Electrical machine course teaching reform in the background of new engineering construction

"Electrical Machinery" is the electrical engineering professional basic subject featured with theory and abstract content, involving many disciplines, and closely linked with the engineering practice, which makes it hard in the teaching and learning process. In the background of the fourth industrial revolution and new engineering construction, the teaching reform of Electrical Machinery courses should be carried out to improve the talent training quality and adapt to the new economic development of science and technology. Taking Yanshan University as an example, this paper elaborates the design plan of the teaching reform, the organization and selection of teaching contents, the reform of classroom teaching method and the practice and effect of project teaching. Through practice, compared with before the teaching reform, students' interest in learning, innovation ability, and practical ability have been significantly improved.
