While continuously consolidating the legal foundation, it will give full play to the advantages of the school's engineering science subjects, pay attention to the combination of law and technology, conduct in-depth research on legal issues in the fields of "dual carbon" action, cultural relics protection, energy revolution, etc., and introduce them into classroom teaching.
In addition, in the field of intellectual property rights, in 2020, Taiyuan University of Technology was selected as the "National Intellectual Property Pilot Universities" (the only one in Shanxi as of now), and was selected as the second batch of National Intellectual Property Information Service Center of Colleges and Universities in the same year; in 2021, the "Taiyuan University of Technology Intellectual Property Research Institute" was jointly established with the Shanxi Provincial Intellectual Property Office. This provides rich practical opportunities for teachers and students in the Law Department of the School of Grammar and Law in promoting intellectual property protection.
"We hope to provide students with knowledge that can meet social needs, and the students trained can also meet social needs." Yang Jianhua said.
General education and professional education integrated development
Taiyuan University of Technology has a distinctive talent training model - the " Academy-made " education model. In August 2017, the school followed the development trend of higher education and established a basic college to implement centralized management of first-year undergraduate students and carry out the "integration of professional and professional" category training.
In 2019, in order to further strengthen ideological and political education , promote the simultaneous improvement of students' knowledge learning and ability development, strengthen the effective connection between major categories and professional training, and realize the coordinated interaction between basic education and general education, Basic College of Taiyuan University of Technology established three major academies "Hefen Academy", "Lingde Academy" and "Jinyang Academy" and began to implement the "academic system" education model.
In July 2020, the Basic College was officially renamed the College of Xushi, covering 67 undergraduate majors including science, engineering, literature, management, economics, law, sports, and art. Nearly 7,000 first-year undergraduate students were subject to centralized management and major training, general education was implemented, and sent to various professional colleges one year later to implement professional training.
Yang Jianhua introduced that students study in the academy in the first grade, based on general education courses, broaden their horizons and establish an interdisciplinary vision. "This year's study lays a good foundation for second-grade students to return to professional colleges to carry out professional learning, and it is easy for students to develop the habit of thinking and analyzing problems."
In addition to achieving the integration of general education and professional education, the Law Department of the School of Literature and Law of Taiyuan University of Technology has also continuously strengthened the cross-integration and development with the Department of Public Management and International Chinese Education under the college.
In terms of professional training, the Law Department of the School of Legal Affairs of Taiyuan University of Technology divides talent training into two categories: research-oriented and applied-oriented, focusing on teaching according to their aptitude. "We adopt different teaching methods for these two types of students." Yang Jianhua said that the cultivation of legal research talents mainly focuses on consolidating theoretical foundations, expanding research horizons, strengthening problem awareness, and broadening subject backgrounds, and cultivating legal application talents to carry out educational and teaching activities around the development of the times, social needs, and work characteristics.
In addition, the Department of Law, School of Legal Affairs, Taiyuan University of Technology, has always emphasized the importance of practical teaching. In addition to setting up special practical links such as cognitive internships, graduation internships, mock courts, academic year thesis, graduation thesis, etc., the department also clearly requires that the compulsory courses must include practical learning hours, and requires teachers of each course to continuously strengthen students' application of theoretical knowledge through various forms of practical methods during the teaching process, so as to improve students' ability to use theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems.
In order to enable students to go out of campus and carry out social practice in depth, teachers from the Law Department of the School of Literature and Law of the school have led students to carry out "Sending Law to the Countryside" public welfare legal publicity activities in rural and communities in Shanxi Province for several consecutive years to help local rural revitalization. Today, this activity has become the "public welfare business card" of Taiyuan University of Technology.
Yang Jianhua said that in the future, the college will also establish internship bases in Intellectual Property Court, Arbitration Committee , national cultural relics protection units, etc., continuously reform practical teaching system in the teaching plan, and establish a "college-level college student scientific research training project", give full play to students' innovative consciousness and strengthen students' legal application ability. At the same time, special funds will be allocated to support undergraduate students to actively participate in high-level legal academic conferences and expand their academic horizons.
Strengthen teachers and help the practice of the rule of law
For many years, the Department of Law of Taiyuan University of Technology has adhered to the concept of "combining introduction and education, taking multiple measures". Currently, the department has 21 full-time teachers, including 2 professors, 6 associate professors, and 8 have doctoral degrees. The proportion of law professors teaching undergraduates reaches 100%.

Yang Jianhua said that the teachers in the Department of Law of the hospital not only achieved great results in academic research, but also played an active role in serving the construction of a rule of law in Shanxi. In December 2020, Taiyuan University of Technology cooperated with Shanxi Provincial Department of Justice to establish the "Shanxi Provincial Administrative Legislation Base". Many teachers from the Law Department of the Court were selected as members of the Shanxi Provincial Administrative Legislation Expert Database.
"The Department of Law takes the administrative legislation base as a platform and further carries out in-depth legislative cooperation with the Provincial Department of Justice, and gives full play to the discipline's advantages in special research on administrative legislation, legislative planning, legislative drafting, legislative demonstration, post-legislative evaluation, filing review, etc., to provide legal guarantees for better promoting the transformation and development of Shanxi Province."Yang Jianhua said that in addition to actively participating in administrative legislative consulting, the teachers of the Law Department of the Court also actively serve as legal counsel for party and government organs such as the Shanxi Provincial People's Government, the Provincial Department of Education, and many state-owned enterprises and institutions, serving as expert consultants of the Taiyuan Intermediate People's Court, people's jurors and special supervisors of the provincial grassroots courts, and the head of the relevant research association of the Shanxi Law Society. How can
further strengthen the faculty? Yang Jianhua said that the Law Department of the Court will further increase the efforts to attract talents in the future, and plans to introduce 3-6 outstanding young doctors in law within three years , hire well-known domestic legal scholars to serve as full-time or part-time professors, inherit and carry forward the "teacher-admission system", and old teachers serve as the mentors of young teachers, play the role of "transmission and help" to guide young teachers to grow rapidly, and further optimize the teaching structure of the law department. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to visit high-level universities at home and abroad, young doctoral teachers are encouraged to go to postdoctoral mobile stations or postdoctoral workstations to engage in postdoctoral research on the job, support and encourage teachers to actively participate in large-scale national academic conferences, and strive to improve the scientific research ability and academic level of the teacher team.
