Researches and Practices of Experimental Teaching Methods of Mechanical Specialty Adapted to Maker Education

Abstract

The opening of the laboratory is the main driving force behind maker-oriented cultivation of talents. At the same time, the maker-oriented cultivation of talents also makes higher demands on the experimental teaching. To accommodate the goal of maker education of cultivating talents, the experimental teaching center innovates and makes full use of various pedagogical methodologies and modernized teaching methods. Many comprehensive, designed and creative experimental projects have been developing actively. Professors put more emphasis on student-oriented, interactive and research-and-discussion teaching which is based on problems, projects and cases and independent, cooperative and exploratory learning. We have made some achievements by putting those methods in practice.
