ABSTRACT

The "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design" course is a core course for mechanical engineering majors and a foundational required course for mechanical engineering students. In the process of imparting professional knowledge, ideological and political education must be given equal importance to achieve the coordinated development of professional skill cultivation and value guidance. In this paper, the ideological and political education model of the course is explored. First, a three-dimensional framework for identifying ideological and political education elements—history, technology, and ethics—is established, achieving the organic integration of the professional knowledge system and value guidance elements. Second, a comprehensive educational model is constructed, encompassing pre-class preparation stage, classroom teaching stage, practical teaching stage. Finally, an ideological and political quality assessment system is established, enabling scientific evaluation and dynamic monitoring of students' ideological and political qualities.
