MIT“推进”系列课程设置方案的研究与启示

Investigation and Enlightenment of MIT Propulsion-series Courses Setting Schemes

通过对麻省理工学院(MIT)"推进"课程的设置方案进行对比分析,认为MIT"推进"课程方案具有几个特征:1)本科阶段强调扎实的基础知识学习;2)研究生阶段注重面向工程应用的专业理论教学;3)有效的综合实践教学环节保证学生有效掌握教学内容;4)灵活的考核方式促进了全程教学质量的提高。MIT"推进"相关课程的教学及实践内容设置全面,教学手段具有较强系统性和可操作性,有利于学生掌握扎实的基础知识同时提高实际应用能力,值得借鉴。

Through comparison and analysis of the Massachusettes Institute of Technology （MIT） propulsion-series setting schemes,several characteristics of MIT courses schemes are demonstrated as follows：1） The fundamental knowledge study is emphasized in the undergraduate courses; 2） The major theory courses oriented to the engineering application during the graduate period is highly emphasized; 3）The effective teaching steps combined with synthesized practice make it efficient to ensure the students to master the course contents; 4）Flexible examinations promote the whole teaching procedure. The propulsion-series courses setting schemes combined with the teaching and the practical contents are comprehensive and the teaching methods are of strong systematic characteristics and feasibleness,helping the students master the fundamental knowledge firmly and promote the application capability.
