Held jointly by energy and dynamics teaching directing committee of institutions of higher learning and University of Science and Technology Beijing, sponsored by higher education department of the Ministry of Education, the third Nationwide University Students Energy Saving and Emission reduction Social Practice and Science and Technology Contest (NUSESERSPSTC)lasted from august 18 to 20,2010. The final was held in the stadium of the University of Science and Technology Beijing and exhibited some top works of the last two contests. Our university totaled 9 teams into the final, of which 4 had their works exhibited on behalf of Zhejiang University.

Energy saving and emission reduction are important measures the government takes to effectively implement the outlook of scientific development and build a harmonious socialist society during the Five-year Plan. As a major part of “Energy Saving and Emission Reduction University Action”, the Nationwide University Students Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Social Practice and science and technology contest is a nationwide university subject contest. Directive, exemplary, specialized, innovative and practice-oriented, the contest is attached to great importance by nationwide universities of higher learning and signed up for by a number of students. The first and second contests were held respectively in Zhejiang University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2008 and 2009 with 88 universities and 505 works from the start to 169 universities and 1,619 works. In 2010 there are 232 universities and 1,865 works in total for the contest and more and more universities and works take part in the contest with the quality of the works improving a lot. Cen Kefa, the president of the contest committee and an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, abroad then, sent his wish of the contest’s successful holding through the internet for the opening ceremony because his failure to attend it in person

More influential than ever, this contest takes “energy saving, emission reduction and green energy” as theme and require the entries be creative and new real objects making (including models), software, design and social practice research proposal with comprehensive knowledge spanning from energy, mechanics, resource, environment, architecture, electricity, oceanics, control, computer to social science. The first internet and expert panel assessment selected 136 entries all over the country into the final. 3 days of fierce and wonderful competition witnessed the evaluation process of spot exhibition, group defense, spot evaluation and expert panel discussion. Finally expert panel gave the ultimate result which was to be evaluated and released by the contest committee.

Under the auspices of leaders of undergraduate division of Zhejiang University and the energy department, effectively organized and directed by the contest practice base and institute, this year’s entry team of our university was of high standard through the competition in the third Zhejiang University contest, many times of training in the university and simulating exhibition and mobilization before the final, besides the spot direction and appraisal from academician Cen Kefa and other experts. During the contest in Beijing, our teams had the widest plan, the most entries and participants but they overcame such disadvantage as adaptation a new place, management of so many students and difficulty of transporting the exhibits. During the fierce and strenuous contest, the 9 entry teams spared no effort persistently, cooperatively and positively. Living up to our expectation, they achieved the best result in our entry history, eclipsing the previous results, wining greater honor for our university. And our university is the highest-level prize winner throughout the holding of the contest.

4 real object exhibits of our university’s , “ the joint device of gliding arc discharge and ozone for killing bacteria and virus in the air”(special prize for the 1st contest), “thermoacoustic compressor in low-grade heat”(first prize for the 1st), “free radical forcefully catalyzing filtering remover for the disposal of various pollutants in smoke”(special prize for the 2nd), “joint light, heat, electricity system using light-focusing frequency-dividing solar energy photovoltaic(PV)”(first prize for the 2nd), took part in the third contest’s exhibition for top works in its history and were spoken highly of by the institutions of higher learning and experts, which fully proved our university’s achievements and high standard in organizing and promoting the contest.

After bidding by universities, the committee of the contest decided through discussion and evaluation that the fourth nationwide University Energy Saving and Emission Reduction be held by Harbin Institute of Technology(HIT) in 2011 and the flag be granted to HIT by professor Ni Mingjiang in Zhejiang University, deputy president of the contest standing committee in the closing ceremony.

Congratulations to the students, tutors, team guide, leaders of energy department, relevant management of division, institute and all staff in practice base of the contest for your excellent results! Thanks for your hard work and wholehearted dedication for so many years! Best wishes for our university to achieve more in the development of energy saving and emission reduction and improve a lot in the entry standard!
