He emphasized that as the "Cradle of Chief Engineers", NPU shoulders the historical mission of "cultivating pillars of the nation and forging strategic weapons of the country". Adhering to the principle of educating people for the Party and the country, the university has formed a distinctive independent training model for national defense science and technology talents.

Social evaluation and practical verification have provided fertile soil for the birth of this culture, while the constant refinement and upgrading of educational philosophy constitute its theoretical sublimation.

Students raised questions on how to integrate the "Chief Engineer Culture for Talent Cultivation" into daily study and the practice of management disciplines.

He encouraged students to internalize and practice the culture, deeply understand its connotation, solidify their professional foundation, actively participate in practical activities, attach importance to teamwork, set ambitious goals, and become future leaders and contributors to society.
