Beilin University absorbed a part of Shi Jing University's agriculture and forestry major and Tsinghua University's horticulture major, and also inherited the excellent academic atmosphere of the two universities. As a national key university, Beilin College is one of the first universities to enter the "2 1 1" key construction project, and is the vanguard of forestry colleges. There are 17 academicians in the forestry system, of whom 12 are from Beilin University.
Known as Beijing Forestry University, among its 56 undergraduate majors and directions, the specialty with characteristics and advantages is naturally inseparable from the word "Lin". Forestry, landscape architecture, horticulture, biological science, grassland science, wildlife and nature reserve management, soil and water conservation and desertification control, and environmental science can be summarized by three popular words: green, low carbon and environmental protection.
Professor Jiang Enlai, vice president, said that in order to manage mountains and water, we must know the water from the mountains in order to finally have beautiful mountains and rivers. Educating people by trees not only embodies Linda's professional characteristics, but also takes the meaning of "ten years of trees, a hundred years of people". Immersed in the green, Beilin people advocate nature, pursue truth, and are free and persistent. The method of bamboo and plum is strong-willed, loose and tall, and people become thick and simple; Accompanied by mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers are happy, and benevolent people have different opinions.
Being an adult forest means that you are willing to shoulder an unforgettable mission-to write a "paper" on the land of the motherland, so that no mountain is green, all the water is clear, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the earth is painted as painters.
Forestry college: mountains and rivers are partners, and nature is friends.
Walk into the experimental building where the Forestry College is located. In the lobby on the first floor, a huge desktop made of logs stands out. The desktop is nearly two meters wide, and the natural texture of the wood is clearly visible. You can imagine how tall and strong the tree was before it was cut down The material is Demiguyi Sumu, commonly known as Brazilian rosewood, which is a precious mahogany and was shipped from Xishuangbanna last year. Climbing the stairs, potted plants and stumps are scattered all over the floor, and the characteristics of forestry are clear at a glance.
In the key laboratory of the Ministry of Education of Forest Cultivation and Protection, several students are analyzing data in front of the computer, and all kinds of specimens, charts and photos are packed. The whole laboratory is filled with a strong academic atmosphere. On one side of the lighting incubator, there is a small note with detailed name, student number, training items and time. Open the gypsy moth incubator and you can see nearly ten Petri dishes, all of which are gypsy moth larvae. Zong, an associate professor at Forestry College, said that once this little black bug grows up, it will become a leaf-eating pest that is extremely harmful to trees. Recently, it has occurred frequently in Beijing, causing serious harm. Researchers are looking for ways to control its harm by measuring DNA, observing behavior and studying habits at different temperatures.
There are 15 laboratories like this in Forestry College, which can be used not only by graduate students, but also by undergraduates for scientific research projects and research. From the summer vacation of sophomore year, students of Forestry College should determine their tutors and enter the research project. 1 The tutor can bring up to 3 undergraduates, which is similar to the postgraduate treatment. The forestry major enrolls about 90 students every year, and there are 50 full-time teachers in pure forestry, which shows the level of teachers.
Professor Zhao Xiuhai, vice president of Forestry College, joked that forestry is a longevity major. From spring to autumn is a good season. For students majoring in forestry, field observation and practice experiments are like daily routine. During the summer vacation of freshmen, students will follow their teachers into the virgin forest, collect specimens, study vegetation evolution and practice excellent basic skills. The school has established ecological stations in Shanxi, Jiaohe, Jilin and other places, and undergraduates can use their holidays to conduct long-term investigation and research in the ecological stations. Students who have participated in field work, have strong scientific research ability and are familiar with practical links are very popular with institutions such as Peking University, Beijing Normal University and Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Mu Lin, deputy director of the School Admissions and Employment Department, graduated from Forestry College, majoring in forestry. She said that Forestry College is an incubator, and many existing majors of Beilin University, such as biological science, food science and engineering, environmental science, information management and information system, have developed independently from forestry majors.
Landscape Architecture Institute: From Searching for West Lake to "Green Harbor"
Zhang Xiao from Shenyang, Liaoning Province is a sophomore majoring in landscape architecture. Talking about this major, he said with a smile that this major is a combination of gardening and landscape architecture, and it is necessary to learn both landscape plants and landscape design. Compared with other schools, Beilin University has more specialized courses and more practical opportunities for students. He went to Xiangshan to recognize flowers and plants, climbed Jiu Feng to sketch, and went to the Summer Palace to experience the beauty of gardening ... such a vivid class, he liked it very much.
Liu Yao, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the School of Landscape Architecture of Beilin University, said that the School of Landscape Architecture currently has five undergraduate majors: landscape architecture, urban planning, gardening and tourism management. Landscape architecture and landscape architecture are popular specialties with distinctive features and profound connotations. In recent years, students majoring in landscape architecture have won numerous awards in international competitions and enjoyed a high reputation internationally.
Landscape design needs inspiration and understanding. Not every design work can become a reality, but the spark of inspiration from generate, the source of creativity, is equally precious. From the students' works hanging on the wall, we can not only find beauty, but also see their responsibility and mission to society: "Looking for the distant West Lake", exploring the possibility of the West Lake moving westward; "Safe box" studies the safe growth mode of children in traditional communities in Beijing; "Green Harbor" design is the windproof and shelter channel of green infrastructure ... Art works often swing between pleasure and practicality of aesthetic feeling, while garden design perfectly combines the two.
"Three Prides" of College of Biological Sciences and Technology
In line with the school's dominant disciplines, Beilin University's biological research also focuses on forest creatures such as Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Ginkgo biloba, golden monkey and giant panda. Zheng Caixia, vice president of the College, said that Beilin University has a digital microscopic interactive laboratory on the scale of the National Agriculture and Forestry College. Compared with the traditional laboratory, it is not only convenient for teachers to demonstrate in the whole class, but also can give one-on-one real-time guidance to students.
Different from the traditional experimental platform with only one microscope, each experimental platform of digital microscope interactive laboratory consists of a microscope, a voice system and a computer. There are 64 such "mix and match" devices in the whole laboratory. In class, the teacher doesn't have to walk back and forth. He sits on the platform and can switch screens with a mouse click, so he can see each student's experiments at any time. Laziness is no longer possible. Students can take photos or record videos of the experimental process. One-to-one communication between teachers and students and between students can be carried out at any time through the voice system. If the problems encountered by students are representative or the observed results are typical, the teacher can switch the images observed by students to the big screen and explain them in the whole class.
Walking into the aseptic tissue culture room, it happened that a group of undergraduates were in class. They are in groups of three or two, some are making sterile solutions, and some are putting cut plant materials into Petri dishes. Teacher Li, the head of the laboratory, said that plant tissue culture is one of the elective courses that all students like. Tissue culture is not a method of seed propagation, but a method of asexual rapid propagation, which uses some tissues or cells such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of plants to cultivate complete plants under suitable artificial conditions. This is of great significance to the protection of endangered plants.
The College of Biology of Beilin University also has a national biological science base, which enrolls students according to biological sciences and trains them in a unified way according to major categories. After the end of the school year, 30% of outstanding students will be selected to study in the base class, and 60% of the students in the base class can directly apply for graduate students.
The admission scores in previous years are of great reference value.
20 1 1, the school's overall enrollment plan in Beijing exceeds 350 people, which is divided into three parts: first, the unified enrollment plan has 284 people, including 236 in science, 44 in liberal arts and 4 in art, involving enrollment majors and professional directions 51; The second is to reserve 20 candidates for the two-volunteer unified recruitment plan, including science 15 and liberal arts 5. Candidates can choose all majors with enrollment plans in Beijing to fill in their professional volunteers, with a difference of more than 50 points. Ensure that candidates obey the professional adjustment, and the school selects the best candidates from high to low. The third is to reserve a special type of enrollment plan.
Mu Lin said that as long as the candidates who prefer to apply for Beilin University have undergone professional adjustment and the medical examination results meet the admission requirements, the school will not quit the file after the file transfer. Judging from the admission situation of Beijing Linda University in recent years, there are two main characteristics: First, the number of applicants is relatively stable, and the admission scores fluctuate little. For candidates, the admission scores of previous years are of great reference value. Second, there are many enrollment majors, and the admission scores of different majors have a certain gradient, which is conducive to candidates to fill in their professional volunteers.
Liang experimental class: one student and two tutors.
Pursuing Excellence is the choice of college students. Do you want to study under the guidance of a first-class tutor? Do you want to have a broader development space? Then come to the Liang experimental class of Beilin University! Of course, this is not easy.
"Liang Experimental Class" is named after Mr. Liang, a Chinese forester and educator. There are liberal arts classes and science classes, and each class only recruits 35 people. Liberal arts students are mainly selected from freshmen of School of Economics and Management, and science students are mainly selected from freshmen of Forestry College, Soil and Water Conservation College and Nature Reserve College. Freshmen from other institutions are eligible to apply only if they pass the exam.
After the registered freshmen pass the qualification examination, the experimental class management center will organize additional exams in subjects such as mathematics, English and chemistry, determine the list of interviewed students, and then organize experts to interview the students. Finally, the comprehensive written test, interview and college entrance examination results were selected.
In the first academic year of the experimental class, general courses and basic courses are taught regardless of specialty. In the third semester, students choose tutors and determine their majors according to their interests and specialties. The main courses in the experimental class are organized separately. There are many practical teaching links in the curriculum, focusing on the guidance and cultivation of students' self-study and scientific research ability. The tutorial system is implemented in the experimental class, and each class in the lower grades is equipped with a tutor to guide students in course selection and learning content and methods; Senior students are equipped with tutors according to their majors to guide the cultivation of students' scientific research ability and implement personalized training.
Students in the experimental class who have completed undergraduate credits and achieved excellent results can be given priority to study for a master's degree without taking the exam. Students who are recommended to our school can take master's courses in advance, and particularly outstanding students can also obtain the qualification to continue their master's and doctoral studies.
