Junxin has a habit when giving academic lectures. Others will always tell the organizer what they are talking about before they give a speech. However, Junxin has always improvised and most of the content he tells is new, and he never repeats the content of his academic lectures unless there is a special request.

This is clearly the case with this speech. In fact, whether it is systems engineering, reverse engineering, or parallel engineering just proposed by Junxin, there are specific examples in the history of human development, and the difference is only whether a complete academic system has been formed.

Systematic engineering really came to the forefront of the world after mankind entered the industrial revolution. Due to the abundance of power machines, traditional craftsmen gradually transitioned to engineers, thus promoting the systematic development of engineering. Up to now, engineering has unconsciously developed and become a systematic discipline.

In the university, there are many major classified subjects such as arts, science, engineering, business, medicine, etc., and the degree certificates issued at the time of graduation are classified into engineering and science according to engineering or science. Take biology as an example, there is no difference between biotechnology and bioengineering, in fact, there is no difference in the curriculum or the focus of the professors, but when biotechnology students graduate, their degree is a bachelor of science. Bioengineering, on the other hand, has a bachelor's degree in engineering.

For the last of the three major engineering disciplines, Junxin's understanding of it is far above those who have not yet been exposed to parallel engineering. Therefore, Junxin is very calm and calm, and talks eloquently in the questioning or admiring eyes of these people. Then, calmly answering some questions raised by the teachers and students present, he ended the academic lecture happily, leaving the teachers and students of Columbia University who were confused and felt very confused.

"What is concurrent engineering for?" In a luxurious meeting room, Jun Xin sat with several professors from Columbia University, and Professor Wu Chien-shiung, who was accompanying him, asked with a smile.

"Parallel engineering was actually in formal use before I came up with the concept. And there are many use cases. To take the simplest example, China's aerospace program is actually a concrete application of concurrent engineering. Junxin replied, "Concurrent engineering requires a pre-evaluation of the product or purpose, and unlike systems engineering, it emphasizes more on the synchronization of products. In fact, there have been examples of this in our country for a long time. For example, China's aerospace project, two bombs and one satellite project, and so on, all actually contain the concept of parallel engineering. ”

The people sitting here are all people whose IQ is above ordinary people, and Junxin just explained it a little simply, and they already understood the meaning of Junxin's words.

"I thought you were just a scientist with extraordinary abilities, but I didn't expect you to have a high level of attainment in engineering. Completely put forward the concept of parallel engineering, you can be regarded as the founder of the sect, right? Wu Dayou said with a smile.

"It's just a concept, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up theoretical research on this aspect, and it's still very early to start a sect!" Junxin shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, after all, I am a student of Mizuki University, and the engineering department of Mizuki University has always been the strongest in China, if I don't know anything about engineering, then my alma mater will be disappointed in me!" ”

"The engineering department of Mizuki University was built by Gu Lao back then, right?" Wu Chien-shiung asked.

"I don't know much about the history of this area, but the science department was founded by Professor Ye Qisun, and Gu Lao and Professor Ye were the deans of the engineering and science colleges of Mizuki University, so it's good to think about it."

"Indeed!" Wu Dayou said nostalgically, "Speaking of which, even I'm their student!" There was a saying in BJ City back then, Peking University is old, the teacher is poor, and only water and wood can be accommodated. At that time in China, only Mizuki University's funds for the refund of Gengzi's indemnity were truly strong enough to establish money-burning departments such as engineering and science. At that time, Gu Lao was the dean of the Faculty of Engineering of Mizuki University. ”

"By the way, Xiaojun, do you plan to stay at Mizuki University all the time after returning to China?" Wu Dayou suddenly asked.

"If nothing else, it should be at Mizuki University!" Junxin nodded, "Professor Hu told me to go back when I hadn't finished my doctoral dissertation defense, and Mizuki University had promoted me to a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and an associate professor a year later. Although the conditions are not very good, for those of us who study mathematics, it is the same everywhere! ”

"It's a bit low in terms of what you've achieved so far."

"I'm only nineteen, so I'm not in a hurry." Junxin shook his head with a smile and said, "What's more, this year is the year of the Fields Medal, in fact, I estimate that it is very likely that I will probably become a full professor at Mizuki University before I am twenty years old, but now the Chinese representative of the International Congress of Mathematicians is still Taiwan, because of some political reasons, I will not necessarily attend." However, Professor Yau Chengtong has no problem this time. ”

"He's really fine!" Professor Yang Zhenning said, "Just like my Yang Mi equation, his Calabi conjecture is also the standard. ”

"In topology, he's really world-class."

A few people chatted in the room, sometimes discussing academically, sometimes discussing the current situation, sometimes involving future development plans, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Mr. Wu, Professor Stell, the chairman of the Columbia University Professors' Association, and his assistant have come to visit and want to meet Mr. Jun."

"Let him in!" Wu Dayou commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Soon after the servant withdrew, he brought in an old man who was over the age of six, but in good spirits, who was none other than Professor Stell, the chairman of the Professors' Association, whom he had met at Columbia not long ago.

The eight Ivy League schools all have professors' associations, and the difference is only in the size of the power. Harvard's president, while Yale's professors' council is the master, are two extremes, and other schools balance the powers of the president and the professors' council. Columbia University's Professors Association is in charge of all aspects of the school's education, including staff hiring, professor hiring, and so on. The Principal is in charge of the school's finances, and the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing it.

"Dr. Jun, this time I'm here for you." After a period of pleasantries, Professor Stehr spoke, "With the unanimous entrustment of the members of the Faculty Council, we hope that you will join Columbia University as a visiting professor at Columbia University. ”

"But I'm going to go back home!" Junxin frowned slightly, he was not good at dealing with these things.

"We've heard this from President William, so we're just inviting you to come as a visiting professor, it's just a seat of honor, and I hope you'll agree!"

Junxin fell into deep thought for a while.
