ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the integration of mechanism course with national strategic needs, aiming to explore a new teaching model to cultivate high-quality engineering and technical talents that meet the demands of intelligent and green manufacturing. The research begins by analyzing the demand for mechanical engineering talents against the backdrop of the current national strategy, and then proposes strategies for reforming the content and teaching methods of mechanism course. By adding content related to intelligent and green manufacturing, adopting case-based and project-based teaching methods, implementing a hybrid online-offline teaching model, strengthening the cultivation of practical abilities and school-enterprise cooperation, and integrating the education of socialist core values, this study has constructed a mechanism course system that meets the requirements of the new era. The implementation of the study is expected to significantly improve the teaching quality of mechanism course and cultivate more mechanical engineering talents with strategic thinking and practical capabilities.
