Reform of the Engineering Mechanics Course System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effective and careful research has been performed by the Section of Mechanics Teaching and Research, Southwest Petroleum University on the content, status, student characteristics of the non-mechanical and non-civil-engineering engineering mechanics course system. Reform ideas and measures, which are also applicable to other common colleges, have been suggested in the course content and course system of engineering mechanics in Southwest Petroleum University. The effectiveness of the reform of the engineering mechanics course system has been validated by actual teaching practice of engineering mechanics in Southwest Petroleum University. Thus, the reform methodology is also applicable to other common colleges.

The introductory physics courses at the University of Alabama (UA) are, in many ways, typical of a comprehensive state university with a college of engineering. There are algebra-based (PH101/102) and calculus-based (PH105/106) courses as well as a conceptual physics course (PH115). The PH101/102 coursework is taken primarily by life-science majors and PH105/106 is taken primarily by engineerin...
متن کاملRedesigning a course to help students achieve higher-order cognitive thinking skills: from goals and mechanics to student outcomes.
Here we describe a 4-yr course reform and its outcomes. The upper-division neurophysiology course gradually transformed from a traditional lecture in 2004 to a more student-centered course in 2008, through the addition of evidence-based active learning practices, such as deliberate problem-solving practice on homework and peer learning structures, both inside and outside of class. Due to the in...
