"Yi Tangshan, Lingxiu Zhong, our college has a strong reputation. Indoctrination of culture and transportation... It is necessary to be honest, diligent and simple, firm, and earnest. The literary and rail car and book Zhi Datong." With the melodious melody of the school song of Southwest Jiaotong University, this well-known and powerful school in the field of rail transit has ushered in a new development opportunity.
Southwest Jiaotong University was founded in 1896 and originated from "Shanhaiguan Beiyang Railway Official School ". It is known as "Oriental Cornell" and has cultivated a large number of high-level talents for the construction of world rail transit. At the turn of the century, China's higher education has once again reformed the management system. Southwest Jiaotong University, the former leading university of the Ministry of Railways, faced the situation where Sichuan Province had no road universities after it was separated from Sichuan and Chongqing after it was transferred to the Ministry of Education.
To break this situation, Qiu Yanjun and his team rely on the traditional advantages of the rail transit discipline of Southwest Jiaotong University, and at the same time firmly follow the internationalization path. After more than 20 years of hard work, they have embarked on a successful path of training high-level talents across industries.

Strategic choice-Create a path of academic community that is "from the outside to the inside"
The light of truth illuminates the move forward. The team led by Qiu Yanjun has attached great importance to the leading role of strategic ideas since the beginning of construction, and guided the cultivation of high-quality talents through the construction of subject connotation. After years of persistence, it has achieved outstanding results. Relying on the support of various projects in the country, Sichuan Province and the school, they systematically sorted out the discipline connotation of the first-level disciplines of transportation engineering and the second-level disciplines of road and railway engineering, and analyzed the methods of expanding discipline growth points of industry disciplines;
combined with the Chinese higher education reform project, studied the successful path of the development of discipline agglomeration groups in late-developing countries, closely combined internationalization and localization, and embarked on a "outside-in" academic community that first created an international reputation and then established its domestic status.
From the outside to the inside, and both the outside and the inside are cultivated. The two aspects complement each other and have laid the theoretical foundation for the cultivation of road engineering talents.
Qiu Yanjun and his team concluded through comparison that the characteristics and advantages of road engineering compared to railway engineering are that the scale and quality of road engineering talent training in famous European and American universities still have leading advantages and exemplary roles, including advanced experimental equipment, strong academic discourse power, a globally prestigious tutor group and leading discipline direction.
Learn from the best skills to improve yourself. The team has joined the Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education and the National Road Engineering Branch through the two stages of "outside-in" leap path of "something-in" in the two stages of "something-in" training of teachers abroad and students coming to China, and has successfully formed a subject's influence, laying a brand foundation for ensuring the high-quality training of graduate students.
Practical Action - "From the inside out" to promote talent training brand building
"Knowing but not doing it, it's just unknown, action is better than words." A major feature of Qiu Yanjun and his team is that they have accumulated strong action power through years of tempering. According to the research on the first-level disciplines of transportation engineering and the second-level disciplines of road and railway engineering, they chose practical strategic fulcrums and acted quickly on the basis of ensuring the high-starting point of discipline growth and high-quality development of graduate students.
"The difficult things in the world must be done in the easy; the great things in the world must be done in the details." Adhering to this concept, the team project team "has both high starting point requirements and down-to-earth actions". At the historical moment when facing the huge challenges of the growth points of external disciplines in industry universities, with a high degree of love and sincerity for the discipline, the roadbed project that is relatively easy to enter and has external resources is selected as a strategic fulcrum from the symbiotic discipline direction of road engineering and railway engineering.
Starting from Guangbei Road at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the team achieved the first phase of the goal path of "cutting from the roadbed and cutting from the road surface" and "cutting from the inside out".Afterwards, they successfully applied for the National Natural Science Foundation of China based on the research needs of railway asphalt concrete . With the help of this project implementation, they accumulated experience in pavement asphalt concrete, laying the innovative foundation for the subsequent application of the asphalt pavement National Natural Science Foundation of China project, forming the second stage of "cutting from the railway and cutting from the highway" target path, which is also "inside out". The two-stage scenario application capability action has greatly promoted the brand building of discipline road engineering talent training.

"Although things are difficult, you will succeed; although the road is long, you will arrive." The development of the discipline of road engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University has faced many setbacks and difficulties to this day.
As a new discipline, it began to be built after the school was transferred to the Ministry of Education, and does not have the strong resource capabilities of traditional advantageous disciplines, especially rail transit disciplines. Qiu Yanjun and his team broaden their thinking, give full play to the added value of the discipline, actively participate in the construction of national key disciplines, and obtain talent training resources through their discipline contributions.
They have accumulated talent training resources through scientific research, including industry resources, interpersonal resources and international resources required for students' high-quality employment, greatly improving the resource capabilities of road engineering talents training.
Relying on the first phase of the "211", the discipline team has added road engineering directions in the civil engineering major to cultivate high-quality students in road engineering graduates; relying on the Western Science and Technology Project of the Ministry of Transport, the former Ministry of Railways' High-speed Railway Reinnovation Project, the National Natural Science Foundation and international cooperation projects, it provides abundant resources and a high-quality international environment for talent training.
The model of scientific research leading talent innovation has greatly promoted the brand building and professional construction of road engineering. Qiu Yanjun and his team also took advantage of the victory and successfully applied for the major of road bridges and river crossing with the road engineering team as the core, attracting many postdoctoral franchises from famous road schools, thus forming a complete "undergraduate-master-doctoral-doctoral-postdoctoral" talent training system for road engineering.
Through research and experience, Qiu Yanjun and his team have taken a unique approach and embarked on a unique path of innovation in talent cultivation.
Teaching and learning - the construction of high-quality international faculty helps moisten the silent
In the process of high-quality graduate training, the road engineering discipline of Southwest Jiaotong University vividly confirms the unique role of "teaching and learning" in the construction of discipline growth points of non-traditional disciplines in industry-based universities.
Teaching and mutual learning is first reflected in the feedback effect of the high-quality requirements of talent cultivation on teachers' abilities, and the continuous construction of teachers' abilities is reflected in the continuous improvement of graduate students' abilities.
For example, Southwest Jiaotong University's requirement for doctoral students to publish high-quality papers in international journals has prompted Qiu Yanjun and his team to accelerate the internationalization of teachers, send key teachers to overseas study abroad, and improve teachers' international paper writing ability. With the improvement of the international publishing ability of the team teachers and the continuous introduction of young talents from famous European and American universities, a number of research results have been published in high-level international academic journals, which has greatly enhanced the international influence and academic discourse power of the discipline. The team also cultivates international students to China to give full play to the comparative advantages of international students in the use of English, accelerates the publication of international papers, and also promotes the improvement of relevant abilities of domestic teachers and students in the discipline of road engineering.
Another example, the team has also comprehensively promoted the construction of course ideological and political , built a pattern of ideological and political education for the National People's Congress, and created a team of ideological and political teachers with strong political qualities, superb professional abilities, superb education level, and a clear sense of discipline and excellent style, thus realizing the ideological and political integration classroom and moistening things silently.
After more than 20 years of hardships, under the leadership of Qiu Yanjun, the road engineering research team of Southwest Jiaotong University has embarked on the advantages of the school's strong discipline platform, based on international talent training, moral education and people, and has embarked on an innovative path of high-level talent training. There is a long way to go in the future, only "indoing culture and raising transportation" and "written by the rails and carriages and books on Zhi Datong".
