The Construction and Practice of Teaching Method for Mechanical Principles Integration Course Based on CDIO

Abstract:

In this paper, a teaching method reform is introduced based on the CDIO international concept of engineering education, to build the integrated teaching model of the mechanical principles that combines theory teaching, experiment and course design. During the reform, a schedule is made to arrange these three parts according to their contents, and joined all the content together so as to let students’ do related practices while learning new theories. This reform is aim at leading students change from passive learning into voluntary study, cultivating students' creative thinking so as to train students the abilities of conceive, design, implementation and operation. The results turned out that this method can free students from traditional teaching model and make a solid foundation for training a qualified mechanical engineer.
