Study on the Reform of Mechanical Professional Practice Teaching under the Background of Engineering Certification

Before the engineering certification, in the link of mechanical professional practice teaching, especially in professional basic course design and graduation design, the teaching method was still remained in the passive learning mode that the teacher assigned task and the students follow specified steps, the implementation method was limited to artificial calculation and manual drawing. For the above problem of behindhand teaching methods and means, combining with the basic requirements of the mechanical engineering certification, an innovative reform is created, namely the inquiry-reception type teaching idea based on the driven project is introduced in the organization of the practice teaching and the integrated implementation method of CAD/CAE/CAM technology based on the mechanical product development process is adopted. Practice results show that the reform better achieves such objectives as the optimization of mechanical professional teaching system, knowledge structure and essential skills, and the development of the students' comprehensive practical ability, problem-solving ability and team cooperation ability, etc. The reform deepens the students' understanding and mastering of the integration of design and manufacturing technology based on the unified product data information, improves the students' ability of using CAD/CAE/CAM technology to solve the product development problems, and enhances the students' employment competitiveness. Therefore, the reform has certain value of reference and transplantation for other professional engineering certification.
