Exploration of Distance Education Mechanical Engineering Experimental Teaching Model

Abstract

The article introduces and discusses the mechanical experimental teaching model under the condition of the modern distance education. Aimed at mechanical engineering experimental model exploration based on the distance education, according to the characteristics of distance education students and the principle of mechanical engineering experimental teaching, combining with the computer multi-media technology, simulation, virtual instrument technology and remote control technology, distance teaching platform, which meet mechanical engineering experimental teaching has been constructed. Index Terms - Distance Education, Mechanical Experiment, Teaching Mode. 1. The Position of Mechanical Experimental Teaching In the Modern Distance Education The emergence and development of modern distance education is always connected together with all the development of information technology. It is very significant that the modern distance educations provide more opportunities for learning, expands the scale of teaching, improves the teaching quality and reduce the cost of teaching. As an important content of the modern distance education in the major of mechanical, experimental teaching not only need to pay attention to the professional ability, theory and practical combined with the cultivation of ability stressed by the traditional education, but also need more to pay attention to students in the modern education technology environment, improve their ability, which adapt to the needs of social development and continuous learning and exploration, and train the talents who have the innovation spirit and innovation ability. 1 With the rapid development of the modern distance education, contradictions which restrict machinery experimental teaching become more extrusive. Contradiction between theoretical teaching and the inherent mode of experimental teaching; Contradiction between large scale, large number of students and the specific experiment teaching; Contradiction between weakness foundation of student, big ability difference and the unity plan of experiment teaching; Contradiction between mechanical professional discipline involved with multidisciplinary, and the backward of experimental equipment, lack of network experiment teaching software. In addition, the implementation and the evaluation of the experiment are still in a traditional education range, lack of innovation and features, and the deficiency of the capital and the lack of teachers are also greatly restricted the development of the modern distance education mechanical experiment teaching. Therefore, with computer network technology, it is an inevitable trend for the development of the modern distance education to speed up the construction of experimental teaching platform. The modern distance education mechanical experiment teaching limited by funds, personnel, equipment, and many other factors, the type and depth of experiment are poor to the ordinary university. With the development of the modern distance education and the expand requirements of education, the reform of mechanical model of experimental teaching is extremely urgent.
