community to experience the charm of mathematics. these measures aim to strengthen the dissemination of mathematics culture, guide students to understand the connection between mathematics and social development, feel the diverse value of mathematics, and enhance innovation awareness and cultural literacy.
the science and technology education center is established in the school of physics and mechanical and electrical engineering. the college has built the hubei basic astronomy education base and the east lake high-tech zone primary and secondary labor education practice base. it has nearly 2,000 square meters of space and science popularization equipment worth 30 million yuan; it has launched the "starry sky" planned more than 50 activities such as "summer camps", covering more than 10 counties and cities, with an audience of more than 30,000 people; held the first hubei province middle school students' astronomy knowledge competition, with about 20,000 participants; added astronomy courses to the training program for physics normal students, two provincial first-class virtual simulation courses have been approved, and students’ social practice has won multiple national and provincial awards. in the future, the science and technology education center will carry out work in three directions: investigating the current situation of youth science education, strengthening the cultivation of science popularization skills of normal school students, and exploring the "trinity" science popularization cooperation and development mechanism.
the engineering education center is listed in the school of computer science. the center has a site of 7,607.9 square meters, total equipment assets of 77.8488 million yuan, and has built a smart education industry college, an artificial intelligence science popularization base, etc. the teaching staff is strong, with 11 professors and 45 dual-qualified teachers, 3 of whom are hubei provincial industrial professors. the team has won 12 hubei provincial science and technology progress awards. the center has outstanding performance in artificial intelligence teacher training, science popularization exchanges and student research. in the future, the center will clarify its goals and positioning, integrate resources, strengthen school-enterprise cooperation, provide more engineering practice opportunities for normal students, and provide a training platform for in-service teachers.
the establishment of the stem education center marks an important step for hubei second normal university in integrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics education resources. this move not only reflects the school’s positive response to national education policies, but also demonstrates the school’s determination and strength in promoting educational innovation and reform. by establishing three sub-centers for mathematics, technology and engineering, the school can integrate existing resources more effectively, give full play to the advantages of each discipline, and provide all-round stem education and training for normal students.
