我国的工人工程师是在解放后成长起来的。在50年代末和80年代初,为了加速培养工人技术力量,党和政府从各厂矿企业选拔了一批实践经验丰富、生产技艺高超的优秀工人,送到大专院校培养。经过系统的理论教育,造就了我国第一代工人工程师,他们中的有些人成为今天党和政府各个部门的 Our workers’ engineers grew up after liberation. In the late 1950s and early 1980s, in order to accelerate the development of workers’ technical strength, the party and government selected a group of outstanding workers with rich practical experience and excellent production skills from various factories and mines to send them to colleges and universities for training. After systematic theoretical education, the first generation of workers’ engineers in China was created. Some of them became today’s party and government’s departments.
