ABSTRACT

To better adapt to the intelligent development trends of modern manufacturing, how to conduct educational and teaching innovation has become a research hotspot in the field of mechanical engineering education. As a core compulsory course for undergraduate mechanical engineering programs, Modern Mechanical Control Engineering course significantly impacts the teaching quality and student development. However, the existing courses on mechanical engineering control theory face issues such as outdated teaching methods, incomplete assessment method, and students lacking practical engineering experience. There is an urgent need for teaching innovation exploration to better cultivate comprehensive talents with solid foundational knowledge and innovative practical abilities. This paper explores multi-dimensional teaching innovation for this course through multiple methods including diversified assessment methods, integrating ideological and political education in classroom teaching, combining theoretical knowledge with engineering projects, and MATLAB-aided simulation experiments teaching. These teaching innovation methods contribute to cultivating innovative engineering talents for the new era and provide a reference method for how other disciplines might approach teaching innovation.
