This project closely aligns with industry demands and trends, demonstrating both academic innovation and practical applicability. It fully showcases the ability to solve real-world problems and reflects the solid professional foundation and innovative thinking of TU professional degree postgraduates.

In recent years, the university has adhered to the fundamental task of fostering virtue and cultivating talents, focusing on the training orientation of professional degree postgraduates.
