Abstract
As one of the core professional courses for students majoring in surveying and mapping engineering, deformation monitoring is characterized by strong theories, numerous mathematical formulas, and complicated calculation. Task-driving teaching method in the form of traditional classroom has poor effects due to the one-way learning and strategy. To meet the needs of modern teaching, matrix laboratory (MATLAB) and deformation monitoring teaching are combined in this study. This work first identified the aspects of concepts, principles, and data to visualize boring data and abstract principles through simulation and concepts that are difficult to be understood and establishment of animation models to realize the visualization expression of deformation monitoring data preprocessing, deformation monitoring network adjustment, deformation prediction, and engineering application. A total of 114 students majoring in surveying and mapping engineering in Henan University of Urban Construction during 2014 are selected as test subjects to explore and demonstrate visualization teaching of deformation monitoring. Results show that the visualization teaching of deformation monitoring based on MATLAB enhances the integrity, coherence, and practicability of the course. It also improves students' interest in learning, deepens their understanding on learned knowledge, improves teaching quality, and provides a new way for the teaching mode reform of other courses of the surveying and mapping engineering specialty.
Highlights
With the progress of human society and rapid development of world economy, all kinds of construction engineering have been accelerated in recent years
To make up for the deficiency of the traditional teaching mode of deformation monitoring, the visualization technology of matrix laboratory (MATLAB) is applied to the teaching of deformation monitoring to construct the visualization system of deformation monitoring and data processing based on MATLAB
MATLAB is used in the teaching of deformation monitoring for students majoring in surveying and mapping engineering in Henan University of Urban Construction during 2014.We draw the following conclusions
Summary
With the progress of human society and rapid development of world economy, all kinds of construction engineering have been accelerated in recent years. Most students experience difficulty in learning the course and teachers are challenged in mobilizing students’ interest in learning To solve these problems, deformation monitoring and data processing are demonstrated via an interactive environment and visualization function of MATLAB platform. By combining MATLAB with deformation monitoring and data processing, the current study first identified the deformation data and basic principles It aims to visualize boring data and abstract principles using simulation technology and difficult concepts by establishing animation models and to realize the visual expression of four modules, namely, deformation monitoring data preprocessing, deformation monitoring network adjustment, deformation forecasting, and engineering application. Through the study of this course, students should master the methods of monitoring the deformation of various deformation bodies (such as high-rise buildings, dams, bridges, and mines), design of deformation monitoring schemes, adjustment calculation of the deformation monitoring network, and deformation analysis and prediction. The visualization of deformation prediction results includes regression analysis, grey systems theory, time series, and neural network
