The 8th Future Computer Education Summit (FCES 2024), organized by the China Computer Federation (CCF), was held in Shenyang from July 25th to 27th. Focusing on the theme of "Digital Development in Education", the conference was chaired by Mr. Zheng Weimin, Fellow of CCF, former Chairman of CCF, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor of Tsinghua University, and set up a total of 5 invited presentations, 5 viewpoints presentations, and 14 sub-forums to discuss the construction and development of digitalization of education in different dimensions. The School of Computer Science hosted the sub-forum on "Cultivation of Innovative Computer Talents in the Context of New Engineering in Ethnic Colleges", with Dean Tie Jun as the chairman of the sub-forum.

This sub-forum gathered experts and scholars who are engaged in relevant educational research in the field of computer science in ethnic colleges and universities. With the focus on strengthening the sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line, it centered on the education of innovative computer talents under the background of new engineering. It delved into topics such as intensifying the cultivation of new engineering talents, achieving in-depth integration of industry, academia and research, serving the computer talent needs of the country and local areas, combining undergraduate education teaching audit and evaluation as well as engineering education accreditation, and revolving around talent cultivation models and evaluation standards, the nurturing process, quality assurance, interdisciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship education, and industry-education integration and collaborative talent cultivation, thus promoting the high-quality development of the cultivation of innovative computer talents.

In the sub-forum, Weng Yu, dean of the School of Information Engineering of Central University for Nationalities, Li Zhigang, dean of the School of Information Science and Technology of Shihezi University, Huang Jianqiang, executive vice dean of the School of Computer Science of Qinghai University, Zhang Jianxin, vice dean of the School of Computer Science and Engineering of Dalian University for Nationalities, Zhou Xuchuan, head of the Software Engineering Program of the School of Computer Science and Engineering of Southwest University for Nationalities, and Sun Yangguang, vice dean of the School of Computer Science of South Central University for Nationalities made special reports and theme exchanges respectively. And they combined with the characteristics of their respective institutions from a variety of perspectives to give the new engineering background of computer innovation talent training experience sharing and analysis and thinking.

Future Computer Education Summit (FCES) is an annual high-end academic conference in the field of computer education in China, organized by the China Computer Federation (CCF). Since it was held in 2017, the summit has had a wide social impact, building a platform for computer education researchers and workers to communicate and dialogue, and to jointly discuss new trends, challenges and phenomena in the process of China's computer education reform and innovative development. This year's summit gathered nearly 600 experts and scholars from national universities, research institutions and enterprise representatives to discuss the new path of education development in the digital era in depth and in multiple dimensions. The successful organization of this summit's ethnic sub-forum is an important initiative for the School of Computer Science of our university to strengthen discipline construction, coordinate "going out" and "bringing in", and further share the experience of computer innovation talent cultivation in the context of new engineering in ethnic institutions, in order to accelerate the development of new quality productivity. It also further built a platform for the exchange of computer education in ethnic colleges and universities through the sharing of experience in the cultivation of innovative computer talents in the context of new engineering disciplines and the provision of talent support for the accelerated development of new productivity.
