Construction of Mycological Science and Engineering major and talent training plan under the background of New Agricultural Science

Abstract:

Mycological science and engineering major will be set up under the background of the “New agricultural science”, which would accelerate the process of agricultural structural reform and provide the guarantee for training more talents in mycology. Relying on subjects (Mycology and Mushroom crops) and scientific research platform (Engineering research center of edible and medicinal fungi of ministry of education), Mycological science and engineering takes fungi as the features, which aims to train the compound talents who could master the basic theories of biology and mycology, and possess the theoretical and practical knowledge of germplasm resources of fungi, cultivation and breeding of mushroom crop, and fungal food and medicine processing. The establishment of mycological science and engineering major is not only the need of industry development and scientific research, it is also the key measure to solve the main problems in training talents. Based on the concepts of “based on Undergraduate Education”, boost the four regressions, the ideal of morel education and “student-centered”, the major will be constructed around the teaching staff, teaching system, practical teaching platform and teaching guarantee system for training more talents for local and national service. In the next 3 to 5 years, mycological science and engineering will continue to promote the reform in gold class construction and other aspects, strive to for first-class major construction of Jilin province, and step to the national first class major. The establishing and development of the mycological science and engineering major would be both an opportunity and a challenge. we call on more mycologists and talents to join us and contribute to the construction the major and subject.
