From June 1 to 4, 2026, DBJI held the undergraduate graduation thesis defense for the Class of 2026. DBJI placed great emphasis on the defense process, which was strictly organized in accordance with the degree-awarding standards of both Dalian University of Technology and Belarusian State University.
The defense covered two majors—Engineering Mechanics and Applied Physics—across seven defense panels. All 76 undergraduate students successfully passed the defense, demonstrating solid professional knowledge, outstanding bilingual skills, and a commendable academic spirit.
Graduation thesis defense serves as a comprehensive assessment of undergraduate learning outcomes. During the defense, students presented their research results entirely in English. The selected topics spanned key areas of China-Belarus cooperation, including advanced materials and structures, engineering mechanics modeling, condensed matter physics, and plasma physics. Experts from Belarusian State University took part in the evaluation remotely throughout the defense. Both Chinese and international experts rigorously assessed the students from multiple perspectives—including the value of topic selection, research methodology, and innovative achievements—and provided thorough comments and guidance on scientific rigor, logical coherence, and academic standards. Final scores were determined based on thesis quality, on-site presentation, and defense performance.
Adhering to the principle of "high standards and strict requirements," DBJI leverages the high-quality educational resources of both partner universities to further improve its joint supervision system. The successful completion of this year’s defense strongly validates the quality of its talent cultivation. Looking ahead, DBJI will continue to deepen educational cooperation, optimize talent development models, and steadily enhance teaching quality and student competence, contributing high-level, interdisciplinary talent with a global vision and cross-cultural capabilities to the Belt and Road Initiative.
