ABSTRACT

STEP is short for Software, Theory, Experiment and Project. STEP teaching mode closely combines software tools, theory teaching, experiment and project practice. Theory teaching and experiment is an indispensable teaching link in most engineering courses. With the increasing variety of engineering software tools, the functions are getting stronger and stronger, and the simulation effects are becoming more and more realistic. Most of the basic courses, professional basic courses or professional courses of the automation majors have professional software matching them, which provides good conditions for the implementation of the STEP teaching mode. The STEP teaching mode takes the project as the carrier, through software tools, hands-on practice and other "learning in the doing", to improve students’ ability of using the knowledge they have learned to solve practical engineering projects.
