ABSTRACT

Since Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China introduced the concept of "Emerging Engineering Education" (also known as "New Engineering Education") in 2017, the traditional curriculum of Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Automation has revealed numerous shortages: incomprehensive assessment indicators, focusing on theoretical reaching and students' lack of exposure to practical engineering problems. The elective course "Computer-Aided Design Technology" can address these deficiencies to some extent. This paper begins with the theory of "Emerging Engineering Education", explores how the course "Computer Aided Design Technology" compensates for the inadequacies of traditional professional courses, and proposes improvements to the curriculum to meet the demands for mechanical engineering professionals under the background of "Emerging Engineering Education".
