Help regarding 大创

May I ask the senior of the Information Engineering department:

  1. Is participating in Da Chuang (大创) once before graduation mandatory? Will you not graduate if you don’t participate?

  2. Does participating in Da Chuang (大创) help improve research ability?

1 I don’t know (because I’m not an information engineer), but computers are not required.
2 As far as I know, most likely there aren’t any. However, there are also examples of improvements.

It seems that before the 21st cohort of Information Engineering, there was no such graduation requirement.

1 Most likely not, I’ve never heard friends from the School of Information Engineering mention mandatory Da Chuang
2 No, in fact Da Chuang can foster a short‑term, quick‑and‑easy mindset, which is very harmful to genuine research.

  2. Having fully participated in an undergraduate innovation project
