Teaching Reform of “Engineering Chemistry” for Mechanical Electronic Engineering Specialty

Abstract

“Engineering Chemistry” is a compulsory course designed for non-chemical specialty. The course in Guangdong University of Technology aims to impart students an in-depth knowledge of various aspects of chemistry as applied to engineering. However, in teaching practice for mechanical electronic engineering specialty students, the course was found some problems, such as limited teaching hours, too many contents, little connection with engineering application, and low interests from the students. According to the requirements of mechanical electronic engineering specialty, combining the knowledge of engineering chemistry and the professional features of mechanical electronic engineering, the reforms of teaching contents, teaching methods, assessment methods of the “Engineering Chemistry” course were effectively explored.
