行业与高职教育的专业研究

高等职业教育,是我国高等教育在发展中的新类型,它与传统高等教育的最大不同是不以学科体系为依托培养学术型研究人才,而是以培养职业技能为核心的高等教育。因此,高职教育的院、系设置与专业设置的依据也应随之变化。通过分析行业与产业、职业、工作岗位的关系和院系设置与边界,认为应按行业设置院系,按职业设置专业;同时,高职专业有行业纵向发展的“经专业”,还有技术岗位横向发展的“纬专业”。     

The Dutch East India Company,Christiaan Huygens and the Marine Clock, 1682-95

The story of the Dutch East India Company, Christiaan Huygens and the marine clock shows that in the seventeenth century Dutch Republic there was a tendency towards the formation of a modern partnership between business, science and technology. This emerging relationship was personified by Johannes Hudde (1628-1704) and Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), men from entirely different walks of life except for their shared interest in science, especially mathematics. It was this shared interest in mathematics which brought them together and indirectly led to the marine clock research project. Hudde was a Director of the Dutch East India Company as well as a mathematician of international standing, whilst Huygens was both a brilliant theoretical scientist and extremely skilled innovator.Through his interest in mathematics, Hudde had come to know Huygens - he had corresponded with him and was broadly familiar with the work Huygens had been doing. So when Huygens, in 1682, returned to Holland from France, Hudde conceived the idea, which was entirely novel at the time, to enlist the support of the East India Company for one of Huygens' research projects, a project, of course, in which the Company had a direct economic interest, namely, the marine clock which it needed to find the longitude at sea.
