Topic: China will bring up the Blockchain Engineering Bachelor. - page 2. (Read 289 times)

China was a leader at stealing US innovations and technology(they still are).Now,they are trying to be a leader in the field of technology innovations.They have the human resources-lots of hard working,willing to learn,goal driven and disciplined people,so they will succeed,I guess.
I assume that the Chinese want to prepare more programmers and blockchain developers for their central bank coin project.They aren't interested in Bitcoin and altcoins,which doesn't make me an optimist for this news.

Why is the scientific specialization of the certificate in engineering aspects?software or computer engineering? I used to think that Blockchain is more related/linked to economic aspects and has more benefits for financial systems compared to engineering development?

Even I have seen many scientific courses that link Blockchain and financial aspects, or it is about algorithms and programming languages?

In general, the trend is good, it seems that the job market has forced universities to add more relatively modern engineering sciences.

They have been interested in blockchain technology for a long time. But yes, this time looks more serious and appreciative to the people who work in blockchain technology. I assume it is a good sign that China has a great intention to support blockchain technology, possibly to Bitcoin and crypto as well. Well, let's hope this will trigger good moves in blockchain, crypto, and Bitcoin adoption.

China's university's are not vary world-famed. The few Chinese professors that were forward looking left early and aren't speaking very fondly of China's govt grip on power. I guess not many people would want a bachelor for blockchain in China. It would probably not even mention BTC in favor of some cryptocurrency created by Chinese government and that is centralized like NEO.

There are European universities offering unergrad and master level courses on the topic of blockchain since long ago too.

I hope other countries will also do this.


The key here is that the Minister of Education approved it. It is just a start. If it becomes successful, bigger and better universities may also offer it. And it also shows how open China has become in accepting Blockchain solutions. This move will have a great impact on the future of blockchain not only in China but the whole world.

Seems like China is really into blockchain technology and I admire them for doing that, They always impress me with the steps they are taking for the innovation.

I disagree on you for calling the said University "no-name university",I find it rude for calling an institution in that way. Upon visiting the reference link, it is CUIT that has been offering this and I can say that the University's achievement is great with technological stuffs although it is provincial University. But the animal cruel history on the university is also at large, however that is too far from main thing.

While it's cool that at least someone offers this, it's sad that it's not a good university. China's a powerful country, and they have high-quality higher education. But this university is such a no-name that it's even hard to find any info about it online. Okay, I get it, China is not big on the Internet, they have their own space for that. But it seems suspicious in any case that Google confuses it with other facilities, the website seems to be offline (if CUIT is the one), and a Wikipedia page (if, again, it's the same university, and I am not sure of that) says that this facility's known for an incident of promoting cruel behavior with animals for the sake of research. I also cannot find this news on any reputable news portals...

This just means that china is serious and really interested in the blockchain technology and want to apply to its people. This is a bold move, after all, china always leads when it comes to technology, it only matters of how it will be used by their government.

The Chinese Ministry of Education has approved the first blockchain engineering degree in the country, the title will be at the Chengdu Information Engineering University which opened the Blockchain Engineering major and other related technologies in 2020.

Students who want to get the degree must understand the basics of blockchain, in addition to the practical application of technology related to blockchain, and so on.

Blockchain engineering majors and undergraduate degrees are given, apparently created to meet the increasing demand for blockchain schools in China, especially according to Linkedin this year blockchain is one of the most needed skills.

Students who majored in this will gain an understanding of the basic theories behind blockchain technology, learn how they are designed and developed, and learn how they can be implemented.

Although the full course structure and syllabus has not yet been released, it seems that the course is designed to prepare students to design and implement blockchain solutions and manage their own projects. Students can register for courses later this year, although there is no clear time when the course will begin.

The Blockchain Department is China President's Encouragement?
Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans to improve the development of blockchain and education in China to position the country as a world leader in this field.

Although several universities in China already offer graduate programs around blockchain technology, the introduction of undergraduate programs will help younger students understand the blockchain more quickly and encourage the development of this technology.

Thus, China can soon find itself with a group of young blockchain developers, who understand blockchain will be ready to help China become the leading country in blockchain technology.

As Coin Investment has reported, China is a country that has quite a large blockchain investment, besides that this country also relies on the blockchain as a "weapon" in the trade war with the United States.

The presence of the blockchain majors is one of the proofs that this country is serious about supporting and developing the blockchain as an asset that will benefit the country.
