ABSTRACT

Aiming at the current issues of theory-practice disconnection and inadequate development of the innovation ability in the teaching of the "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design" course, this study proposes a reform and evaluation method of the course based on the science-education integration. By establishing a conversion mechanism of 'scientific research projects - teaching resources', the cutting-edge scientific research results of the discipline are transformed into modular teaching cases, forming a course content system that integrates theory and practice in depth. At the same time, a dual-track mechanism of 'process evaluation + outcome evaluation' is established based on the diversified evaluation system, and an evaluation system and evaluation criteria of the "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design" course are proposed.
