ABSTRACT

Textbooks are an important basis for teaching and a guarantee for improving the quality of talent cultivation. There are significant differences between applied undergraduate and traditional undergraduate in engineering education. This article summarizes the characteristics of engineering textbooks for applied undergraduate and the implementation path of textbook construction. The textbooks should be designed according to the curriculum objectives and "outcome" orientation, keep up with the development of science and technology, focus on improving students' ability to solve complex engineering problems and be innovative in style and form. At the same time, the implementation path of textbook construction needs to be adjusted. It is necessary to select qualified writers, promote the dual development of colleges and enterprises, accelerate the speed of textbook updates, focus on students, and build new forms of textbooks with innovative content and form, in order to develop excellent textbooks that meet the positioning of engineering applied undergraduate talents.
