The first class meeting of the new semester was held as scheduled this Tuesday. The topics covered were broad, all of which are of concern to sophomore students. Firstly, a new transfer student introduced himself, and I inquired about his understanding and adaptation to Industrial Engineering, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the new environment. Next, we discussed safety education, including preventing telecommunications fraud, dormitory safety management, and prevention of spring infectious diseases. I also talked about class academic atmosphere, the percentage of excellent grades from last semester, and the percentage of students improving to excellent. In addition, I explained in detail the preparation and application process for science and technology competitions, as well as the new policies and possible paths for postgraduate entrance examinations, covering multiple aspects such as studies, safety, job search, and personal planning.

A student transferred from Logistics Management to Industrial Engineering due to health reasons. He shared his understanding and adaptation process to the new major, expressed his desire to quickly integrate into the new group, and promised to actively participate in class activities and build good relationships with his classmates.

I emphasized the importance of preventing telecommunications fraud, prohibiting the use of unauthorized electrical appliances, and preventing spring infectious diseases, especially the hygiene and ventilation of the dormitory environment, reminding students to work together to maintain a clean dormitory environment and pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent infectious diseases.

I focused on class performance and academic atmosphere, reminding students to pay attention to their makeup exam results and encouraging them to improve their pass rate, aiming for class leadership within the major and fostering a positive class spirit. The university updated its award and honors policies, requiring a physical fitness test score of 80 or higher. This measure aims to encourage students to improve their physical fitness and balance study and exercise time. The university plans to organize unified sports activities, such as fun runs, to promote participation from all students. A peer support policy will be implemented within the class to help students with learning difficulties.

I then discussed the importance of science and technology competitions and the timing of applying for innovation and entrepreneurship projects, emphasizing the contribution of extracurricular science and technology activities to GPA and methods for improving application efficiency using AI tools. I suggested students complete their applications by March 30th, encouraged communication with advisors to improve project quality, and pointed out that skillful use of tools can significantly improve efficiency. Regarding Industrial Engineering competitions, including the 2026 Industrial Engineering Lean Management Competition (university-level competition) and the IE Bright Sword Competition, I emphasized that although not Category A competitions, participation can accumulate experience beneficial for future higher-level competitions. Regarding the application for SRTP and mathematical modeling competitions, students were encouraged to actively contact their advisors, prepare in advance, and leverage their existing experience to enhance their competitiveness. For bonus point strategies in science and technology competitions, papers, and patents, the importance of papers in the completion requirements of SRTP was emphasized, and students were advised to plan their paper submissions in advance. Regarding patents, it was suggested that utility model patents can be written independently, saving agency fees, while invention patents require preliminary review by the university, which takes longer. Students were encouraged to participate in science and technology competitions and plan their papers and patents early to gain bonus points.

I then explained the trends in postgraduate entrance examination and the challenges of choosing a major. I analyzed that starting in 2027, professional master’s programs under the first-level discipline of Management Science and Engineering will no longer recruit recent graduates, but will instead require at least three years of work experience, thus limiting the postgraduate options for recent graduates. Although the number of applicants nationwide has decreased, the national minimum score has increased, intensifying competition for postgraduate studies, especially for those preparing for a second attempt or switching majors. Academic master’s programs have become another option, but the threshold is high, requiring direct entry to a doctoral program, and the admission competition is fierce. Guaranteed admission and switching majors have become alternative paths, making the overall postgraduate entrance examination situation more severe than before. Currently, as long as the basic requirements for postgraduate admission are met, it is easier to be recommended to a 211 or 985 university than to take the postgraduate entrance examination. For those considering postgraduate studies in a different field, mechanical engineering and human factors design are good options, as detailed in previous class meetings. The current employment situation is relatively optimistic, with the employment rate ranking first among the four majors in the college, so direct employment is also a good choice.

新学期第一次班会本周二如期举行，本次班会的议题涉及面广，都是大二学生所关心的话题。首先让一位本学期新转入的同学自我介绍，询问他对工业工程专业的了解和适应度，强调适应新环境的重要性。接着讨论了安全教育，包括防范电信诈骗、宿舍安全管理和春季传染病预防。我还谈到了班级学风、上学期班级成绩优良率和提升优秀率。此外，还详细解释了科技竞赛的准备和申请流程，以及考研新政策和可能的选择路径，覆盖了学习、安全、就业、未来规划等多个方面。

一位同学因身体原因转学，从物流管理专业转至工业工程专业，他分享了对新专业的认知与适应过程，表达了希望尽快融入新集体的愿望，并承诺将积极参与班级活动，与同学们建立良好关系。

我强调了防范电信诈骗、禁止使用违章电器以及春季传染病预防的重要性，特别是宿舍环境的卫生与通风，提醒学生共同维护宿舍环境，注重个人卫生，以预防传染病。

我围绕班级成绩及学风建设展开，提醒关注补考成绩，鼓励提高优秀率，以期班级成绩在专业内领先，形成良好班风。学校更新了评奖评优政策，要求体测成绩达到80分以上。此举旨在鼓励学生增强身体素质，平衡学习与锻炼时间。学校计划组织统一的体育活动，如乐跑，以促进全体学生参与。班级内部将实施帮扶政策，帮助学习有困难的同学。

我接着围绕科技竞赛的重要性及申报大创项目的时机展开，强调了课外科技活动对平均学分绩点的贡献，以及利用AI工具提高申报效率的方法。建议学生在3月30日前完成申报，鼓励与导师沟通以提升项目质量，并指出善于使用工具能显著提高效率。工业工程专业赛事，包括2026年工业工程精益管理比赛的校赛和IE亮剑大赛，强调虽非A类赛事，但参与可积累经验，利于未来更高水平赛事。提及大创项目申报及数学建模比赛，鼓励同学积极联系导师，提前准备，利用现有经验提升竞争力。对于科技竞赛、论文和专利的加分策略，强调了大创项目结题条件中论文的重要性，建议学生提前谋划论文投稿。对于专利，提出实用新型专利可自行撰写，节省代理费用，而发明专利需通过学校初审，周期较长。鼓励学生参与科技竞赛及早规划论文专利，以获取加分机会。

我接着解释考研趋势与专业选择挑战，分析了从2027年起，管理科学与工程一级学科下专硕不再面向应届生招生，转而要求至少三年工作经验，使得应届生考研选择受限。尽管全国报考人数减少，但国家线升高，考研竞争加剧，尤其对于准备二战或跨专业考生。学硕成为另一选择，但门槛高，需直博，且录取竞争激烈。保研与跨专业成为替代路径，整体考研形势比以往更为严峻。目前看来，只要达到学校的保研基本要求，保送至一所211或985高校的难度低于考研，跨专业考研目前可以考虑机械类专业和人因设计类专业，详细内容已经在前几次的班会上强调过。目前就业形势比较乐观，就业率在学院四个专业中排名第一，因此直接就业也是一项不错的选择。
