类脑智能高层次人才培养模式改革与实践
Reform and Practice of High Level Talent Training Mode for Brain-Inspired Intelligence

类脑智能是生物医学工程学科的一个重要方向，目前已经上升为国际科技竞争的一个战略高地，迫切需要培养造就能解决疑难复杂类脑智能科学问题及其背后“卡脖子”技术问题的科研骨干和未来领军人才。然而，传统的生物医学工程–类脑智能人才培养模式还存在不足，影响到高层次研究生培养质量。本研究以类脑智能核心课程改革作为突破口，以高水平科研支撑研究生培养，构建了以科–教、赛–课、赛–研“三融合”为特征的类脑智能高层次人才培养新模式，塑造了一支“导学、导研、导赛”的“三导型”导师队伍，以加强“三融合”之间的贯通性，提高高层次、创新性人才培养质量。十多年的实践表明，“三融合”、“三导型”人才培养模式实现了学生学习内生动力和创新能力提高、工程实践能力增强以及就业前景好的良性循环，高层次人才培养质量改善显著。
Brain-inspired intelligence is an important direction in the subject of biomedical engineering, and at present, it has risen to a strategic highland of international technological competition. There is an urgent need to cultivate research backbones and future leading talents, who can solve difficult and complex brain-inspired intelligent scientific problems, as well as chokehold technical issues behind scientific problems. However, the traditional biomedical engineering—brain-inspired intelligence talent training mode still has shortcomings, which affects the quality of high-level graduate education. This study first takes the reform of core courses in the field of brain-inspired intelligence as a breakthrough point, and then supports the cultivation of graduate students through high-level scientific research. Finally, a new mode characterized by “three fusions” (science and education, competition and course, competition and research) for training high-level talents in the field of brain-inspired intelligence is constructed. A team of mentors who can synergistically supervise learning, research and competition is formed, named “three supervising” mentors, in order to enhance continuity among “three fusions” and improve the quality of training high-level and innovative talents. More than ten years of practice have shown that the talent training mode with “three fusions” and “three supervising” realizes a virtuous circle among the improved intrinsic motivation for learning and innovation capacity, enhanced engineering practice ability and good employment prospects. The quality of high-level talent cultivation has been significantly improved.
