On April 22, 2020, with a burst of cheers, the world champion of the 14th Simulated Steelmaking Challenge was settled. “Chongqing University of Science and Technology!” This is the second time for Jamaicans Escort students from Chongqing University of Science and Technology to participate in more than 1,500 teams from more than 50 countries around the world. The team fought through the siege and went through many hardships to win the championship trophy. Chongqing University of Science and Technology has thus become the only university in the world that has entered the finals of this event for six consecutive years and won the world championship twice.

And this world reputation also sets a new height for the quality of Chongqing University of Science and Technology’s talent training tools. But few people know that behind the world championship lies the selfless dedication and hard work of a heavy science teacher. She is the sixth advanced worker of Chongqing City, a teacher of the School of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering of Chongqing University of Science and Technology, and a branch of the Metallurgical Engineering Teaching Labor Party. Zhang Qianying, deputy secretary, team leader of the school steelmaking competition, and representative of the Sixth Chongqing Party Congress.
Participating in the competition is a time-consuming and labor-intensive “big project”
The World Steelmaking Simulation Challenge is the only Jamaica Sugar international simulation in the steel and metallurgical industry held by the World Steel Association Smelting skills competition. In 2011, with the idea of helping students improve their engineering execution capabilities, Zhang Qianying stepped onto the stage of the World Simulated Steelmaking Challenge. Before that, Chongqing University of Science and Technology had been blank in this project. Zhang Qianying, however, devoted herself wholeheartedly to what others saw as an almost crazy competition.
Jamaicans Escort This competition starts at the school level in September every year, registration and preliminary training; then promotion through school-level competitionsThe preliminaries training team is formed, followed by a month and a half of preliminaries training, until the high-intensity 24-hour World Simulation Steelmaking Challenge preliminaries at the end of November each year. After passing the world finals standard, higher-intensity training begins, and finally The World Finals will be held in April of the following year. For eight consecutive months, Zhang Qianying personally took charge of the entire journey.
Zhang Qianying has stayed in this competition, which is recognized as a rigid and difficult process, for 11 years, regardless of whether it is cold or hot, regardless of weekends. She trained a fledgling veteran into a national champion and a world champion.
In Zhang Qianying’s view, she and the participating students faced difficulties together and worked together to solve the problems. The students’ innovation ability, project execution ability, problem-solving ability, and teamwork ability were all outstanding. Continuously strengthening. This is a very interesting thing and the source of motivation for her work. There are often cases in her team where some students are not proactive enough in their studies and even fail or repeat a grade. Under Zhang Qianying’s initiative, they joined the steelmaking competition team and were infected by the team atmosphere. , attracted by the charm of competition, the most basic changes took place, and began to actively study and specialize in knowledge, and brought such a positive and diligent state into other studies and work.
Participation is a comprehensive test of a player’s talent
The competition requires contestants to discover the smelting method of a new steel type within 24 hours and successfully simulate the smelting method at the lowest cost, which is full of challenges for undergraduates. Every year, Zhang Qianying tirelessly leads the students to review the key points and difficulties of knowledge over and over again. Jamaicans Sugardaddy is piled with papers on her desk. Bad notes and imitation manual; every Jamaica Sugar Daddy year, Zhang Qianying leads the students to explore imitation disciplines over and over again without complaint, and documents There are countless statistical tables and process flow charts in the folder; every year, Zhang Qianying takes the lead in setting an example, working 24 hours a day, instructing the participating teams to divide work and cooperate together, and encourage the team members to pursue the ultimate.
Such stories often appear in Zhang Qianying’s team – the 2017 China champion Zeng Zhaopeng refreshed 1,500 times and completed 150 furnaces of smelting in 24 hours and 1,440 minutes. If the average furnace time is 5 minutes, 150 furnaces will take 12.5 hours. And every furnaceThe 5 minutes of smelting requires concentration, and even a half-second error in the tapping time will lead to errors. After so many innovations and so many smeltings, only 44 furnaces were successful, and what was pursued was only the perfection of that furnace. It is precisely because of such persevering teachers that there are so many students who are constantly improving, and champions come out of the team one after another.
Participation is a rethinking of talent cultivation
Facing a new round of technological revolution and industrial changes, changes in the steel industry are also imminent. Not only that, steel metallurgical molten steel is at the forefront of the battle to reach carbon peak and become carbon neutral. How to cultivate application-oriented talents who adapt to the development of the new era and eliminate the gap between industry and education has become an important task for undergraduate education in recent years.
Zhang Qianying has effectively improved students’ innovation ability, engineering execution ability and problem-solving ability to a certain extent by organizing and covering all professional student competitions. It has solved the problem of the gap between the quality of talent training tools and social needs, and has been unanimously recognized by steel companies. Baosteel Co., Ltd., HBIS Group Handan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Dagang Group, and Guigang Iron and Steel Group all send young employees here for transportation and further study. With the help of Zhang Qianying, HBIS Group Handan Iron and Steel Company was re-elected as the world champion of the enterprise group of the World Simulation Steelmaking Challenge for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018.
The Midas touch turns stone into gold, cultivating talents, and building pillars through hard work. Over the past 11 years, under the leadership of Zhang Qianying, the participation level of the Chongqing University of Science and Technology Simulation Steelmaking Challenge has remained at the top level in the world, allowing the technical strength of Chinese youth to shine in the world’s top events. In 2019, Zhang Qianying was awarded the title of “Outstanding Leadership Teacher” by the World Steel Association. Zhang Qianying has made the World Simulated Steelmaking Challenge, a major academic event, a highlight and feature of Chongqing University of Science and Technology’s academic strength and educational achievements. It has cultivated talents for steel companies, added honor to the school, and contributed to the country and the country. Chongqing has won world reputation.
