Exploration and Practice of Ideological and Political Demonstration Course in Mechanical Major: Taking Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics as an Example

The objective of ideological and political education in specialized courses is to combine knowledge impartation with value guidance, thus integrating the cultivation of ethical values throughout specialized courses. Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics is a core compulsory course for students majored in mechanical engineering, which mainly introduces the fundamental theories of the energy conversion and transfer, as well as the basic principles of fluid statics and dynamics. Taking Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics as an example, the present study explores the construction of ideological and political demonstration course from the following five perspectives: construction targets, teaching resource library, teaching team, teaching methods, evaluation and achievements of curriculum ideology and politics education. The curriculum ideology and politics education can help the students to reshape their core values, and significantly enhance the students' innovative awareness and creative abilities.
