1 Introduction
In recent years, computer major has become a
popular major in universities around the world. With
the rapid development of new technologies such as
artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data,
and mobile Internet, the demand for talents majoring
in computer science is also gradually increasing.
Especially, Comprehensive and compound talents
with multi-disciplinary backgrounds have become
the preferred conditions for employment in Finance
and Economics Colleges [1]. Therefore, training of
computer science and technology undergraduates in
the universities pays more attention to practical
teaching, especially for the university of finance and
economics. Because students can make better use of
computers to solve their professional knowledge [2].
Computer science and technology discipline is
the study of computer design, manufacturing, the
use of computer information acquisition, expression,
storage, processing, control and other theories,
principles, methods, and techniques of the
discipline, it includes science and technology two
aspects, science and technology complement each
other, interaction [3]. In the aspect of science, it
emphasizes the mathematical theoretical foundation
of the discipline and the guiding role of
mathematical thought in computer science. The
technical aspect focuses on the engineering and
application of this discipline, which is the power,
source, and end result of the development of
computer science and technology [4]. There is a
great difference between the construction of a
computer specialty under an engineering
background and that in finance and economics
colleges. The former strengthens mathematical
knowledge and discipline basic theory, and mainly
cultivates research-oriented, innovative, and
compound talents with comprehensive abilities in
computer theory, computer system, computer
software development, computer engineering and
application technology, information system
development, and application research, analysis and
design. The latter is mainly for the undergraduate
computer majors of finance and economics colleges
and cultivates comprehensive, innovative, and
compound senior professional talents in the
financial industry.
Therefore, training the special talents of
computer undergraduate major is a very important
factor in Finance and Economics Colleges. The first

thing is to master the basic theory, technology, and
method of computer science and technology.
Moreover, they should master some basic
theoretical knowledge of economic management, so
as to meet the needs of social development in the
new era.
2 Construction of Computer Major in
Finance and Economics Colleges
The computer major relies on the advantages of
economics and management disciplines, combines
the relevant theoretical knowledge and practical
skills of economics and management, focuses on
mastering the relevant theoretical knowledge of
economics and management information
management software development, highlights the
advantages of cross-disciplines, and enhances the
cultivation of students' practical ability. It mainly
discusses the construction of computer specialty, the
development of case teaching model, and the
construction of practice and training base.
On the basis of the traditional computer major,
combined with the advantage of the discipline, the
construction of innovative and compound talents to
meet the needs of society is the goal of the
curriculum system. Develop specialized training
scheme and course standard, teaching outline, and
improve the relevant policies of the undergraduate
teaching, standard teaching management system,
perfect the theory teaching, practice teaching,
graduation design (paper), test, selection of
textbooks, and other teaching activities each link
quality standards, to achieve complete
undergraduate course teaching and compound talent
training target. Training the non-computer students
to make use of the tool of computer technology in
their major, which plays an important role and
position in the curriculum system and major
construction of economics and management, such as
Python Language. The Python Language [5] is a
large number of third-party modules based on
Python that support everything from financial
analysis to biological information, from social
network analysis to natural language processing,
from various databases to high-performance
computing model. It is an interpretive, object-
oriented computer programming language tool for
data statistics, analysis, visual analysis and other
tasks, as well as machine learning, artificial
intelligence and other fields. The language can meet
all the functional requirements of data processing,
statistical model and graph drawing required by data
mining.
Therefore, computer major can be used in
many areas, such as Machine learning and its
application, pattern recognition, neural network and
deep learning, visualization technology and other
courses are offered in traditional basic computer
courses. Specially, it related courses of economics
and management are also offered for undergraduates
majoring in finance and economics. Such as
business Big Data Analysis, financial data analysis,
and practice, finance, Management principles and
management marketing, management operations
research, as well as national college students’
innovation and entrepreneurship practice courses
[6]. Learning the basic knowledge of Python, such
as building the Python development environment,
Python syntax structure, program flow control,
common data types, and custom functions. By
learning the basic principles of programming,
students can not only master theoretical knowledge,
but also grasp the hot issues of The Times, such as
the current COVID-19 epidemic, master python's
approach to big data processing, and develop the
basic skills of big data analysis [7-9]. Combining
theory with practice, through a large number of
examples, such as Python-based data visualization
analysis under the global COVID-19 situation,
analysis and prediction of stock fluctuations, loss
and profit analysis and prediction of listed
companies, real estate price fluctuations and other
practical problems. Formulate the teaching syllabus
and design the teaching plan reasonably. Through
the reasonable design of teaching programs, such as
the design of the introduction part, students can
have a general understanding of the theoretical
knowledge points, and then carry out reasonable
guidance, so that students have a strong interest in
the knowledge, fully mobilize their enthusiasm of
students, and give play to the initiative of students'
independent learning.

Python language, Java language, assembly
language, algorithm and data structure, database
application technology, software system, operating
system, etc.
(2) Constantly explore the reform of teaching
methods to promote the improvement of teaching
quality. We should actively promote the way of
computational thinking concept, and train students'
ability to think, analyze and solve problems
independently in a problem or task-driven way.
Computational thinking is a series of thinking
activities covering the breadth of computer science,
such as problem solving, system design and human
behavior understanding [12-14]. In the teaching
process, students' subjective initiative should be
actively brought into play to improve the quality of
course construction in various ways.
