“新工科”背景下高校科普基地的建设与实践

Construction and Practice of Science Bases in Universities under the Background of“New Engineering”

“新工科”的建设背景下,高校科普基地的管理模式及建设方式有待突破和创新。中国石油大学(北京)的科普基地——“物之理探索”展示厅基于“新工科”的建设要求,提出了新的建设思路。依托其科普及教育资源,通过改善管理制度、创建科普队伍、开设特色课程、对外开放共享等一系列探索实践,以增强在校大学生的创新实践能力,同时培养中小学生的科学素养。对其实践方法及实践成果进行了论述,并总结了高校科普基地在高等教育及科学传播方面的实践经验及展望,为“新工科”背景下高校科普基地的建设提供了有益借鉴。

Under the construction background of“new engineering”,the management mode and construction mechanism of science bases in colleges and universities need to be brought out of the rut and innovated.Neo-construction philosophy is put forward by the science base of China University of Petroleum(Beijing),the exhibition hall of“physical exploration”,based on the requirement of“new engineering”.Relying on its science and education resources,the base has made breakthroughs:the innovation and practice ability of college students is enhanced and the scientific literacy of primary and middle school students are cultivated through a series of exploration and practice that include improving the management system,creating a science popularization team,setting up specialty courses as well as opening and sharing.The practical methods and results are discussed.Meanwhile,the experience and prospect of college science bases relating higher education and science communication are proposed,which provides useful reference for the construction of the science bases in universities under the guidance of“new engineering”.
