Multi-disciplinary collaborative innovation capacity training scheme

Abstract

Due to the highly integrated trend of technologies, creating a new high-tech product requires close and efficient collaborative innovation and cooperation of the research and development (R & D) team consisting of various professional talents. The multi-disciplinary collaborative innovation capacity should be cultivated in the undergraduate phase. In response to this demand, we present the multi-disciplinary collaborative innovation capacity training scheme. Based on complex projects involving multiple disciplines, a four-dimensional (professional, role, task and ability) collaborative innovation capacity training scheme is proposed: the team members are assigned with different transactional roles in accordance with their characteristics and tendencies, and they are also allocated with R & D tasks in accordance with their professional attributes and strengths. In the process of R & D projects, students from different majors can not only understand their professional knowledge better and develop their research capability, but also learn from other members' professional knowledge practically, and master the cooperation skills. As a result, both their collaboration ability and teamwork spirit are enhanced. While students receive scientific and technological knowledge, their sense of innovation and creative potential are inspired. The comprehensive features of robotics technology and the breadth of robotics applications make robots an ideal interdisciplinary and intersecting education and practice platform. We adopt the robot project as a typical case and platform to put the proposed training mode and the five-phase training process into practice, which provides a good reference for the practical application.
