ABSTRACT

The "Mechanical Structural Design" course becomes the research object to deeply explore the "Six-Step Teaching Method" in depth in the course teaching of the undergraduate education. Based on the actual teaching cases of the course, this paper introduces the completed implementation steps and comprehensively analyses the improvement of the proposed teaching method in the teaching quality and effect of the typical course. These steps contain the problem posing, the project determination, the literature collection, the design implementation, the achievement discussion, and the grade evaluation, respectively. The ultimate results of this research are to motivate the students' enthusiasm of the self-learning ability and promote the engineering innovative thinking and the practical problem solving, so as to provide a feasible course teaching method for cultivating the high-quality engineers in the field of the mechanical engineering.
