Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"I won't talk about it today. I have been thinking about the method of scientific research evaluation, but I feel that there is too much content. I need to go back and sort it out, and then talk to some responsible professors." Wang Xu said casually, Today was a simple chemistry department review meeting, and he didn't want to overshadow it.

"Let's talk about it, if confidentiality is not involved. When you talk about scientific research evaluation, do you mean the review meeting model?" Professor Pang obviously did not intend to let Wang Xu go.

"Yes, there is nothing confidential. What do you think of this model of review meeting?" Wang Xu not only did not answer, but asked a question.

"Isn't that what we do now?" The answer was not Professor Pang, but the protagonist of today's defense, the discoverer of the polyethylene fiber technology. His attitude was obviously unhappy.

"That's right, I didn't mean to target this review. I also admire your achievements. The process that can significantly reduce production costs can be said to benefit the country and the people, and the future prospects are very good. My thoughts have nothing to do with your achievements. , is about the method of assessment itself.”

Wang Xu knew that this would happen, so he quickly explained it. After all, this is their home court. If you go to the appraisal meeting to find fault with the appraisal meeting, no one will be too satisfied if you are the master.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, the review meeting is over, let's just talk casually.

Even if we do this now, it doesn't mean that it's really good. I also think it's too subjective and lacks an objective evaluation mechanism. Wang Xu, do you have any good suggestions? "

Professor Pang smoothed things over with a smile. In the final analysis, he had the final say here, not to mention that Wang Xu didn't say anything wrong in the first place.

"Let's do a survey. We just said that the results are at the internationally advanced level. So each of us will write a note and write down what you think the definition of the internationally advanced level is, and then we will think about it."

After Wang Xu finished speaking, he took a few pieces of white paper from the side, folded it and cut it into a dozen small pieces, and distributed it not only to the professors present, but also to the students and teachers who were observing.

"Everyone should write it down. No name is required. I can say clearly that there is no national standard definition for this thing, so just write down the answer in your heart." Wang Xu handed out the note and stood in front of the stage. Certainly.

Everyone is deep in thought, and it is not easy for everyone to discuss it at this moment. They are all silently organizing vocabulary, trying to describe the definition of international advanced level in their minds.

After about ten minutes, Wang Xu saw that most people had stopped writing. Apparently everyone had written down their own opinions on this vocabulary, so he walked over and collected them one by one.

After collecting about twenty pieces of paper, Wang Xu didn't waste any time. He returned to the front and began to read aloud one by one.

"The results can be compared with similar products in the world. How and what?"

"The results can meet the performance indicators of similar products in the world. Performance, which performance? The highest performance or the lowest performance?"

"Internationally leading, well, this friend is concise and to the point. But are internationally leading and internationally advanced really the same?"

"You can publish international SCI papers. Using papers as targets is an interesting method."

"..."

Wang Xu read all the more than 20 notes, and soon everyone noticed the fact that among the more than 20 notes, few had the same answer.

Everyone seems to have an understanding of the international advanced level, but no two people have the same understanding of this thing.

"You see, there are professors, lecturers, and students here. There are judges and people being selected. We are all debating whether we should give an evaluation to the international advanced level, but we don't even have a basic definition. If the law is consistent, that is what the international advanced level is."

Wang Xu explained his point of view with rare seriousness. This was a very basic issue that he had always ignored.

Today's accidental rise was not only new to everyone, but also to Wang Xu himself. His act of sending a note writing a definition was completely impromptu.

Because he suddenly found that he could not define that conclusion. He clearly gave such an evaluation, but Wang Xu suddenly found that he had no idea what the evaluation meant.

He has always paid attention to the basics. He has been doing various basic research since he started making microphones, but suddenly he found that he seemed to have ignored the basics.

That is the definition. If you want to evaluate and give a rating, you must at least explain what your rating means.

These terms come from a guiding opinion issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 1986. However, few people have actually read that opinion draft carefully, and there is no definition of terms such as domestic leading and internationally advanced. .

The description "some indicators have reached the international advanced level" was temporarily invented during the implementation process. How can such an assessment draw a unified conclusion?

There are thousands of various chemical fiber products sold in the international market, ranging from polyethylene, polypropylene, polypropylene, aramid, and various polymer fibers. So with whom are the products we evaluate compared?

There is also a more core question, that is, what exactly is being reviewed at this appraisal meeting? Is it this paper? No, after all, thesis should be evaluated at the defense meeting.

Is it this polyethylene fiber? It doesn't seem to be the case. This kind of polyethylene fiber is already on the market, and the professor from the Department of Chemistry of Mizuki just made it.

Therefore, the core of the evaluation should be this new processing technology. But the problem is that the professors here do not know what the processing technology of the polyethylene fibers sold abroad is, so how to evaluate it?

This is the second question Wang Xu raised, that is, what exactly do we evaluate during the appraisal meeting? How should we compare this kind of technology that fills domestic gaps, who should we compare with, and which indicator should we compare with.

This long list of questions immediately confused all the professors present. Yes, that's how everyone evaluates it, but there seems to be nothing objective about the evaluation itself.

It’s not that there is no comparison, but the performance comparison with foreign products is also focused on the performance of the polyethylene fiber itself. Is it really appropriate to say that it is internationally advanced with similar performance?

As for the processing technology that should be evaluated, you don’t know what technology is used in foreign countries. How can you compare?

This appraisal meeting ended in a strange atmosphere, and every scholar who participated brought back a bunch of question marks.

The same goes for Wang Xu. He is not an expert in this field, and later generations do not have this knowledge. It is just that later generations no longer use the appraisal meeting when transforming scientific and technological achievements, but he does not really understand the new evaluation. Way.

But, haha, there was a core value in the 1990s, which was to cross the river by feeling the stones. What to do if you can't feel the stones? Feel the eagle sauce.

If you don’t know where to find the answer, then go to Chou Country. If you don’t know the answer even in Chou Country, then go to Chou Country’s military. They will definitely have research on you in these aspects.

Therefore, he simply wrote a letter of proposal, suggesting that China's science and technology evaluation standards should be re-established with reference to the military's science and technology evaluation system.

In this thing, he only wrote about hidden dangers, worries, questions, and possible answers, without even expressing a single word of his own opinions. Who knew he really didn't know how to do it?
