In 2014,we stuck tightly to the three basic elements of college development, student, scholar and learning by defining that student is the basis for establishing a university, scholar the essence and learning the soul. We restructured the training plan of undergraduate, strengthened the construction of major core courses in order to improve the talent-training quality. The first undergraduate teaching evaluation conducted in HUST helped us realize our strengths and weaknesses, pinpointing our direction to further efforts. The first” ChuangQingchun” --National University Student Entrepreneur Competition-- was held in HUST where HUSTers won the 5 gold prizes for championship. 2014 has witnessed more and more HUSTers achieving outstanding results in a serious of domestic and international competitions.
