Tentative Discussion on Teaching Practices of Basic Specialized Technical Course against the Backdrop of New Engineering Driven by Scientific Research

Abstract

The Mechanisms and Machine Theory, a basic specialized technical course required for undergraduate students of mechanical majors at the authors’ university, occupies an important position in the teaching plan for talent cultivation in higher education. To achieve a modernized teaching system, it is imperative to ensure students’ acquisition of a solid foundation and interdisciplinary knowledge while emphasizing the development of specialized knowledge. Against the backdrop of new engineering, the relationship between science education and scientific research should be properly addressed in order to build a teachingand research-oriented university. Students’ initiative and innovative ability can be fully inspired and cultivated by progressively infiltrating the theoretical teaching with the instructor’s research content, reasonably expanding the depth of knowledge in course design and properly applying relevant knowledge in experiments across all stages of course teaching.
