桥梁结构电算课程理论与实践一体化教学模式探索

Integrated teaching mode of theory and practice for the computing for bridge structures course

为适应中国桥梁建设的飞速发展,改善高校"重理论,轻实践"的人才培养模式,缩小桥梁专业本科生与社会需求之间的质量缺口,针对桥梁结构电算课程理论与实践教学的困境,提出理论与实践一体化的教学模式。从课程设置、教学内容、教学方法和考核方式等方面将理论知识与实际桥梁结构建模操作有效糅合。根据典型桥型,采用分组,引入"项目式"的教学方法,改变学生在课堂中的角色,从而让学生由被动记忆和接受有限元软件的操作规则转变为主动掌握和探索有限元软件的功能和原理,以提高学生就业的竞争力和未来职业发展的适应力。

In order to meet the needs of rapid development of bridge construction in China, and to improve the current mode of talent education in universities which lays less stress on the practice with too much importance attached to the theory, and also to narrow the gap between the social demand and the undergraduate capability in bridge engineering, an integrated mode of theory and practice teaching is proposed for the curriculum of computing for bridge structures based on the predicament in the current theory and practice teaching. The theory knowledge is mixed together into the modeling practice of realistic bridge structures in the four teaching sections as curriculum provision, teaching content, teaching method and evaluation scheme. According to the typical categories of bridges, learning in groups is arranged and the project-based teaching method is introduced into the class, so that the role of student can be changed and the students will seize and even explore on their own initiatives the functions and principles of the finite element software, rather than accept the operation regulations by passive memory. This new teaching method is believed to enhance the students＇ employment competitiveness and also their adaptive faculty for future career development.
