問題詳情

第二篇：Our world is changing quickly. We cannot expect the material we learn in a professional discipline to remainrelevant for the rest of our career. Just look at the hi-tech industry: most of the technical skills needed today were notpart of engineering school curriculums a few years ago. Technology and artificial intelligence are also rapidly makingcertain routine human enterprises obsolete. A successful university education must therefore provide students withfundamental skills and help them learn on their own and adapt to evolving circumstances.What are these fundamentals? Language skills, including comprehension, expression and communication, willalways be needed. Quantitative skills, such as the ability to analyze a problem, see hidden patterns, identify relevantvariables and formulate solutions, are crucial to many jobs in society.In the past, we emphasized computational techniques and demanded that our students calculate answers quicklyand accurately. But such technical tasks are being taken over by machines. Many traditional science courses requirestudents to memorize chemical structures, chemical pathways or names of organisms. If we need such information, wesearch the internet and find the answers within seconds.A good university education should train a student as a person, to broaden their mind and horizons, to allow themto see the relationships of apparently disparate phenomena, to acquire knowledge independently and to develop theconfidence to challenge authority. These are the qualities that will make them leaders of the future. Such trainingrequires a very different set-up from the current discipline-specific, narrowly focused subject learning that was popularin the old days.

(A) The down side of the hi-tech industry
