Private universities in the United States mainly rely on students' tuition fees to maintain the main expenses of the school, so the fees are not generally expensive. Lu Zheng didn't want to be the target of the public, he was ready to follow the crowd and maintain the status quo in terms of fees.

What he wants to do is to further reduce the teacher-student ratio, he wants to adjust the existing 1:25 to 1:10, adjust the average small class teaching ratio of undergraduates to 85%, and increase the scholarship system.

Therefore, what he needs to do is to continue to recruit teachers and adjust the proportion of small classes of less than 20 students to more than 85%. The number of undergraduate students recruited should be fine, not many, and perhaps we can consider controlling the number of undergraduate students.

After figuring out the direction, Lu Zheng called Thompson to go to Charris University with him, and he wanted to meet with the school's management and convey his opinion to them in person.

The president of Challis University, Edward Kalmaz, is a 45-year-old middle-aged uncle with meticulously combed blond hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his towering nose.

Lu Zheng not only conveyed to him the adjustment of the proportion of small classes and the adjustment of the number of students, but also the instructions that new teachers need to be re-recruited.

Edward and the school management were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and this series of operations was not just moving closer to the standards of Ivy League universities, and as a professional educator, he was more happy.

Edward introduced to Lu Zheng: "The school currently uses the same quarter system as most schools in California. ”

The so-called quarter system divides the year's courses into four seasons, such as spring, summer, autumn and winter, with one semester per quarter and two and a half months of study time per semester. In this way, each period is normally 10 to 12 weeks, and in the summer it is shorter, only 8 to 10 weeks. Under this system, new students are generally required to enroll in the summer and offer regular elective courses first.

One hour per week is one quarter of credits, and students are required to complete 14-18 quarters of credits per quarter, and if they want to apply for graduation, they need to complete a total of 180-192 quarters of credits.

Lu Zheng was not very interested in these, he explained to Edward: "This year, the school needs to recruit 20 students majoring in applied chemistry and fine chemistry, and the direction is cosmetics manufacturing and perfume making******* Dehua was stunned to help his eyes and legs, and finally said with difficulty: "BOSS, there is no problem with the basic course, but the school has no cooperation channels for cosmetics, especially perfume manufacturing." ”

Lu Zheng chuckled: "It's okay, I'm going to reserve some graduate places, and the professional researchers of G&C Company will be responsible for taking them when the time comes, and the main work is to develop perfumes and perfumes." ”

Edward was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's actually G&C, the luxury company that is popular all over Europe and the United States? ”

Lu Zheng nodded indifferently: "This is my first test to use the school as a talent training base for the group company." After speaking, he took a sip of the coffee prepared by the school, and continued: "The school also needs to open new majors in electronic circuit design and technology, computer science, software, materials science, chemical engineering, mechanics, and communication. ”

After he finished speaking, he saw Edward's thoughtful expression, and explained: "The electronic circuit design and technology major can recruit 140-160 people, and I plan to use it for the development and design of EOS mobile phones, and several other research institutes also need it. By the way, graduate students in this major can also recruit 20 people, and I will ask the mobile phone company to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with the school. ”

Edward didn't want to speak, but saw him move his pen like a fly, and he recorded Lu Zheng's requests one by one.

What Lu Zheng wants to do is to let the school and several major research institutes work together to carry forward the teaching and educating people, even if these students cannot be used for themselves, they will bring invisible benefits to themselves in the future.

Of course, even for graduate students in their own school, the core technology in the institute will not be so easy for them to know and master, unless a work agreement and confidentiality regulations are signed.

As for the teacher of electronic circuit design and technology, Lu Zheng asked Edward to contact Koizumi Shinichiro in the island country, since they are all their own enterprises and staff, it is completely necessary to work closely together, make reasonable use of resources, and maximize benefits.

In front of Edward, Lu Zheng made a phone call to Wang Dalong and asked him to come here to assist the school and prepare for the construction of the electronic library.

Wang Dalong received this call a little painfully, what is an electronic library?

But before he could ask, Lu Zheng hung up the phone, fortunately he heard the president of Charris University Edward clearly. Forget it, anyway, the things he explained are very profound, and it's rare to think about it, so it's better to ask him in person another day.

Edward couldn't help but want to ask: "There is an applied chemistry in front of me, why is there another chemical engineering major, do you know that the employment rate of chemical engineering majors is a mess." Students who graduate from this major either go to chemical factories or go on to graduate school. In short, the premise is not very good, let's not mislead people's children!"

Lu Zheng laughed and said: "Don't worry, the main direction of chemical engineering and materials science will be batteries, and I am going to put them in my battery research institute." How many people are recruited in these two majors, don't be afraid of more. ”

"In addition, there are many computer and software majors, and I have at least 5,000 positions left. There is also a shortage of mechanics and communications majors, and the quality of students in these two majors is a little higher, and the scores are set a little higher, after all, I am going to use them for Gulfstream Aircraft. ”

After Edward listened to Lu Zheng, he completely understood that this was completely about cultivating talents for his company. So what's the problem, even if it is, then the allocation of teachers must not be sloppy.

If you can take the students to his company for a field visit during the teaching period, and let the researchers answer the students' questions on the spot, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

He is as stable as an old dog after this operation!

Edward felt the need to look at the young man in front of him again, seeing that he was about 20 years old, but he gave people a sense of calm and profoundness, which he couldn't see through! Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly.

Lu Zheng gave Thompson a look, and the latter understood, coughed lightly and said, "Principal Edward, from tomorrow onwards, our company's audit department will make an inventory of the school's finances. After the completion of this work, the company will continue to inject one billion euros into the university as a special fund for the construction of the university's key laboratory. Since it is a university, on the basis of focusing on basic disciplines, it is the right way to increase efforts to catch up with the scientific research capabilities of the Ivy League, so the company decided to make a big bet and strive to produce scientific research results as soon as possible. ”
