How Huawei Cloud Fuels AI, Big Data, and System Courses Across Chinese Universities

In line with the Ministry of Education’s Industry‑University Cooperation Collaborative Education Project Management Measures, outstanding results, typical practices, and successful experiences from project implementation are showcased to encourage deeper exploration of new cooperation models, mechanisms, and fields.

After expert review, 124 excellent project cases were selected, with three Huawei Cloud projects included.

Since 2017, Huawei has participated by providing funding, hardware and software resources, and technical support to over 500 projects, repeatedly recognized by the Ministry as an "Excellent Cooperation Enterprise" in industry‑university collaborative education.

AI Course Group Development at Beijing Institute of Technology

Based on Huawei’s full‑stack AI hardware‑software platform, a progressive AI curriculum was designed for engineering majors, creating a layered, research‑integrated AI course group that blends electronic information specialties with general education. Leveraging continuous resources and technical support from Huawei Cloud, the program taught over 800 students annually, establishing a "course‑competition‑creation" talent cultivation model. Students engaged in innovation projects, competitions, paper publications, and patent writing, achieving outstanding results and exemplifying a multidisciplinary engineering talent cultivation approach.

Big Data Introduction Course at Xinjiang University

Targeting regional demand for big‑data talent, the project aligned with Xinjiang University’s top‑level computer science discipline to enhance students’ data‑thinking abilities. Using Huawei Cloud, a comprehensive "Big Data Introduction" course was built, establishing a teaching‑lab environment on the Kunpeng big‑data cloud, improving practical teaching methods, refining the big‑data curriculum, and boosting teachers’ hands‑on capabilities. The initiative promoted teaching innovation and explored a collaborative education model that cultivates both theoretical and practical expertise.

System‑Level Programming Course Migration at Shenzhen University

The core undergraduate course "Computer Systems (2)" was migrated from x86 to Huawei Kunpeng cloud, integrating abundant cloud resources into teaching and labs. Students examined the Huawei Kunpeng computing system from a programmer’s perspective, linking high‑level languages, operating systems, compilers, and linkers, thereby strengthening skills in program porting, debugging, performance testing, and optimization. This integration enhanced hands‑on training, optimized teaching methods, and promoted shared high‑quality teaching resources.

Huawei Cloud provided each project with hardware‑software support valued between 100,000 and 200,000 CNY, and will continue to support more outstanding course constructions to aid talent cultivation in higher education.
