On July 3, 2025, Wang Haixiao, Deputy Secretary of the School of Management, and Bai Jie, Employment Supervisor, led 19 students from the practical team “Tracing the Spirit of National Defense Industry, Forging the Path of Chief Engineer” to visit SI‑TECH Beijing Information Technology Co., Ltd. In-depth corporate visits, the unveiling of a university-enterprise cooperation project, and face-to-face exchanges were held to further promote deep collaboration between the university and the enterprise.

Sun Hao, Rotating CEO & General Manager of ODT System, Rao Yan, Director of Talent Development, Peng Fan, General Manager of SI‑TECH Beijing Unicom Branch, and other leaders warmly received the teachers and students.

The team first visited the exhibition hall on the ground floor of SI‑TECH. Guided by the intelligent robot “Xiao Si”, the students systematically learned about the company’s development history and core businesses.

From the dynamic operation of the “Jiusi Zhirong” large model platform, to the sophisticated construction of smart city architecture, and to the innovative application of data elements, SI‑TECH’s technological breakthroughs in cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Everything are remarkable.

Witnessed by teachers, students and corporate executives, the “Employment and Education Program of Northwestern Polytechnical University & SI‑TECH” was officially inaugurated.

Sun Hao, Rotating CEO of SI‑TECH, noted that as a “Cradle of Chief Engineers”, NPU cultivates talents with both technical depth and strong patriotism, which highly matches the corporate culture. He expressed hope that the cooperation would help more students become interdisciplinary talents who “master coding and understand national needs”.

Wang Haixiao, Deputy Secretary of the School of Management, emphasized that the program serves as a key link connecting university education with industrial demands, injecting practical vitality into the cultivation of “chief engineer‑oriented talents”.

After the unveiling ceremony, Sun Hao, Rao Yan, Wang Haixiao and Bai Jie held a special seminar in a parallel venue to discuss the detailed implementation of the employment and education program.

In the main venue, Peng Fan, General Manager of SI‑TECH Beijing Unicom Branch, and Zhou Weihua, outstanding NPU alumnus and Principal Engineer, held a discussion with the team.

Peng Fan shared valuable career experience based on his own growth path and the company’s cultural core of “Three Values”. He encouraged students:

Zhou Weihua, as a senior alumnus, focused his sharing on “skill upgrading” and “thinking transformation”.

This activity is not only a solid practice of university‑enterprise collaborative education and enterprise visit for job expansion, but also an in-depth integration of digital technology and the chief engineer spirit.

It guided more students to accurately anchor their life goals with national development, forge ahead with the commitment that “I must contribute to success” and the pride of “forging tools for the country”, and grow into outstanding chief engineer‑oriented talents who shoulder the mission of national rejuvenation as soon as possible.

The “Visit to Renowned Enterprises” series of the School of Management aims to help students establish a comprehensive understanding of management practices in leading domestic enterprises, broaden their horizons, integrate knowledge with practice, clarify career directions, and support the cultivation of top innovative chief engineer‑oriented talents in management.
