Teaching Reform and Practice of “Structural Mechanics” Course under the Background of New Engineering Discipline

Abstract

Under the background of the new engineering discipline construction promoting the transformation of engineering education, the traditional “Structural Mechanics” course has exposed pain points such as lagging content system, weak practical links, and single teaching methods. Based on the educational goal of the course, this paper proposes a three-dimensional teaching reform path oriented towards ability cultivation: through modular content reconstruction, organically connecting theoretical knowledge with engineering frontiers; by means of the blended teaching mode, building a multi-dimensional interactive learning ecosystem; relying on the optimization of the practical teaching system, enhancing students’ ability to solve complex engineering problems; and establishing a diversified evaluation mechanism throughout the entire process, deeply integrating ideological and political elements into the mechanics knowledge system. Teaching practice shows that the reform effectively promotes the coordinated development of students’ engineering literacy and innovative thinking, providing a reference implementation model for the connotation construction of professional basic courses under the background of new engineering disciplines.
