The First Beijing & the Fourth Tsinghua University Virtual Simulation Creative Design Contest recently concluded at Tsinghua University's School of Materials Science and Engineering on May 27.

It was attended by 78 delegations from 25 universities, including Tsinghua University, the Beijing Institute of Technology, the University of Science and Technology Beijing, the National University of Defense Technology, Nanjing University, Beihang University and China Agricultural University, across 16 provincial regions.

The contest targeted the in-depth integration of virtual simulation technologies and higher education in the digital era, and aimed to help college students learn more about virtual simulation technologies and facilitate their application in different fields.

During the event, teachers and experts from universities and enterprises held 10 training sessions for contestants on the development and application of virtual simulation technology and provided them with professional guidance in the creation of high-quality products.

After the preliminary rounds, 16 delegations of undergraduate students and another 16 delegations of graduate students entered the final of the competition.

Organizers presented a special award to one delegation, first-class prizes to three delegations, second-class prizes to four delegations and third-class prizes to eight delegations.

The competition was hosted by the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Tsinghua University, supported by the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Beijing Institute of Technology and the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, and undertaken by Tsinghua University's state-level Virtual Simulation Experimental Teaching Center of Materials Science and Engineering.
