Group 1 - Wang Qian, a master's student from Shandong University, became the first student to obtain a master's degree based on practical achievements instead of a thesis [1] - Wang's practical work involved developing a bonding process for aspheric resin optical lenses used in VR glasses during her internship at GoerTek, which is expected to reduce unit costs by over 30% and significantly increase production capacity [1] - The achievement reflects a breakthrough in the evaluation reform of engineering master's and doctoral degrees in China, emphasizing practical results alongside traditional thesis defenses [1] Group 2 - Shandong University has been implementing a reform in the training of engineering master's and doctoral students, adopting a "work-study alternation" model since being selected as a pilot for the reform in 2022 [2] - The university's approach includes collaboration with industry mentors, allowing students to focus on real-world problems and needs, as demonstrated by Wang's project on lens precision bonding technology [2] - The institution has established a new evaluation system for graduate achievements based on engineering contributions, moving away from the sole reliance on thesis submissions for degree conferral [2]
