To encourage students to innovate and actively participate in energy saving and emission reduction, Shenzhen Technology University (SZTU) held the 1st Social Practice and Science Contest on Energy Saving & Emission Reduction on May 7. 1 first prize, 2 second prizes and 3 third prizes were awarded based on students’ online presentations. Teachers from College of New Materials and New Energies served as the judges, including Associate Prof. Zhang Wang, Associate Prof. Hu Yunfei, Associate Prof. Tang Zeguo, Associate Researcher Yang Tao, and Assistant Prof. Lin Tao.
Under the theme of Energy Conservation, Emission Reduction, and Green Energy, the contest advocates students to conduct in-depth social investigations, discover new ways to save energy and protect the environment, think innovatively, and patent the projects.
The National Social Practice and Science Contest on Energy Saving & Emission Reduction (hereinafter referred to as the Contest) is an important science and technology innovation contest for college students organized by Department of Higher Education of Ministry of Education, which coincides with the national policies of energy conservation and emission reduction. Since it was held at Zhejiang University in 2008 for the first time, the Contest received thousands of works made by tens of thousands of participants from hundreds of colleges and universities each year. The cumulative number of schools participating in the Contest reached over 2,500.
The 13th Contest will be held at Chongqing University in 2020. The school-level contest started in November 2019 at SZTU, aiming at selecting excellent works to participate in the national contest. A total of 20 projects were submitted, and 10 of them were valid, covering science and technology (9 projects) and social practice (1 project). Each team displayed the powerpoint and project at the online review session to introduce the background information, technical solutions, effectiveness, innovation points and application values. Finally, six projects stood out and won the awards.
