Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "Notice on Publishing the List of Pilot Programs for the Integration of Professional and Standardization Education" (Document No. [2026] 48, Guo Shi Jian Biao Chuang Fa). The "Micro-specialization in Smart City Energy Management and Standardization" submitted by Lanzhou University was successfully selected as a pilot program in the professional education training model. The program is jointly undertaken by the China Municipal Engineering Northwest Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. This pilot initiative covers a total of 281 pilot projects across 253 higher education institutions in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) nationwide.

The pilot program for the integration of professional and standardization education was jointly launched by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Education as one of the first national initiatives of its kind. It aims to thoroughly implement the relevant work deployments of the National Standardization Development Outline and the Outline of the Plan for Building a Leading Country in Education (2024-2035), improve the education and training mechanism for standardized talent, and cultivate a group of high-quality professionals who possess both specialized knowledge and standardization skills. This marks a new stage in the development of China's standardization talent pool. The pilot program is divided into three models: public education training model, professional education training model, and multi-degree education training model. It covers key national industrial sectors such as artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, and new energy. Lanzhou University's selected program falls under the professional education training model.

For this project, the University plans to offer a "Micro-specialization in Smart City Energy Management and Standardization", with course content covering energy management, fluid transmission and distribution, geographic information systems, fundamentals of standardization, and artificial intelligence. The program aims to cultivate high-quality, versatile professionals capable of applying standardization methods to solve complex problems in the field of smart city energy management, thereby contributing Lanzhou University's wisdom and strength to the national standardization strategy and high-quality regional development.
