ABSTRACT

The article explores feasible paths and methods for integrating materials mechanics with teacher's research projects, especially in the direction of laser additive manufacturing. The existing problems for the integration of research and teaching are teachers' motivation, teaching design, students' cognition, management mechanism and evaluation system. The teaching model with "foundation of basic theories - cutting edge cases - critical discussions - further evolution of content" is proposed. By integrating additive manufacturing examples, such as stress concentration experiment, beam structure performance test and 3D printing competitions, the students' intuitive understanding of theoretical knowledge and practical abilities can be enhanced. At the same time, a diversified and process-oriented assessment system has been established, which emphasizes the comprehensive evaluation of students' scientific research literacy, innovation ability and practical ability. The research aims to promote the transformation of scientific research resources into teaching resources, enhance the cutting-edge nature, practicality and student engagement of Materials Mechanics, and provide a reference for cultivating high-quality engineering talents.
