化学工程领域本科生国际化全英文通识课程“过程强化”教学探索

Investigation on Teaching the International English Course of Process Intensification for Undergraduates of Chemical Engineering

阐述了北京化工大学化学工程学院整合校内教师及短期外籍专家师资力量,面向化学工程领域本科生开展全英文通识课程“过程强化”建设的经验。针对高校通识教育普遍存在课程覆盖面窄、学生积极性低、师资力量薄弱、授课形式单一等问题,从课程内容设计、教学模式创新、专业思政融合等3个方面,总结了课程教学改革方面的特色实践。在全英文的教学环境下,通过简单的语言将化工过程强化的概念原理与日常生活紧密联系,生动展示化工学科实用性强和适用面广的特点,既能够增强学生对专业学习的热情,又促进了学生对专业英语感悟能力、口语表达和沟通能力的提升,为化工类通识教育课程建设和高素质复合型人才培养提供了借鉴与参考。

Based on the first-hand experiences of teaching international English course of process intensification for undergraduates,we have summarized the characteristic practice in the design of the courses and the innovation of online-and-offline blended teaching mode,by integrating the faculty of chemical engineering at Beijing University of chemical technology and the faculty of short-term foreign experts.Faculty of internal teachers and short-term foreign experts to carry out the construction.In view of the common problems of general education in the universities,such as narrow knowledge of course,low enthusiasm of students,lack of sufficient qualified teachers and dull classroom language,we improve the teaching from three aspects including curriculum content design,teaching mode innovation and ideological education.In an all English teaching environment,the concept and principle of chemical process reinforcement are closely connected with daily life through simple language,and the characteristics of chemical engineering discipline with strong practicability and wide application are displayed.The course can not only enhance students’enthusiasm for professional learning,but also promote students’ability to understand professional English,oral expression and communication.It provides a reference for the construction of chemical based general education courses and the training of students with international vision and innovative consciousness to become high qualified and combinational talents.
