With the rapid development of society and technology, the chemical industry has higher and higher requirements for engineering and technical personnel. The innovation ability of engineering and technical personnel is concentrated in the ability to create new technological achievements in engineering practice activities, including the research and development of new products and new technologies, the design of new processes and new devices, and the operation and operation plans of new factory production processes.

In order to cultivate the innovative thinking and engineering skills of college students in various aspects, cultivate the spirit of teamwork, enhance the engineering design and practical ability of college students, and practice the "Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program", the China Chemical Engineering Society and the China Chemical Education Association hold the National Chemical Engineering Design Competition for College Students. This competition is a professional competition for chemical engineering college students with extensive influence in China. The competition is divided into two stages: the preliminaries of the competition area and the national finals. There are seven competition areas of Northeast China, North China, East China, Central China, South China, Northwest China, and Southwest China to select outstanding teams to participate in the national finals. So far, it has been successfully held for 14 times. The 2021 "Hangzhou Apogee Cup" 15th National College Students Chemical Design Competition South China Finals will be hosted by Xiangtan University and named by Hangzhou Apogee Technology Co., Ltd. Affected by the epidemic, the online competition mode is adopted. A total of 219 teams from 61 colleges and universities in this South China competition signed up for the competition and successfully submitted their entries. After undergoing special online evaluations such as document design, engineering drawing, and application of modern design methods, 60 teams were selected to advance to the finals of the competition area. The participating students and guidance There are nearly 500 teachers.

On the morning of August 4, 2021, the 2021 "Hangzhou Apogee Cup" 15th National College Students Chemical Design Competition South China Division Finals kicked off at Xiangtan University. Vice President of Xiangtan University Yu Zuzuo, Secretary of the South China Division of the National Undergraduate Chemical Design Competition Chang Jin Yisu delivered the opening speech.

The title sponsor Hangzhou Apogee Technology Co., Ltd. attended the opening and closing ceremonies of the competition. Chairman Ge Ming delivered a speech and said: Apogee Technology is willing to work with universities to help China's manufacturing talents training and ability and quality improvement, promote Chemical engineering teaching reform and innovation. And look forward to in-depth school-enterprise cooperation with various universities to achieve high-quality employment and help the chemical industry take off. In 2021, the 15th "Hangzhou Apogee Cup" 15th National College Students Chemical Engineering Design Competition in South China Division ended successfully with the support and efforts of all parties. In this competition, Xiangtan University, Hunan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Institute of Petrochemical Technology , 10 teams including Central South University and Xiamen University advanced to the national finals.

Through this competition, the students not only systematically integrated and improved their professional knowledge, such as chemical principles, chemical reaction engineering, chemical separation engineering, chemical thermodynamics, etc., but also exercised their engineering practice ability and cultivated their process design concepts. Especially the innovative thinking ability in new technology, new equipment, energy saving and consumption reduction has played a positive role in the cultivation of students' teamwork spirit, hard work and perseverance.

In order to cultivate the innovative thinking and engineering skills of college students in various aspects, cultivate the spirit of teamwork, and enhance the engineering design and practical ability of college students, Apogee Technology, as a provider of smart factory solutions, has launched an assembleable teaching method for the education industry market. Simulation equipment - DeskPlant® desktop building block chemical plant series products.

With the help of visual impact, real touch, intelligent mini-operable hardware devices, combined with high-precision dynamic process simulation computing technology, this product vividly restores the process production process of a real factory on a small desktop. At the same time, this series of products takes into account the knowledge of process principles and the experience of real construction and operation in the teaching process. The process devices can be freely placed and combined like building blocks, and the dynamic changes of process parameters can be displayed in real time through the linkage between the process device and the tablet computer, helping teachers. And students can better teach and learn the principle of technology in the process of teaching and experiment, so as to make teaching easier and knowledge more intuitive.
