Abstract
Mechanical design course covers various contents, and most of them are complex theoretical knowledge. However, current teaching modes in China mainly combine textbook with PPT (PowerPoint) created in advance. This monotonous mode cause students to lose interests in their curriculum, and knowledge becomes difficult to gain. To improve teaching effectiveness, we propose a novel teaching mode by applying simulation technology to a particular mechanical design course. Using the chapter of gear transmission as an example, we also introduce a specific approach. Comparing traditional modes with the proposed mode, we demonstrate that combining simulation analysis technology with the content of mechanical design course can enrich the teaching process and improve students’ learning interests. The proposed approach can also help students analyze and solve problems with relevant knowledge and enhance their practical abilities. Thus, these students can satisfy the requirements of modern society for mechanical engineering graduates.
Highlights
Mechanical design is a key course requiring mastery from students of mechanical engineering and related majors
In China, the current teaching mode of mechanical design is relatively monotonous, and its main approach involves teaching theory in textbooks combined with PPT (PowerPoint)
With extensive applications of simulation technology in the actual process of production design, employers impose higher requirements for graduates in computer-aided technology. Some experts, such as Le [2], emphasized that mechanical engineering education is transforming from teaching theory into practical applications, and they believed that the teaching mode, which is combined with theoretical teaching, simulation technology, and engineering practices, is the optimum technique to adapt to current teaching environment
Summary
Mechanical design is a key course requiring mastery from students of mechanical engineering and related majors. With extensive applications of simulation technology in the actual process of production design, employers impose higher requirements for graduates in computer-aided technology. Some experts, such as Le [2], emphasized that mechanical engineering education is transforming from teaching theory into practical applications, and they believed that the teaching mode, which is combined with theoretical teaching, simulation technology, and engineering practices, is the optimum technique to adapt to current teaching environment. In the later mechanical design course, students basically fail to apply simulation technology to relevant contents This type of teaching mode that creates no connections among different courses forms a complete system of knowledge scarcely. Improving teaching effectiveness is a key issue for researchers to help students master their professional skills and enhance their competitiveness
