STEM教育融入高职机械设计类课程的研究与实践——以机械设计基础课程为例

Research and Practice of Integrating STEM Education into Higher Vocational Mechanical Design Courses ——Taking the Foundation of Mechanical Design as an Example

十几年来,我国高等职业教育从教育理念到课程体系各要素已较好地体现出职业导向性,但如何在课程教学中同时兼顾"职业性"与"高等性"仍是一个难题。根据STEM(科学、技术、工程、数学)教育理念和课程特点,在机械设计类课程中引入真实的机械设计项目,综合应用科学、技术、工程和数学知识与技能,在做中学、学中做,既可降低学习难度,激发学生解决问题的兴趣,完成教学目标,又可使课程的"职业性"与"高等性"有机融合。

Over the past decade, the elements of Higher Vocational Education in China, from educational concept to curriculum system, have better reflected the vocational orientation. However, it is still a difficult problem how to give consideration to both 'professionalism' and 'higher nature' in the course teaching. According to STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) educational concept and curriculum characteristics, introducing real mechanical design projects into Mechanical Design Courses, integrating Applied Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics knowledge and skills can realize 'Learn by doing, Do by learning', it can not only reduce the difficulty of learning, stimulate students’ interests in solving problems and achieve teaching objectives, but also integrate the 'professional' and 'higher' of the course organically.
