中新网杭州3月22日电 (童笑雨)“我们要培养学生成为终身学习者，而非只教授他们应对某一特定问题的能力。为此，必须改变教育体系，进行跨学科教学。”3月22日，加拿大高贵林市教育局局长助理斯蒂芬·惠芬在谈到推进STEM教学时，发表了自己的观点。
在当日举行的浙江-加拿大工程教育国际研讨会上，来自浙江和加拿大的专家学者就如何创新工程教育模式、培养适应未来社会发展的人才进行了深入交流。斯蒂芬·惠芬的发言引起了广泛共鸣。
他认为，传统的教育模式往往侧重于单一学科的教学，这并不适应现代社会对复合型人才的需求。跨学科教学能够帮助学生建立更广泛的视野，培养批判性思维和创新能力。
“未来的工程师需要具备多方面的技能，包括技术、管理、人文和社会科学等。”斯蒂芬·惠芬说，“通过跨学科的学习，学生能够更好地理解不同领域的问题，并找到创新的解决方案。”
此次研讨会由浙江大学与加拿大高贵林市教育局共同主办，旨在探讨如何在工程教育中融入更多国际化元素和创新理念。与会者一致认为，跨学科教育是培养未来工程人才的关键，也是推动教育改革的重要方向。

HANGZHOU, China, March 22 (Newswire) – “We should aim to educate students as lifelong learners, not just to prepare them for specific problems,” said Stephen Hui Wien, Assistant to the Superintendent of the Coquitlam School District in Canada, during a discussion on advancing STEM education at the Zhejiang-Canada Engineering Education International Symposium on March 22.
At the symposium, hosted jointly by Zhejiang University and the Coquitlam School District, experts and scholars from both countries delved into how to innovate engineering education and nurture talent ready for the future. Hui Wien’s remarks resonated with the audience.
He argued that traditional education often focuses on teaching single subjects, which does not meet the modern society’s demand for interdisciplinary talent. Interdisciplinary learning can help students build a broader perspective and foster critical thinking and innovation.
“Engineers of the future will need a variety of skills, including technical, managerial, humanities, and social sciences,” Hui Wien said. “Through interdisciplinary learning, students can better understand issues across different fields and find innovative solutions.”
The participants agreed that interdisciplinary education is crucial for nurturing future engineering talent and is a significant direction for educational reform.
