新工科背景下高校生物安全人才培养体系建设

Developing biosecurity training program under the background of new engineering education in colleges and universities

摘要:

近年来，全球生物安全形势日趋严峻，重大传染病疫情、生物技术误用和谬用、生物武器等生物安全威胁不断显现，生物安全已跃升为我国国家安全的重要组成部分；而与此同时，生物安全作为一门新兴的交叉型学科，其教育体系的建立与完善还处于起步阶段。受国内外生物安全形势、生物安全产业发展以及国家安全学学科设立的影响，凸显了我国在生物安全这一交叉领域的人才储备的短板和不足。尤其在新工科建设背景下，更加显现出生物安全人才培养的重要性。本文根据作者在实际教学中的经验，从建立交叉融合课程体系、构建创新性教学模式、探索通识教育改革方案和完善持续改进机制等几个方面，系统介绍了新工科背景下完善生物安全领域人才体系的具体措施。

Abstract:

The global biosecurity situation has become increasingly severe in recent years. The threats from outbreaks of epidemics, misuse and abuse of biotechnology, biological weapons and so on are emerging, which make biosecurity an important part of national security. Meanwhile, as a new interdisciplinary program, the education for biosecurity is still in its infancy. The challenges of domestic and international biosecurity and the quick development of biosecurity industry necessitate the establishment of security disciplines, which expose the deficiencies of talent pool in the interdisciplinary field involving biosecurity in China. Especially under the background of new engineering education, the importance of biosecurity training program has become more obvious than before. On the basis of our teaching experience, we systemically introduced the specific measures to improve the training system of biosecurity in the context of new engineering education, such as establishing an integrated curriculum system, constructing innovative teaching modes, exploring general education reform plans, and perfecting continuous improvement mechanisms.
