ABSTRACT

"Structural Design of Mechanical Equipment" is a core course for mechanical engineering majors, characterized by strong engineering relevance, comprehensiveness, and practicality. However, the traditional teaching model suffers from a disconnect between theory and practice, insufficient student participation, and a unitary assessment approach. Based on the Chaoxing Fanya Platform and the Xuexitong mobile application, this paper explores the path of online-offline blended teaching reform, using the course as a vehicle. The study implements practices in curriculum content restructuring, online resource construction, flipped classroom implementation, and diversified assessment. It forms a four-in-one teaching model: "online preview – classroom discussion – after-class extension – project-driven learning." Teaching practice shows that this model effectively enhances students' learning initiative and engineering practical abilities, providing a valuable reference for blended teaching reform in mechanical engineering core courses.
