Promoting Educational Reform to Enhance Talent Cultivation Quality of Civil Engineering Majors Based on Deep Learning Background

Abstract This paper focuses on improving the quality of talent cultivation for civil engineering students through reforming teaching quality and course selection management. Regarding teaching quality management, the article proposes to use improved Apriori algorithm to generate high interest rules and utilize SQL for effective data manipulation.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Experimental Teaching Quality Using AHP-TOPSIS Technique

The key of university experimental teaching is to help students gradually perfect from knowledge learning to improvement of actual operational ability through experiments in the teaching and learning process. University experimental teaching is conducive for promoting innovative thinking and ability of practice of university students, and it plays an important role in the entire talent training system. Establishing scientific and reasonable evaluation methods and reflecting shortages in practical experimental teaching are not only keys of evaluation but also important guarantee to improve university experimental teaching quality. In this study, an evaluation index system of experimental teaching quality was constructed by combining analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Weights of indexes were determined. Moreover, a case study based on a comprehensive evaluation of experimental teaching quality of Construction Engineering CAD for civil engineering majors of undergraduates was performed. Results demonstrated that Level 2 indexes about teachers’ good preparation of lessons and complete and standard teaching documents (X-1-3), as well as students’ active thinking and positive participation in classroom learning (X-3-2), had the highest weight. Students’ evaluation ranking results provided quantitative references to more scientific evaluation of experimental teaching. The comprehensive evaluation of experimental teaching quality using AHP-TOPSIS technique solves the mutual dependence and feedback relationship among evaluation indexes effectively, and avoids influences of subjectivity and one-sidedness of artificial weighting. Research conclusions can provide important references to optimize experimental teaching process, train the innovation ability of students, increase the comprehensive quality of students, and deepen reform in experimental teaching.

Learning Outcomes of Civil Engineering Students in PBL Based on Building Information Modeling

Abstract—The new technology called building information modeling (BIM) derived in China’s construction industry in the general background of information era, as well as construction of intelligent buildings and smart cities, requires many university students majoring in Civil Engineering who are skilled in BIM technology. Characterized by online learning at any time, free and diversified learning modes, and ubiquitous learning, project-based BIM teaching can effectively improve the learning outcomes of Civil Engineering majors. To explore such learning outcomes of these students from engineering technological universities from project-based BIM teaching, 240 junior students majoring in Civil Engineering from 4 universities in Henan Province, China were chosen as research objects (120 each for the control and 120 experimental groups). The effect of BIM teaching in improving learning outcomes was investigated through a 16-week teaching experiment of Design Theory for Concrete Structure. The experimental and control groups used the project-based BIM teaching and traditional teaching modes, respectively. On this basis, independent and paired sample T-tests were carried out to the experimental data. Research results showed that pre-test scores of the group and control groups have a normality trait, conforming to the preconditions of the teaching experiment. Pre- and post-test scores of the experimental group had evident differences. Post-test scores of the experimental group were 15.82 higher than the pre-test scores, and the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.001). Owing to BIM teaching, post-test performances of the control and experimental groups also had significantly statistical significance. Project-based BIM teaching can improve learning outcomes of university students majoring in Civil Engineering. Research conclusions have important references to build BIM teaching resource platform, solve scattered and insufficient BIM teaching resources, facilitate active learning of university students majoring in Civil Engineering, and improve teaching effect.
