高校工程认知博物馆建设的实践与探索

Practice and Exploration on the Construction of Engineering Cognition Museum in Universities

高校工程认知博物馆为开展工程教育的提供了平台,有助于凸显高校工程文化、丰富教育教学内涵、提升大学生的工程实践能力,对培养创新型工程科技人才具有积极的作用。本文以合肥工业大学工程认知博物馆为例,在建设内容上重点就一期工程中序厅、电气工程厅、材料工程厅、汽车工程厅、机械工程厅、电子信息厅和生物标本厅7个展厅进行了介绍,在运行模式上从开放时间、经费保障、展品来源、教育方式和管理机制5个方面做了论述,在工作成效上从教育效果、参观人数和社会评价等方面作了说明。最后,从理念、目标、内容、和机制对加强工程认知博物馆建设提出了建议。

Engineering cognition museum in universities provides a platform for developing engineering education. It helps to highlight university＇ s engineering culture, enrich the connotation of education and enhance students＇engineering practice ability. Thus, it plays a positive role in cultivating innovative engineering technology professionals. The paper takes engineering cognition museum in Hefei University of Engineering as an example, introduces seven exhibition halls which are lobby, electrical engineering hall, materials engineering hall, automotive engineering hall, mechanical engineering hall, electronic information hall and biological specimens hall. The paper also discusses the opening hours, funding guarantee, and source of exhibitions, educational methods and management mechanisms from the angle of operating mode. Moreover, it illustrates the educational effect, the number of visitors and social evaluation etc. from the aspect of working effect. Finally, the paper gives some suggestion for strengthening construction of engineering cognition museum from concept, objectives, content, and mechanisms. The paper also introduces the construction, operation mode and effects of engineering museum, and proposes relevant suggestions.
