Brief Discussion on Students’ Creative Thinking Ability Cultivation in the “Fundamentals of Engineering Materials and the Machinery Manufacturing” Teaching Class

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show how to enhance students' creative thinking ability. After trying, the result indicated that learning enthusiasm and creative thinking ability could be improved by teachers' guidance leading, consolidating difficult and important points and after class target experimental operation. Fundamentals of mechanical engineering materials and has become one of most important professional basic courses of mechanical specialties. The closely linked content with strong a pplicability demands students to grasp fundamental knowledge and then to choose right materials for components. It is most suitable for students to cultivate creative thinking ability. Creative thinking absolutely a new kind of thinking mode emphasize on independency and creativity. I nnovative thinking which not come out of blue is the fruits of long time accumulation under objective conditions. Tridimensional creative thinking is a kind of ideology based on the universal relation in things. Innovative thinking formed little by little possesses the quality of ductility and divergent.

Though students learn mainly in reappearance thinking during school days, developing creative thinking has an indispensable status. Aimi ng at the present problems of colleges of engineering materials and machinery manufacturing base in the course teaching, to stimulate students' interest in learning this course, recognizing the materials, processing technology, modern manufacturing technology in the production and life of modern industry and even the national defense construction in an important position, concrete measures were put forward as following.
