新工科背景下高校环境通识教育理念与实践

Concept and Practice of Environmental General Education in Colleges and Universities under the Background of Emerging Engineering Education

发展环境教育,提高环境意识,是解决环境问题和实施可持续发展战略的希望所在,培养新经济急需的以及引领未来技术和产业发展的人才已成为全社会的共识。在开设“环境科学与工程导论”环境通识教育课程中,秉承理工结合和科工并重的教学理念,构建了“课堂讲授—见习实验—社会调研”三位一体的混合式教学模式,进行课程考核机制和缩小教学班规模等改革,在教学过程中穿插一些趣味材料和典型环境问题及案例分析,引入实物教学和课堂实验并设置专门的专业实验室见习课,引导学生利用周末和节假日时间开展环境污染社会实践调研活动。编写的配套教材出版后在全国推广使用,取得了良好的教学效果和社会反响。

Developing environmental education and raising environmental awareness are the hope of solving environmental problems and implementing sustainable development strategy,which has become the consensus of the whole society to train talents urgently needed by the new economy and leading the future technological and industrial development.We offer the environmental general education course of“Introduction to Environmental Science and Engineering”,that is to follow the teaching concepts of combining science and engineering and paying equal attention to science and engineering,construct the trinity mixed teaching mode of“classroom teaching,internship experiment and social practice”,and carry out the reform of curriculum assessment method and reducing the scale of teaching class.During the teaching process,some interesting materials,typical environmental problems and case analysis are interspersed,concrete objects and classroom experiments are used and introduced,and special professional laboratory internships are set up.Students are required to carry out environmental pollution social practical research activities on weekends and holidays,and the published textbook has been used throughout the country.In the process of reform,good teaching effect and social response have been achieved.
