Teaching Reform of Structural Mechanics Course in Applied Universities under the Background of Engineering Education Accreditation

Abstract

Engineering education accreditation takes “student-centered, output-oriented, continuous improvement” as the core orientation, and puts forward clear ability requirements for the training of engineering professionals in applied universities. As the core professional basic course of civil engineering, intelligent construction and other majors, structural mechanics is the key carrier to connect basic mechanics and engineering practice. Its teaching quality directly affects the training effect of students’ engineering literacy and professional ability. In view of the problems existing in the course of structural mechanics in applied colleges and universities, such as abstract and difficult knowledge, disconnection between theory and practice, insufficient motivation of students’ active learning, and single assessment method, combined with the certification standards of engineering education and the orientation of applied colleges and universities, from the four dimensions of teaching content optimization, teaching mode remodeling, teaching method improvement and assessment method reform, this paper puts forward targeted teaching reform strategies, and constructs a teaching system of “integrating theory with practice, paying equal attention to knowledge and ability, and giving consideration to process and result,” aiming at improving the teaching quality of the course and students’ engineering practice ability. To cultivate high-quality applied engineering and technical talents in line with industry needs and certification standards.
