Exploration and Practice of Innovative Teaching Methods Based on Theory of Machines and Mechanisms

Theory of machines and mechanisms is one of the important technical foundation courses for mechanical students in universities. The goals of this paper are to stimulate the learning interest of students and develop students' innovative abilities. On this basis, this paper introduces the deficiencies of the curriculum existed in the traditional teaching. And it put forward five innovative teaching methods including teaching method, course design, experimental teaching, extracurricular activities of science technology and research projects in the course of theory of machines and mechanisms. In this way, the students' enthusiasm for learning and curiosity can be stimulated.
